An anti-war group wants state lawmakers around the nation to strip the federal government of its power to send National Guard troops to Iraq. The "Bring the Guard Home campaign" held a news conference in Denver today near the DNC site. Mark Pocan, a state representative from Wisconsin, was one of the speakers. He says Wisconsin is one of eleven states where bills are being drafted aimed at ending the deployment of National Guard troops to Iraq. The bill could be introduced this year.
