**DEFEND THE GUARD!
**
Defend the Guard is an attempt to reign in the Federal government and force constitutional adherence. Deploying the National Guard overseas in foreign entanglement is a direct violation of the Constitution according to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15. Which delegates to Congress the power to provide for “calling forth the militia in 3 situations only; 1. To execute the laws of the union, 2. To suppress insurrections, 3. To repel invasions.” The Defend the Guard Act would grant the Governor permission to deny any Federal request for National Guard deployment that does not fall into the criteria as outlined in the Constitution.
Without declaration of war, our National Guard should be at home with all resources ready to protect and support the people of New Jersey. America has been involved in foreign conflicts described as “war” for the past 70 years, yet no declaration of war has come by Congress since WWII.
Nick is anti-war and anti-foreign involvement. Together we must pass a Defend the Guard Act to help stop perpetual war.
