Take Back Vermont was an issue-oriented political campaign in the U.S. state of Vermont in the year 2000. Its formation was triggered by the state legislature's passage of a law establishing civil unions for same-sex couples in 2000. Its aim was wider than repealing the civil unions law. It was also a counter-reaction to the state's changing demographics, particularly the arrival of large numbers of affluent, liberal, Democratic residents from out-of-state, sometimes called flatlanders. Ruth Dwyer, the Republican nominee for governor that year who, despite being from out of state herself, was closely identified with the movement, spoke of "a clash of outlooks" with the other side consisting of "new people who make the rules for others and don't listen".

  • Take Back Vermont was an issue-oriented political campaign in the U.S. state of Vermont in the year 2000. Its formation was triggered by the state legislature's passage of a law establishing civil unions for same-sex couples in 2000. Its aim was wider than repealing the civil unions law. It was also a counter-reaction to the state's changing demographics, particularly the arrival of large numbers of affluent, liberal, Democratic residents from out-of-state, sometimes called flatlanders. Ruth Dwyer, the Republican nominee for governor that year who, despite being from out of state herself, was closely identified with the movement, spoke of "a clash of outlooks" with the other side consisting of "new people who make the rules for others and don't listen". Signs bearing the words "Take Back Vermont" were printed by the thousands and were sold for $5 apiece. They became a regular fixture on roadside barns, garages and front porches, most prominently in Orange and Washington counties. In 2010, it was reported that signs could still be seen along Route 30 and Route 25. The intent of the movement was to obtain public support (money and votes) to elect officeholders who would repeal these liberal statutes. Ultimately, the movement was unsuccessful. In retrospect, the movement was part of the ongoing culture war. (en)
