CHESTER, Vt. – On Saturday, June 14, from 10:30 a.m. – 12 p.m., join us on the Chester Green to echo Benjamin Franklin’s response to Elizabeth Willing Powel’s question about the Constitution in 1787, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”
“A Republic,” he replied, “if you can keep it.”
As organizations in more than 20 Vermont locations and more than 1,000 venues all across America are saying, “We don’t do kings.”
The nationwide No Kings Day is taking place on Flag Day, and will allow citizens of Chester and surrounding towns to celebrate the simple but essential rights and liberties that Franklin hoped Americans could keep.
Come demonstrate America’s love of its freedoms with your friends and neighbors, and listen to local speakers and guests like well-known former Windsor County Sen. Dick McCormick, who will remind us about what we must protect, and what we must prevent.
Share the No Kings information and invite your friends and neighbors.
