Defend the Guard legislation would prohibit a state’s National Guard units from being deployed into active combat without a formal declaration of war by Congress, as provided by the U.S. Constitution.
Our country should not go to war until Congress votes to declare it. Our soldiers should not put their boots on the ground until members of Congress put their names on the dotted line. If you believe in accountability and transparency in government on that most important issue, war and peace, please sign our petition so you can stand and be counted among our veterans and patriots.
