Chapter 1
Issue #5572
July
2nd. “Mr. Adams, you can’t possibly be serious. This
proposal is completely unnecessary. This is just out right plain unethical. You
cannot do this to an official state of union of the United States of America ,” yelled Californian
Democratic Senator Scott Kenning across the Hall of Congress. “California does not need
this right now, especially in its current state of affairs,” the senator
screamed as he slammed his fist on the top of his desk.
“I’m sorry
Senator, but it is because of California ’s
current state that this issue has been requested by President Smith himself,”
replied Matthew Adams, the vice president of the United States .
“I don’t
care if the request came from God all mighty himself. This is worst possible
solution to the problem.”
“Mr. Vice
President, may I take the floor?”
“Yes you
may Senator.”
“Senator
Kenning, you are being totally unreasonable. You need to stop, take a breath,
and think this all the way through. Now, due to recent outbreaks in the gang
violence and the ignorance of the Californian government to do anything about
it, the only possible solution to this problem is to send in the National
Guard,” said Virginian Republican Senator Keith Standing.
“No. This
is not the ONLY solution to the problem,” replied Senator Kenning. The entire
congress hall erupted into one hundred different voices arguing only two, but
very different points.
“Quiet.
Please. Would everyone please be quiet,” yelled Mr. Adams. He slammed down a
gavel and slowly all of those hundred voices quieted down to a quiet so dead
that everyone was scared to break it. “This proposal has already been approved
by the House of Representatives. Now it is time for the United States Senate to
vote on Issue #5572, the deployment of the National Guard into the state of California , on the
grounds of controlling gang violence. Now, all in favor of passing the issue
please raise your hand. Senator Kenning looked around the room and saw that
nearly half of all the hands in the room were up. After all the votes had been
counted Mr. Adams spoke again, “Now all those opposed to passing the issue,
please raise your hand.” Senator Kenning raised his hand and once again looked
around the room. He took notice of the fact that nearly half of the hands were
up. This vote was too close to call.
“All votes
have been counted the issue has passed 53-47. The National Guard will be
deployed throughout California in the course of two days.”
“I now
officially call this Congressional meeting of July 2nd adjourned,” said Vice President Adams.
“You are all making a huge
mistake,” Senator Kenning yelled as he stomped out of the Congress Hall. “You
will be sorry for ever passing Issue #5572.”
