simply because of a culture ridden with fear of offense to special interest
groups and the destruction of the moral base from which the country's laws
were governed. Splinter factions of idiots and charlatans with nonsense

ideologies and lust for power for power's sake discovered that it was easy to
usurp power from the American citizens as they had grown docile and ignorant.
The forefathers were quite correct in their fear that once the lowest common
denominator of the American society learned how to vote themselves into money
and power the checks and balances of the Great
Nation would fall into an abyss of devolving culture of greed and stagnation,
of welfare and false racism. By the time General Madira was elected as
president of the United States of America our nation had already folded into
something far far inferior to the Great Nation it once was.
"But the Free People of the United States of America understand this, and when
it was clear to us that the oppressive socialists of the Sol System government
would no longer listen to reason, would no longer understand why we lash out
in violent opposition, would no longer even consider us worthy of sending a
true ambassador to the peace summit, we decided it was time for something new.
Something that would change mankind for the better. Indeed something that has
been evolving for centuries. That something is freedom. The Free People of the
United States of America are leaving Sol's System today!
In the greatest Exodus known to the history of mankind and in order for
American law to prevail and the freedom of mankind to flourish, we are
leaving.
We are taking with us those dearly held philosophies that so many Americans
have given their lives for and, to paraphrase a great American president, that
we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this
nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom about a new star and that
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from
the galaxy!
"But finally, I warn you people of Sol's System. Do not try to stop us! We
would have left in peace but you would not have allowed such an Exodus. Your
decomposed government and economic system would lose its middle class workers
and lose its economic tax base. So instead, like our true Great
American brothers that died so bravely in the pursuit and the defense of
liberty, many of us will stay behind and fight you to the very last breath of
the very last one of us so that others may escape this system's tyranny and
the ideal of America shall live elsewhere in the universe! Why should fear,
killing, destruction, displacement, orphaning, and widowing continue to be the
fate of the Separatist People, of the Free People, while security, stability,
and happiness at the expense of the hard working Free People remains the fate
of the corrupt and dark government of this system? This is indeed unfair and
the balance of nature must sway back in our favor. It is time that we help
tilt that balance; it is time
We
, the
Free People, get revenge upon you for the slaughter of our loved ones and our
true heritage. You will be killed just as you kill, and will be bombed just as
you bomb. And expect more that will further distress you and to make certain
that you will not follow after us. The Free People are making their last mark

the Sol System today as we leave. Do not try to find us! Do not try to stop
us! Do not try to bring us back into your evil devolved fold!
"As one last conundrum I give you this. Do you make attempts to stop humans
who only wish to be free from this system or do you try to stop the last of
the Separatist Military from destroying the millions of your people in the
Tharsis regions and great Mons City of Mars? You have only moments to decide."

1:59 PM Mars Tharsis Standard Time
"I am so glad that bitch finally shut the fuck up!" President Alberts pounded
his fist against the Situation
Room table. Wind from his fist flung papers scattering across the long
mahogany table. The Joint Chiefs of Staff traded looks back and forth at each
other in amusement.
"Sir, what are your orders? Mr. President?" The chairman asked.
"What the hell are they planning for Mons City!?" President Alberts had to
think quickly. There was no way to get opinion polls out in time to make a
decision on what to do, so he was going to have to do something that no
president had done in decades or more, make a decision on his own. That
thought literally terrified him.
"Mr. President, the extraction of Senator Moore was obviously a trap and
reports have the entire fleet surrounded and in serious jeopardy from the
engagement," the Secretary of Defense Conner Pallatin reiterated to the
president. What had started out as a rescue mission for a senator and his
family had gone really bad.
"Yes, Conner, I have heard the same reports as you." The Secretary of defense
was really a politician and not a soldier. What did he really know about
dealing with such dire situations? The president and several of his
predecessors had been fighting the war against the Separatists for decades
purely based on political polling data. What could they do to stop this and
was there still a way to salvage the next election for the DNC? The president
was not very certain on either front.
"We need to show strength, Mr. President," the chairman of the Joint Chiefs
said. The Joint Chiefs unanimously agreed. The national security advisor
nodded in agreement as well.
"What will the public think if we go into a full-fledged war against the
Separatists?" the president's press correspondent asked frantically.
"We need to think about how the public will react about us sending troops into
war." Alberts sighed and pushed back in his chair.
"With all due respect sir, we've lost thousands today already. We are a
full-fledged war," the chairman in replied. "The Navy, Army, and Marines have
been in serious combat for decades spread out across the system fighting these
Separatists. We've been at war for a long time."
"I'm sure the president understands this, General," the weasel sec def
responded.
"If it is war they want then give it to them. Drop all the divisions we have
on those fleet ships onto Mons
City and shut down those Seppy bastards. And give the fleet authorization to
go to full subnuclear arms to stop those ships!" President Alberts was proud
of himself and scared out of his wits at the same time.
No president had made such a decision without the knowledge that the public

was behind him or her since . . . well, since Madira. This would be the end of
his legacy. The DNC would excommunicate him from the next convention. He would
be lucky even to get an invitation to view it from a long distance via
satellite a very long distance. In other words, politically, he was fucked . .
. royally.
