| Rep. von Fallersleben shared Rep. Tanaka's reservations | |
| regarding the Namenian contingency, but hoped the | |
| over-zealousness on the part of the Namenian guards was merely a | |
| mark of uncouthness rather than more sinister intentions. | |

| OOC: I don't know if this page is relevant any more as WP isn't | |
| going to talk about why he brought this together. Unless someone | |
| else wants to speak? | |

| OOC: You realize that's NCSA troops, right? Junkers dispatched | |
| guards to here. | |
| And I believe Gondor or I will speak. | |
| IC: The Namenian rep went and sat down in his place as the | |
| Secretary of Defense took his seat by the President. | |

| OOC: Home Guard makes it sound like they were Namenian elite | |
| forces, instead of NCSA soldiers. | |
| IC: Rep. Tanaka shows no objections to letting Rep. Spoke have | |
| the floor. | |

| OOC: It's actually on the NCSA factbook page here. :P | |
| IC: "I am completely open to what he has to say first." Ascrith | |
| replied, and sat down. | |

| "Thank you, good sirs. Now as most of y'all here understand" he | |
| said while getting up into the front to speak. "There has been | |
| some chaos in this confederacy that has caused concern. Caused | |
| people to call us rogue, which is exactly what I would expect | |
| from such people! And those exact same people have taken our | |
| governor into custody! Arrested! For a revolt he didn't cause! | |
| But a revolt I am sure he would stand for now because he surely | |
| will see the things that have been done. He was one of the many | |
| that stood for peace unless our grounds were invaded, and our | |
| grounds were invaded. The man who started this war, "Foti", has | |
| talked to us and claimed that your federal officers approached | |
| his property! That federal officers then tried to detain him for | |
| protecting something that is rightfully his! Not the | |
| confederacies, not the state's. His property is his! And the | |
| state of Columbia is ours not yours to keep. Now I demand the | |
| release of Governor Grant Preston, and a safe return home. At | |
| age 81, he can not be detained in a cell, treated like dirt, and | |
| not be given a fair chance! But to all you who stand here today, | |
| our Senate Board will not stand for any of the things y'all have | |
| stood for. There are talks of secession. Now those talks of | |
| secession are merely like those of talks of war. Just as we | |
| wanted peace, but brought you war due to your actions, we will | |
| bring you secession, even if we wish to keep this union | |
| together. But we will not stand by and watch this nation hand | |
| liberties and state rights over day by day!" | |

| Baroness Honey Baroda stood from her seat. | |
| "Can this Congress please explain why Confederal agents were | |
| doing in Columbia. Did they have a warrant? What was their | |
| purpose? | |
| "Colombia Representative, did your nation invite these agents | |
| into your state? | |

| "No we did not, in fact our soldiers asked them to step away | |
| from the border and step off of others properties. When they | |
| came to close and threatened our soldiers, they fired and killed | |
| one many before all of them were shot to death by federal | |
| officers who clearly don't know their boundaries! So y'all don't | |
| write us down as the villains in the history books quite yet | |
| because I think it'll require some mirror starin' to figure that | |
| out." | |

| The President stood up, and walked up to his podium in front of | |
| the Congress. He took a sip of water, and then cleared his | |
| throat. | |
| "First of all, let it be known that I did not order the CBI into | |
| Colombia. They were sent there by presumably the Secretary of | |
| Defense to investigate Colmbia's highly illegal noncompliance | |
| with NeoConfederate law. Colombia did issue warnings, yes, but | |
| it was clear that those were not heeded. A warrant probably | |
| would've helped our case, but once again we we're not the ones | |
| who broke the law first. Nullification is not a right, but a | |
| crime. To be clear on the reason of Governor Preston's arrest, | |
| let us look back on the meeting in Turkducken. I met with him to | |
| discuss peace, but little did we know what had happened in | |
| Jericho. When we found out what had happened, Turkducken | |
| President Lance Faraday and I pleaded with Governor Preston to | |
| stand his troops down, as they had fired the first shots. | |
| Governor Preston did no such thing, and left, allowing this | |
| conflict to continue, with us sending reinforcements to help get | |
| those men out of there. Governor Preston was not arrested by us, | |
| but by Turkducken. I believe that he should be released until | |
| such time that a proper warrant can be found. His crime is | |
| treason for allowing and supporting this rebellion. If Colombia | |
| wants to secede, they will get cold lead and burning fire from | |
| the rest of us. This union will stay together, one way or | |
| another." | |
