ABOUT VFMAC:
Vermont Freedom to Marry Action Committee, Inc. (VFMAC), formerly the Vermonters for Civil Unions Legislative Defense Fund, Inc. (VCULDF), is a 501(c)(4) organization dedicated to full marriage equality for same sex couples in Vermont.

Thanks, HRC!
VFMAC was a grateful recipient of a $5,000 Equality Fund Grant from Human Rights Campaign in 2001. This grant enabled us to continue our valuable work in Vermont's Legislature


 

In this section you will find listings for daily and less frequent (but still read) Vermont newspapers. Below are some letters to help you navigation to the papers you want to contact.
   
Writing letters is an effective way of explaning the need for civil unions and supporting candidates who agree that gay and lesbian Vermonters should have their families legally recognized.
Be brief, 250 words or less
Be positive and supportive of all families. Use reason and thoughtful arguments
Be respectful and courteous of opposing views.
Tell your story! Personalizing makes a big impression.
Remember - civil marriage not religious marriage
Send copies to more than one paper. The more the better
