Liberty Union pushes Diamondstone candidacy statewide
Peter Diamondstone, Liberty Union candidate for attorney general, campaigns in Vermont with blunt calls for curbing monopolies in utilities and medicine, decriminalizing heroin, and shifting energy toward solar. He advocates doctor placement by geography, 99 percent taxation above governor’s salary, and medical center distribution of heroin at cost. He frames these ideas as ways to empower the common person and challenge the status quo.
