Independence: Brought to you courtesy of the service of others.

Our Independence was born with the stroke of a pen on July 4th, 1776.   We were a nation without the rights of our mother country; our forefathers rose up and fought for our right to self-governance, our right to be a free and independent people.  They created a government that was to be of the people, by the people, for the people.

GREGG COSPONSORS BILL TO RAMP UP THE POWERS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) today announced his support for S. 2760, the National Guard Empowerment and State-National Defense Integration Act of 2008.  This bipartisan legislation would provide the National Guard with increased status within the Department of Defense.  It would ensure that military and homeland security activities of the National Guard receive the attention they deserve as they work to protect our nation.  The proposal would elevate the Chief of the National Guard to the rank of a four-star General and provide a seat for the Chief of the National Guard Bureau on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.  Additionally, it would ensure that the Guard and the state’s Governors are in a direct chain of communication with the President and Secretary of Defense on issues of national security, budgeting, as well as the use of military during response to national disasters.
