Editor,
The 2016 gubernatorial candidacy of Bill Lee marks the resurgence of the Liberty Union Party as the main voice of progressive conscience and thought in state politics as the Vermont Progressive Party has lost that distinction due to recent bad campaign strategies and decisions in their attempts to collaborate with the establishment Vermont Democratic Party.

The Liberty Union Party is alive and well and giving Vermont a true alternative choice from the corporation lobby influenced Democratic and Republican parties.

If the Vermont Progressive Party wishes to repair their progressive reputation they should take a step in that direction by officially nominating Bill Lee as their candidate for Vermont governor and his running mate Boots Wardinski for lieutenant governor. This can be effected by Vermonters choosing to take the Progressive Party ballot into the voting booth on the upcoming August the ninth primary day or obtaining an absentee ballot from their town clerk office beforehand and writing in the name and town of Bill Lee (Craftsbury) in the spot for governor and in the lieutenant governor slot voting for Boots Wardinski (Newbury).
