Dear Gov. Phil Scott,

Thank you for calling President Trump’s attempts to deploy National Guard troops in other states what they are — unconstitutional.

Thank you for standing in solidarity with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker as he defends his state against Trump’s threats to send in Texas guardsmen.

And thank you for refusing to allow the White House to use Vermont’s guard to bolster racist immigration operations and for refusing to send our guard to participate in the bogus crackdown in Washington, D.C.

Please keep standing up for the rule of law and defending our democracy.

Respectfully,

Trish O’Kane
