The only position that all these states have taken is against the Fed. Govt.
In politics and sociology, divide and rule (derived from Latin divide et impera) (also known as divide and conquer) is a combination of political, military and economic strategy of gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into chunks that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. In reality, it often refers to a strategy where small power groups are prevented from linking up and becoming more powerful, since it is difficult to break up existing power structures.
finds it prudent to heed the recommendation from the Department of Homeland Security to establish a permanent state defense force by revising the militia statutes relative to the state guard.

I live in the Hippy State, and Obama is our God. Telling people around here to not support the Federal Government would get me burned at the stake for Heresy.

So instead of federal troops imposing martial law, state troops will?
This is better??
Sounds like the governments plan to me.
Make them so scared that they put their own troops to patrol against ours.
It's like having your cake and eating it too.
Troops on streets are troops on streets.

I sent an email to the Rep that is the Primary of this one.
Representative Daniel Itse,
I wanted to show you support for your bill 2009-H-0073-R
HB524. Thank you very much for being a level headed American
Patriot. I like NH's moxie lately, like other states to take back the
power from the Federal Govt.
I believe that have overstepped their bounds a long time ago, and
are trashing our Constitution. I know that I am not alone in this support.
There are a majority of americans that feel the same way.
Best Regards,

Could this just be a backdoor for martial law? By each state having their own "defense force" it would be possible to keep the national army on foreign soil, but still crack down on the people at home.
The purpose of the state guard shall be the defense of the state: to coordinate the resources of the state and interface between the state and the national guard in time of emergency or natural disaster and to defend the state against invasion.
Equipment. The state shall not be required to supply equipment or uniforms to the state guard. The state may supply equipment or uniforms to the state guard which is considered surplus or obsolete by the national guard or which is donated by a service organization. The state guard may apply for grants and donations to pay for equipment and supplies. The state guard may also apply to the armed forces of the United States of America for surplus equipment.
