John, Representative Briscoe Cain recently filed the Defend the Guard Act (HB930), a vital piece of legislation that could end unconstitutional federal deployments of Texas National Guard troops. Support our efforts to help Defend the Guard legislation across the country today!
>>> This bill ensures that no Texas National Guard unit is sent into active combat unless Congress fulfills its constitutional responsibility to officially declare war, as outlined in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. The National Guard's role is to protect and serve the state—not to be used as pawns in endless, undeclared wars abroad. Since 9/11, National Guard troops have deployed over 1.1 million times overseas, with Texas contributing to missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond—all without a formal declaration of war. The Defend the Guard movement is gaining momentum nationwide, with several states,
including New Hampshire, Arizona, and Idaho, advancing similar legislation in 2024. Texas has the chance to lead the charge in 2025. But we can’t do this alone. Bills like HB930 face fierce opposition from entrenched interests in both state and federal government. That’s where you come in. Here’s how you can help: - Contact Legislators: Call or email Texas representatives and urge them to support HB930.
- Spread the Word: Share this email and information about Defend the Guard with your friends, family, and networks.
- Support the Movement: Donate to the Libertarian Party's Defend the Guard initiative today to help us advocate for this legislation across the country.
