On Wednesday, January 21, 2009, the “Bring the Guard Home Campaign”, started by the Liberty Tree Foundation for a New Democracy, officially launched the nationwide movement. So far 19 states have started the campaign to stop sending any more Guard troops from their respective States to Iraq. Resolutions are being prepared, and introduced by the state legislatures demanding that the Governor no longer federalize guard troops due to the expiration of the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) which allowed the president full authority over the military since it was a time of national emergency, which is no longer applicable.
