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.
