When former Vermont Governor Howard Dean started his campaign to become President of the United States one commentator wrote: "Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading, Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont, where it belongs." This Travel Award allows the recipient to debate with and get to know the young people from this maligned New England State with a population of just 600,000 people.
