The people of Vermont have long aspired to live together under fair laws that recognize our equality and common humanity.
As business leaders, we support the freedom to marry in Vermont. We understand that strong businesses thrive in strong communities. We know that our ability to recruit the most talented employees depends on our ability to attract them to a state with fair and inclusive laws. And we understand that Vermont's national leadership in civil rights is an important part of who we are as a state.
Because marriage is a basic human right and an individual choice, we support full civil marriage for same-sex couples.
Sincerely,
