Protecting Our Homeland

Illinois has just recently seen the largest deployment of National Guard troops since World War II. More than 2,700 unit members from throughout the state have headed overseas. I will fight to bring National Guard troops home immediately. Their efforts are needed here during tragic disasters and events like Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath and the I-35W bridge collapse in Minnesota. If the Mississippi River flooded Rock Island, or God forbid, a plane crashed into a building in the Loop, who would Illinoisans turn to for assistance? It is imperative that the Illinois National Guard be redeployed back to the states without delay.
