I don't know if this has been written about yet, but here goes. The race for Attorney General in Vermont may be far more important than the Bachmann debacle in Minnesota...This is second only to the importance of electing Barack Obama President of the United States.
We may have time for one final push!
Charlotte Dennett is running for Attorney General of Vermont. She's in the progressive party (P). Here's the letter she issued to current Attorney General William Sorrell:

Attorney General William Sorrell
The Office of the Attorney General of Vermont
109 State St.
Montpelier, VT 05609
Dear Attorney General Sorrell,
I, Charlotte Dennett, and Vincent Bugliosi, who as you know is campaigning with me, challenge you to a debate titled, "On Whether Vermont has Jurisdiction to Prosecute George W. Bush for the Deaths of All Vermont Soldiers who Died Fighting Bush's War in Iraq." You have asserted a number of times in previous debates that Vermont does not have the jurisdiction. We disagree strongly and feel the voters deserve to make a decision based upon the facts on this particular issue. Please feel welcome to propose a time and place which is convenient, within the next week. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Charlotte Dennett
Candidate for Attorney General
If you didn't know, Vincent Bugliosi prosecuted Charles Manson and has written a NYT best-selling book Prosecuting George W. Bush for Murder
He also believes that George W. Bush should be charged with the murders of over 4,000 American soldiers as well as over 100,000 Iraqis who have died in Iraq since the American-led invasion of that country because of the strong evidence that Bush launched that invasion under false pretenses. He has recently released a book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, laying out this evidence and outlining what questions he would ask Bush at a potential murder trial. Bugliosi gave testimony at a House Judiciary Committee meeting on July 25, 2008, to consider impeachment proceedings for Bush.
Above from Wiki...
If there's anything we can do to get her elected, we have to. Bugliosi puts forth a compelling argument that if Bush is prosecuted at the state level, federal protections against criminal prosecution DO NOT apply.

I have just learned about this woman - kind of like with Tinklenberg in MN. The above was taken from her website. I bet $10 donations would help her out incredibly. I don't know about you Kossacks, but Dennett seems like a case for support. What say you Kossaks? What say you?
Here's her website again!
