Vermont to secede from U.S.A.???

It may not be as wacky as it sounds...

Disillusioned by what they call an empire about to fall, a small cadre of writers and academics in Vermont want the state to secede from the United States.

The secessionists hope to put the question before citizens in March. Eventually, they want to persuade state legislators to declare independence, returning Vermont to the status it held from 1777 to 1791.

"People would obviously relish coming to the Republic of Vermont, the Switzerland of North America," said Frank Bryan, a professor at the University of Vermont .

"Christ, you couldn't keep them away."


You heard it first from the Daily Dissidence- Howard Dean for the President of Vermont!!!

FOrgive my ignorance, but could this actually happen? Could a state legally secede from the USA?
