Start a Bring Home Our Guard campaign in your state.





The ultimate goal of this campaign is to move the Governor of each state to call on the President for the immediate withdrawal of all National Guard troops from Iraq.

Making that happen takes a lot of organization and support; the information and tools below should give you a clear outline of how to get going.

Step One - Creating Regional Working Groups.
The first thing you'll need to do is pull together a team of people to work on the campaign. For a step by step plan that will help you put together a working group click here.

Step Two - Approaching your Representatives for support, endorsements and votes to pass the Resolution.
