Wilson, Davis Introduce State Defense Forces Improvement Act

Washington, Jul 20 - Today, Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) and Congressman Lincoln Davis (D-TN) introduced the bipartisan State Defense Forces Improvement Act:

"As the War on Terror continues, State Defense Forces are playing an increasingly critical role in ensuring that our communities are prepared to respond to homeland security crises," said Wilson. "However, without the correct equipment, training and coordination, these capable men and women find it difficult to live up to their full potential. By offering this legislation, we are taking a vital step today to enable State Defense Forces to better protect American families."
