A project of @TroopsHomeUS to keep our National Guard out of unconstitutional wars 🇺🇸 Sign our petition to help pass the bill in your home state!

Tonight our Chairman @DanMcKnight30 appeared on @OANN with @mattgaetz to discuss his recent Twitter feud with @marklevinshow

Dan said that our nation must stop fighting these endless wars.

Levin responded by calling an American veteran a "Klansman" and a "lowlife."

[Dan McKnight @DanMcKnight30]

New here? Here’s who I am.

I served in the Marine Corps, the Army and the Idaho National Guard, including a deployment to Afghanistan. I chair Bring Our Troops Home and founded Defend the Guard.

One idea drives all of it. The Constitution gives Congress, not the President, the power to declare war. For 25 years Congress has dodged that duty, and Guard troops from your state have paid for it.

Defend the Guard is state legislation that keeps your Guard out of wars Congress never declared. It’s moving in statehouses right now, including New Hampshire this week.

@marklevinshow, the offer stands. Let’s debate the Iran war: your show, my channel, or neutral ground, with any moderator you’ll accept, for 90 minutes.

If you’re done with wars nobody voted for, follow along.

[Dan McKnight @DanMcKnight30]

In true Marine fashion, Rep. Tom Mannion filed Defend the Guard on the eve of the Marine Corps birthday.

He's a Marine infantryman who did two combat tours in Iraq with 3/6, and he's bringing DTG back to New Hampshire.

No declaration of war, no sending the NH Guard into combat.

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, and now from the statehouse in Concord, Tom keeps fighting for the U.S. Constitution.

Semper Fi, Devil Dog. Happy 251st.

[Tom Mannion - NH State Rep @mannion4nh]

It's in.

The U.S. Senate could soon be adding another supporter of @DefendTheGuard 🇺🇸

[Michael Anderson @HarviiLee]

Proud of the young men of action within the Young Republicans of Texas for endorsing @DefendTheGuard

[Bring Our Troops Home @TroopsHomeUS]

Future @DefendTheGuard sponsor 💪🏻

[𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐧 ~🎙️🇺🇸 @RogueLou18]

Excited to see Colton in the statehouse. If you’ve been to any IDGOP convention/meeting you know how well he speaks for a younger candidate. He’s going to make committee watching bearable (for me). Hope he’s the @DefendTheGuard torch bearer in the House. *cough @DanMcKnight30

What are the unseen costs of the Iran War on the American people, specifically our National Guard?

[Young Republicans of Texas @YRsOfTexas]

We support Defend the Guard legislation prohibiting the deployment of the Texas National Guard into foreign combat operations unless Congress has formally declared war. Resolved at convention:

[Michael Anderson @HarviiLee]

I’m proud to announce that the Young Republicans of Texas has officially endorsed @DefendTheGuard

[Bring Our Troops Home @TroopsHomeUS]

Fight back where the ground is favorable!

On October 20, @theactioncorps and allies across the country are taking the fight against the Iran war to their congressional district offices.

Then finish the day in Austin, Texas with our chairman @danmcknight30, @joekent16jan19, @scotthortonshow, @KelleyBVlahos and Adam Weinstein.

Left and right, together on one issue. This is not our war.

[Melissa Wong @Melissa_WongMT]

@GovGianforte is busy playing globalist in Sri Lanka while Montanans go ignored. These "Partnership" programs are the perfect example of the mission creep that is hollowing out our Montana National Guard.

Some try to misrepresent @DefendtheGuard as an end to all overseas travel, but that is not the case.

We keep DTG strategically narrowed to combat missions only.

While these specific deployments hide behind the "civil" label to dodge @DefendGuardMT requirements, they violate the very spirit America First.

Our citizen soldiers belong home protecting MONTANA and our sovereignty, not acting as props for State Department outreach.

It is time to prioritize our people and our homeland.

Please support @DefendGuardMT

Our Chairman @DanMcKnight30 is on LIVE with @TYT to discuss @DefendTheGuard

[RLC of Texas @RLCofTX]

The Texas Legislature should prohibit the deployment of the Texas National Guard to a foreign conflict unless Congress first formally declares war. #DefendtheGuard @TroopsHomeUS

[David Roberson @DVCRKTT]

💯 Defend the Guard has long been a plank of the @TexasGOP platform, as a state wide ballot proposition receiving an overwhelming 83% vote of support, and has been reconfirmed as essential this last cycle.

@mayes_middleton has confirmed his support for such legislation, as has @USAttyReitz

I am looking to @AndyHopperTX as the Champion for this legislation in 2027 . #texaslege
