Safeguard the Guard - Wisconsin

Safeguard the Guard is a Wisconsin campaign to enact legal safeguards to protect the members of the Wisconsin National Guard from unlawful deployments. Our efforts are part of the national "Bring the Guard Home" campaign, now active in more than 20 states. Our goal is to honor the members of the Wisconsin Guard and their commitment to our state with a commitment of our own: that they will never again be used in an illegal war.

Assembly Bill 203 requires the governor -- and gives him legal authority -- to insure that no Wisconsin Guard unit is unlawfully released into national service. It directs the governor to review every federal call-up of the National Guard for its legality, and where there is no lawful basis for Guard federalization, to take action to keep the Wisconsin Guard at home.
