Time to Educate the Public, Congress on Our Constitution

A Civilian National Security Force Not Needed Against Americans

On Thursday, April 15th, while thousands of people marched on the State Capitol lawn to bring our government back to its limited government roots, State Senator Glenn Grothman announced he is introducing a resolution objecting to a potential national security force that President Obama touted during his campaign.

“While prior administrations of both parties expanded federal power in ways which would have horrified the drafters of the Constitution, the current Administration is continuing this pace at a fevered pitch,” said Grothman. “My constituents are demanding the Legislature fight back.”

“While I have signed on to resolutions dealing with the recent healthcare power grab, I have decided to bring the Legislature’s attention to President Obama’s bizarre campaign promise to establish ‘… a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, and just as well funded” as our military,” said Grothman. “The speech was given at the University of Colorado on July 2, 2008, and the context of the speech makes it clear this is not an expansion of AmeriCorps or similar other civilian make-work program. There is no way any American that is the least bit concerned about our nation’s future should not be horrified at what is going on in that man’s mind.”

“Domestic security in America is clearly a local function. I can understand why totalitarian regimes want a large domestic security force to keep the citizenry in line,” said Grothman. “It is appalling when a person running for federal office would have uttered the words above and we have yet to hear any adequate explanation for what he was saying. It is important the State of Wisconsin go on record as saying we will not recognize the authority of any new national police force President Obama plans on sending into our state.”

RE: Co-sponsorship - LRB 4595/2 - Resolution Against a Civilian National Security Force

Short Deadline: If you would like to co-sponsor this legislation, please contact my office at 266-7513 by Noon on Tuesday April 20th.

Colleagues,

We have seen an alarming expansion of federal powers over the last 13 ½ months which is clearly contrary to the intent of the framers of our Constitution.

This erosion was preceded by the prior administration but has increased at an accelerated clip under President Obama. It is time to assert our rights under the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution as we don’t know what the next expansion will be.

At one point on the campaign trail, Candidate Obama mentioned establishing “…a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, and just as well funded” as our military.

In order to make clear that the states will not stand for this extreme power grab and educate the public as to what a bizarre president we currently have, I am drafting a Senate Resolution objecting to such a police force.

If you would like to co-sponsor Senate Joint Resolution (LRB 4595/2), please contact my office at 266-7513 by Noon on Tuesday, April 20.

- Glenn
