The Issue: Sign online petition to the White House in support of making the Chief of the National Guard Bureau a full member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In order to better provide the National Guard the ability to influence its own budget and provide guidance over policy decision affecting the Guard, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau must be made a full-fledged member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Placing the Chief on the JCS would reflect the size, capability, and contributions made by the 470,000 guardsmen serving our nation. This is in sharp contrast to the 242,000 active and reserve Marines currently being represented by the Commandant of the Marine Corps on the JCS.
We only need 5,000 people to sign the White House petition by October 23rd, in order for it to be reviewed and an official response released by the President. So please sign the petition today and also pass it along to your friends and family.
We urge every member of the Guard to immediately go online and sign the petition, and then share the link with your family, friends, and neighbors. We need to let the White House know that the Chief of the National Guard Bureau has earned a permanent seat on the JCS.
Please take action now! Go to http://wh.gov/gfW to sign the petition immediately!
