Willie Nelson, Bernie Sanders, American Democracy, and Vermont Daily Briefing

Roll all those together in hemp-based rolling papers and you get Phillip Baruth's fine blog piece - which also appeared in the superb print-based Vermont Guardian - entitled, "Willie Nelson's Covert Plan to Save American Democracy."

As always, Phillip is well worth the read. Vermont is blessed with some fine bloggers and even better minds.

For non-Vermonters, Willie Nelson came to the state in August to show his support for family farmers in general and U.S. Senate candidate (I) Bernie Sanders in particular.
