Chapter 9

The Glowing Light of Democracy

            “Congratulations, Mr. PRESDIENT.” Victor Romos said happily to the new president of their secession government.

            “Victor, I don’t deserve any congratulations. The people who deserve the congratulations are the people of these states. These people now have the opportunity to create a pure country. Free of the tyrannical control of the Republican Party.”

            “Yes the people sir. But while we’re on the subject of the people, do you plan on making a plea to the United Nations for support? Maybe a plea to some other “democratic” countries that could give us aid in the possibility of a civil war?”

            “You know it’s funny that you should mention that. I have thought about doing that very thing. I think that I should go and give the speech, but I have already laid out plans for New York Governor, Henry Killings, to become the ambassador to the UN, if they are to recognize us as a sovereign nation.” The former lieutenant governor looked very pleased to hear these words come out the new president’s mouth.

            “He is the perfect choice for the position of ambassador. He has the experience, since he was the US ambassador to the UN for 3 years before becoming governor of New York. He would fill that position with the kind of experience, and expertise that no other person, we could hire, could bring for our country.”

            “Of course he’s the perfect candidate. I wouldn’t have selected him if he wasn’t.” The two men walked down the hallways of the capitol building. They were headed for the governor’s, now presidential, office. They continued walking the halls until finally there it was. The new office of the President of California.

            The room was decorated like never before. Banners were hung from the ceilings exclaiming the name of the new president and his new country. Flower baskets had been sent from congressmen, governors, even the ordinary citizens. All of the baskets had the same message, “Thank You for leading us out of the strangle hold of the tyrannical Republican government, and leading us into the glowing light of democracy.”
