"The 'Rangers' in Colorado and Arizona are a kick-a$$ organization"

I live in Arizona and I have not heard of a "Rangers" organization.

Where can I get info and sign up?

That one I dont know about. It pretty much seems that most of the State Defense Forces that are active are posted on the link at the top. I will look for the rangers and see what I can find

Somewhat ironically, even Gary Hart also apparently supports this! Studies have been made of the Swiss Civil Defense model and indicate there is much to learn there. I've seen no compelling reason not to pursue it. The only reasons anyone would oppose it are utterly disingenuous and possibly worthy of treason accusations. Our national security is not just another special interest - it is the ultimate in "the welfare of the People." We should get very serious about a data driven benchmarking of the Swiss system and put together a serious proposal to amend the Homeland Security Act with it. And in doing so we will be able to expose all significant 5th columns for what they really are; traitors and haters of the USA.

The country has been so inundated with illegals that any action is impossible. They will shut down the state with civil disobedience and violence should any meaningful action be taken against them. Have no doubt that when they tell us to get out of their country that we will go.

There is too much fear, even among many conservatives, the civil war would start up again( eventually) if States were allowed to have their own armies. I like the idea of TOWNS having their own units.

It would be consistent with the views of(most) women on other issues. Namely they want an all powerful central government protecting them from cradle to grave.

The Swiss Canton system would be a better model than State armies I agree.
