Good news―the Defend the Guard movement is picking up steam. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
In the latest indication that rank-and-file Republicans are ready to move on from an era of senseless and unconstitutional militarism, a whopping 84% of Texas GOP voters on Tuesday backed a resolution demanding that the Lone Star State reject any deployment of National Guard troops to a combat zone without a congressional declaration of war.
The proposition, one of 13 non-binding questions put to Republican voters in Tuesday’s primary election, said, “The Texas Legislature should prohibit the deployment of the Texas National Guard to a foreign conflict unless Congress first formally declares war.“
The proposition’s presence on the Texas ballot is a testament to the growing momentum of the nationwide “Defend the Guard” movement, which is led by Bring Our Troops Home, a group of Global War on Terror veterans and like-minded civilians seeking an end to “endless wars.”
