MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) An activist group is hoping to get a resolution on Town Meeting Day ballots that calls on the state to recall Vermont National Guard troops from Iraq.

The war in Iraq, claims the Vermont Network on Iraq Resolutions, is a ''quintessentially local issue'' because of the National Guard and therefore belongs on the agenda at town meeting.

The network is circulating petitions in an effort to get enough signatures to put a resolution concerning the war on the Town Meeting Day agenda of dozens of troops.

The premise of the resolution is that the war in Iraq is unjustified and illegal. It asks the state to pursue two avenues to recall Vermont Guard troops already deployed.
