SPEAK OUT FOR SOLDIERS! Peace Action is joining our affiliate organization New Jersey Peace Action, veterans groups, and a host of other peace and justice organizations in a campaign to defederalize the National Guard. The Bush Administration began this war by Federalizing the National Guard to assign aspects of the occupation cost to State budgets. Now Vermont, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey have spoken out against this unjust and misleading policy of war. This is also an opportunity to keep U.S. soldiers at home where they belong. If successful, States who petition to de-Federalize the guard would have the ultimate say over where those troops are deployed. We want to take this campaign to every state in our union. Already, citizens in other states are petitioning their State representatives. Please sign our petition calling for the defederalization of the National Guard in New Jersey and then take steps to bring similar measures to your home state. Sign
this petition and lobby for similar legislation in your State. |
