“Gus Jaccaci is a very close friend and I am delighted to do what I can for his Independent campaign for Congress. Ordinarily I would not get involved, but Gus embodies the right ideas and principles if anybody in politics does. These days, it is clear that people with courage and integrity stay well away from politics, which seems messier and nastier than it has ever been. I am not a Vermont voter, but Vermont would do very well for itself and for all of us, if it would send Gus to Washington!”
“This is the time of year for new ideas, and you have always been a master of initiatives. You would serve well in a position of influence where your creative initiatives would help make possible the educational and social changes that are becoming more and more sought after by public opinion.”
“Gus Jaccaci offers Vermonters an original, eco-humanitarian vision. Go Gus!”
“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.”– Mark Twain
“Dear Vermonters,
I had met Gus several years ago. You can read all about his platform and positions below.
He is a unique person – his approach is 180 degrees away from Palin and O’Donnell – note his message:
Abolish War to Build Community to Learn Love.
This is not quite the usual message from any representative … from any state in the USA.
Please consider helping this friend of mine from the CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING INSTITUTE!
Please pass the word – every vote will help! I can promise you that Gus will do something dramatic and positive about ‘politics as usual’.”

“I really enjoyed your talk [on the science of General Systems Periodicity]. You’re way out there, but there’s some truth in what you’re saying and you’re brave which I like. Gus has guts.”
“I know Gus Jaccaci to be a man of extraordinary vision and
compassion whose ideas, if adopted, would rock the established order. Does anyone doubt that the present world empire ought to be rocked and dismantled? What we have now is unsustainable with life on Earth. The system is brittle–hard but fragile. Transformation is at hand, but needs midwives. Gus is one of those.”
“It’s hard to believe that I’ve known Gus for nearly 50 years. We first met when he was my Ski Team Coach during my Junior and Senior years at Harvard from 1962 through 1964. That’s when I learned that Gus could do just about anything he set his mind to, no matter what anyone else thought. He was able to inspire us to go far beyond our expectations with his challenging vision, while supporting our efforts with his unique gift of humor.At that time, the Harvard Ski Team competed in the toughest league in the East, against powerhouse teams from Dartmouth, Middlebury, UVM, UNH, Norwich, St. Lawrence, Williams, etc. All the other universities funded their teams and many of them had their own nearby ski areas and Winter Carnival races. But the Harvard Ski Team received no funding from the university. It’s only source of financial support was from alumni. Gus took us to qualifying for the NCAA Division 1 National Championships both years he coached us. In one incredible upset, Harvard finished third overall in the Dartmouth Carnival, beating out many of the finest college ski teams in the Eastern US. No Harvard Ski Team had ever done these things before or since. In fact, I doubt that any Eastern college ski team that wasn’t funded by their school has ever done that before or since. Thank you, Gus.Gus coached at Rutland High School and then after at Harvard and at Phillips Academy, Andover, among other places. He coached my brother, Rick Chaffee, who later became a multi-time NCAA National Ski Champion and a member of two US Olympic Ski Teams. If Gus can inspire so many people to excel in sports, imagine what he could do in Washington!”
“Close to ten years ago, Gus coached me in how to recognize the change agent that I am and how to bring this person out into my life! He changed my life in this work.
Gus is gifted beyond compare. Society is just beginning to catch up to where Gus has been for the last twenty years. We are blessed to have this man’s work available at this time. If you are thinking of working with a Master, find this man, work with him. You will be grateful for many years to come!”

“I like your platform and would certainly vote for you if I could. I went to Green Mountain College so I will forward to all my old Vermont friends! Good luck!”

“I am passing this along, sent to me from a dear friend, Gus Jacacci, who is running as an Independent, for the US. Congress in this November’s election.
Gus was on our Board of Directors a few years ago and is an amazing social architect who ran for Governor of Vermont many years ago and is throwing his hat in the ring of politics once again. He has appeared throughout the state and on many college campuses across the USA, dressed in full costume, as Thomas Jefferson speaking to us from the future- Gus is fabulous!
He is incredibly bright, eloquent and dedicated to helping midwife a different approach to politics and co-creating a vital and sustainable world.
He is doing this campaign without accepting any donations! How cool is that!!!
Please check out his website and pass along to anyone you think might like to know about Gus and his campaign and help him get his message out throughout the great State of Vermont! Choices and diversity are healthy for our State and for our world.”

… I agree. Vermont can lead the nation. We know this.”
I love your energy, your dedication….and agree with you wholeheartedly about this state to change the nation.
What do you think that your campaign will look like? Would love to hear!
Cheryl Conner
“I love his platform – sounds just like Vermont.
He will bring a breath of fresh air to the House when he is elected – they won’t know what to do with him – they might even listen!”
Len
“If I were a Vermonter, I’d vote for YOU! I will send this out to several colleagues and friends.
…keep shining your light and showing others by example.”
Patricia
“Gus Jaccaci was a classmate of mine at CU for two years and then transferred to Harvard. After graduating from Harvard, was an admissions officer and ski coach there, taught at Andover and was assistant to the president at Boston College. Went on to University of Buffalo and got degrees in Futurism and had a successful career as a futurist. Please consider him in your selection for the US House of Representatives in November. “
Bill Strang
“Yo Gus!
You’re the man. You’d get my vote, but I’m not a Vermonter.
Congratulations. Congress needs you; our nation needs you. Get it done.
Don’t give up. Never give up. Look em in the eye, smile, articulate your
vision, and give em hell…”
Dave
“Congrats Gus … for your courageous voice and actions engaging with our sometimes weary-ing but always spirited political system. I’ll be rooting for you from my New York State sidelines.”
John
