New York's governor must hear from you: NO National Guard on border

Friend, [sign and send the petition to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo: Reject Trump's request to send the New York National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border.]( [Sign and send the petition]( Donald Trump wants to send National Guard troops to militarize the U.S.-Mexico border, even though unauthorized border crossings are [at their lowest]( since the Nixon Administration. Trump is pandering to his xenophobic base before the midterm elections—because everyone else hates him at this point--hoping he can get them to the polls by whipping them into further hysteria against immigrants. [Sign and send a quick message to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo: Reject Trump's requests to send National Guard troops.]( [Sign and send the petition]( We can stop the militarization of the U.S.--Mexico border because Trump cannot make it happen by himself. Under Title 32 of the United States Code, only the state governors [may authorize]( the deployment of the National Guard. And it has been done before: In 2006, California's Republican governor [denied such a request]( from George W. Bush. Kate Brown, the governor of Oregon, [has already said]( that she would deny such a request if asked. But Texas' Republican governor [has said]( that he will comply and approve National Guard troops. No matter what state you live in, we need you to contact your governor. [Sign and send the petition to your governor: Reject Trump's militarization of U.S.-Mexico border. Deny his request for National Guard troops.]( [Sign and send the petition]( Keep fighting, Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos Daily Kos, PO Box 70036, Oakland, CA, 94612. Sent via [ActionNetwork.org](.
