In the Kansas Senate hearing, the Kansas Adjutant General used fear of federal retaliation as their entire objection to the DTG bill. Political prognostication of a totally undeterminable decrease in funding is a very weak argument. There is no precedent for or against this.

Think of the damage. Pray for peace.
The only thing that matters now is avoiding a nuclear war with Russia.
"The single most important issue in the world that faces all of mankind, forever, for the indefinite future, is America's relationship with Russia. Period."

We are fighting for them. We are simply asking Congress follows the constitution and declare war if you want our sons and daughters into combat. #defendtheguard #ksleg and #defendtheconstitution #kansas

The last declaration of war was in the 1940s. Our @congressdotgov for decades have passed the buck to Presidents. Not as intended by the constitution. This #PresidentsDay we should be talking about taking away their power. #defendtheguard #ksleg #kansas

Bring them home
Today we’re proud to announce that @PaulBrounforGA has signed our Congressional War Powers Pledge 🇺🇸
As a four-term Congressman and now candidate in Georgia 10th, Dr. Broun supports a repeal of all AUMFs, opposed intervention in Syria & supported the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

If you never read Harry Browne’s short essay “When Will We Learn” from the day after 9/11, you should.

Our world, our nation and our state is craving some peace, empathy, compassion and understanding. In light of threatening world events, especially in Ukraine, let's set aside the things that divide us and come together to voice our opposition to war and aggressive force.

Imagine if Ukraine were in NATO.
America would be in the middle of a war against a nuclear superpower.

This needs to stop. Now. Make Congress do their jobs and declare war if you want to send our families overseas. @KSHouse_GOP @KSSenGOP #defendtheguard
350 members of the Michigan National Guard are being deployed to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for up to a year to support U.S. military missions in Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere.
These wars were never declared by Congress.
We must pass #DefendTheGuard and restore the U.S. Constitution.

@GovLauraKelly. Please. Be the leader that starts a cascade of change to end how the United States fight endless wars with fellow Kansans. Our men and women in uniform should not be sent to battle without a declaration of war from Congress. #DefendTheGuard #ksleg

This is an important moment. Are we willing to send our kids to die for this? #DefendTheGuard
It seems like a lot of Americans are completely removed from the stakes of a war with Russia. I hear “we can’t let them do this” or “you just want to let them do that.” Understand, this ain’t fuckin Iraq. A war with Russia means the end of human existence.

Government treats the troops like cannon fodder, and the veterans like leftover waste.
How can we help them, and stop government from creating new victims?

Make them vote for it. #defendtheguard
It's reckless pronouncements like this which get American soldiers killed.
Rep. Maria Salazar of Florida says we need a no-fly zone in Ukraine, but admits she doesn't even know what it is.
Don't let bad politicians get us into World War III!

Someone needs to be telling us why why put our families in this position. #endthewars #defendtheguard
We're at the point where US troops being indefinitely stationed in Syria is just accepted as natural fact, even though virtually no one can explain what the mission is. Kind of like how indefinite US proxy warfare in Ukraine just kind of naturally materialized out of the ether

Keep in mind, this is not just a Kansas cause. Other states are joining or have joined this fight to keep our troops safe from the state using our men and women as pawns in illegal wars. #defendtheguard #constitution #kansas

When I return to the Maine Senate, I intend to sponsor #DefendTheGuard legislation w/ a trigger clause that it will go into effect upon passage in 13 states -- bringing the state national guard home from all undeclared foreign wars.

Time to #defendtheguard
A lot of the people who mention that 30 yrs of US/NATO expansionist policy is the major driving factor that led to the current war, are accused of spreading “Russian talking points” “apologizing for Putin.” It’s a despicable and dishonest tactic. Never forget the ppl who use it.

Better yet, do your jobs and declare all the other wars we are currently in now, or leave immediately. #NoWar #defendtheguard
Just a year ago, we lost a war against goat herders waving rifles. Members of Congress are now recklessly asserting that we are at war with Russia.
If we are at war, then why not vote on an AUMF?
We are sleepwalking into a war, and the American people are left in the dark.

And today with have a Congress that lets the Executive branch make these calls year after year against the constitution with no regards to life. #endwars #defendtheguard #NoWarWithRussia #NoWarInUkraine

The lack of "Constitutional process" since WWII places the war powers in the hands of one executive. This is not democracy. This becomes a shutting down of the process and starts more of a controlling of the process.

Proud to sign the Congressional war powers pledge, especially now.
Congress needs to show leadership & follow our constitution.

Sorry, @marwilliamson you are wrong here
Actually. Being against involving ourselves in somebody else's long standing conflict, does in fact, make you anti-war.
That's the entire fucking point.
