Don’t Let Troops Turn Our Neighborhoods Into War Zones

Summary

I will fight to stop the government from using our troops as street cops. The National Guard should protect us from disasters—not be weaponized for political power.

By Ricky Dana, Candidate for US House, Missouri-4

Quick Take: The government shouldn’t be using our troops as street cops. It’s a dangerous power grab, and Congress needs to stop it now.

We cannot stand by while our government threatens to turn our neighborhoods into war zones. Troops belong in disaster relief—not patrolling our streets or detaining civilians.

There’s a push underway to use the National Guard as law enforcement and even involve the military in immigration enforcement. This not only violates constitutional principles—it threatens our democracy and undermines public trust in our communities.

We must demand: No troops on our streets. No military role in immigration enforcement. The National Guard should remain focused on protecting citizens from floods, fires, and disasters—not being weaponized for political agendas.

Take action today: Sign and share the petition urging Congress to protect our communities and uphold democratic values.
