Following is my written testimony submitted to the Wednesday hearing of the\u00a0 Maryland House Health and Government Operations Committee, In Support<\/strong> of <\/strong>HB 0220<\/strong>, \u201cDefend the Guard” (sponsored by Rep. Robin Grammer):<\/p>\n

I am writing to support HB 0220.\u00a0\u00a0 I \u00a0have written ten books, including Lost Rights: The Destruction of American Liberty (St. Martin\u2019s Press, 1994) and Terrorism and Tyranny (St. Martin\u2019s, 2003).\u00a0 I am on the Board of Contributors of USA Today, a contributing editor of American Conservative, and a frequent contributor to the New York Post and other publications.\u00a0 My writing often focuses on government lies and abuses. Past articles available at www.jimbovard.com<\/p>\n

HB 0220 would prohibit the governor from sending any Maryland National Guard unit into \u201cactive duty combat\u201d unless\u00a0Congress has passed an official declaration of war or under other narrow circumstances.\u00a0 More than 600,000 Guard members have been deployed abroad since 2001 in undeclared wars or conflicts.\u00a0 Maryland Guard members fought in Fallujah and were sent to the notorious Abu Ghraib prison. This had nothing to do with defending the residents of Maryland against any threat for which the Guard was originally created. \u00a0The risk that the U.S. government could become entangled in warfare in Ukraine is another urgent reason for safeguarding the Maryland Guard.<\/p>\n

Permitting presidents to rely on state Guard units undermines the control of a president\u2019s war-making capacity. \u00a0Afghan war veteran West Virginia Rep. Pat McGeehan explained the purpose of this legislation when he proposed a similar bill in his state: \u201cFor decades, the power of war has long been abused by this supreme executive, and unfortunately our men and women in uniform have been sent off into harm\u2019s way over and over. If the U.S. Congress is unwilling to reclaim its constitutional obligation, then the states themselves must act to correct the erosion of constitutional law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Presidents have too much power. HB 0220 gives Maryland legislators a chance to rein in the White House\u2019s power over Maryland citizens regardless of who is president.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the opportunity to submit this testimony.<\/p>\n
