Thomas
Valente Dead.

1950-2009
In another twist to this War the
Secretary of Homeland Security was pulled out of the rubble of the
Federal building yesterday, and was pronounced dead on the scene.
Valente was a major player in the rebuilding of America after the
September attacks, and was brought on by President Tomarchio to continue
the duties of the Secretary of Homeland Security. Valente was supposed
to be at the Presidents Address to the Nation on September of 2006, but
was asked by the president to meet with Foriegn leaders in Europe. When
Valente heard what had happened he quickly returned Stateside, and
helped to pull some form of government together. He worked with Jennings
and Rall in trying to rebuild infastructure, and Hired Ravenwood to
help out with patroling FEMA camps while he and others contacted
military bases to mobilize troops. He was also the one who got most of
the factions that split back into one government, except for Texas and
the Eastern United States. Thomas Valente, Dead at the age of 59.
Quasiballistic Missiles Fired at Texas
In an attempt to show its fire
power the Allied States fired five Quasiballistic missiles
at Texas targets. The goal was to show there is firepower inside the
Allied States of America. Until recently most of the Texas attacks have
gone without response, with the Allied States working more on diplomacy
than warfare. The five missiles did hit their target, and no lives were
taken in the process. Meanwhile, there was an emergency Security Council
meeting at the UN today, working on a resolution that would condemn the
United States and Texas for their aggression on the Allied States.
Great Britain and Germany have been unwilling to lay blame on the US, or
Texas, but are beeing urged by Russia, France, and Spain to do so.
China has also been unwilling to send troops over, but has called for
the United States and Texas to pull out of the Allied States. Great
Britain and Germany both have veto powers if any resolution is passed.
John Williams
Dead.
Leader of the Terrorist group Underground
Coalition was killed today while in combat. This is big for the Allied
States, because that gives us the advantage to hopefully disband the
terrorist group. The terrorist group, which has been funded by Texas and
the United States had attacked Kansas, and moved its way attacking
California, and Colorado. Tomarchio who received word early this morning
was pleased with the progress of the soldiers on the ground. Tomarchio
has also stated that he hopes those involved with the Terror group will
understand terrorism will not be tolerated, and when asked if there were
any that would be willing to give up, "We would gladly work something
out, If people are willing to turn themselves in we will provide full
amnesty to those who go through a rehabilitation program. I feel as if
they were misguided by a man who was also misguided, and in these times
it is hard to really know the truth."
Update on Explosion in Cheyenne
It now appears that the explosion was an
attack on the Federal building, and we now know that there are 50 people
trapped inside. Among those is Thomas Valente, the Secretary of
Homeland Security. He was in a briefing with intelligence officials when
the attack took place. We are unaware if there are any dead.
Explosion in Cheyenne
There Has been an explosion at a Federal
building. It appears to have been a gas leak, but will still be
investigated. There are people inside the building, but we are unsure as
of who. Emergency personnel are at the scene.
Tomarchio To
Return Stateside on Wednesday
President Tomarchio has been busy talking
with foreign officials in trying to get aid. Along the way he talked
with European citizens, where he holds a 82% approval rating, much
higher than it is here, where it is 62%. Still Tomarchio feels as if his
business is unfinished. "I will be heading back to Europe in two weeks,
to rally the european countries behind us, but right now I am needed at
home."
The
UN to Provide 5,000 Troops, and $1.8 Billion in Aid
The UN has
agreed to send troops over to help with the insurgency in western
Kansas. They have also approved 1.8 billion dollars in aid to help with
rebuilding and to help pay for the training of new military personnel.
A Major Terrorist Dead

The AIA is reporting to us that
one of the masterminds of the attacks in Western Kansas is indeed dead.
The man is known as Penn. He is the third in command of the Underground
Coalition, and was key in almost all of their operations. ASA forces are
still on the lookout for others in the Kansas area.
Terror Attack Update:
It is rumored that
they have the terrorists cornered near the Colorado Border, but because
the area is without power, and has no towers contact with the soldiers
have been lost. Tomarchio has continued to make bold statements when it
comes to these terrorists, calling for their heads, and offering
$1,000,000 that leads to the arrest of John Williams the Leader of the
new movement.
Recruitment Numbers at Record High
In the day that will live on in history books,
Recruitment to the armed forced has increased dramatically. Lines
wrapped around buildings for most of the day in many recruiting offices
around the country forcing many recruiters to miss lunch. There has been
an outcry of support for the government, and many believe the
Underground Coalition should be attacked no matter where they are. One
man at a recruiting center gave us his thoughts. "This is America. For
too long we waited in silence for our government to give us help, and as
they get started a small few decide to become anarchists. It is one
thing to voice your displeasure, but to attack a few soldiers who were
on a peace mission in the middle of the night? Come on, be a real man. I
cant wait to defend my country." many shared his sentiment, and cannot
wait to defend their country from terrorists.
ATTACK!
(AP)
April 2, 2009 1:18AM
It is currently being reported that five checkpoints
outside of Jericho, Kansas have been ambushed. There is no word of who
the attackers are, or where they came from. This is the first major
attack on ASA soldiers, and it comes as the soldiers had set up
checkpoints for heightened security after the New Bern War. The
checkpoints were set up because of the tensions in the area, and were
meant to keep peace in the area.
10:48 am
First image of one of the ambushes.
It is being reported that the terrorist
group Underground Coalition as being a co-conspirator in this attack. It
appears that there are casualties, with the latest being 50 dead and
another 75 wounded in the attacks. President Tomarchio made a statement
on hearing of the attacks. "We must not ignore this threat that is
against us These cowards attacked a group of fine men in our armed
forces, and we will not stand for it. These men were on a peace keeping
mission and the attack brought havoc among the area. I will make this
clear to the group held responsible. We will find you. We will not
falter, and we will not fail. We are a strong nation, and you will soon
realize you have awaken a monster when we bring havoc to your door."
Delegates
Pass New Bill of Rights.
Delegates passed the Bill of Rights with a vote of 38-3.
For the most part the bill of rights remain the same, but there are
minor changes. These changes will not affect day to day life.
Days
Away From Completed Constitution
After much debate it appears that the
delegates are ready to vote on the much anticipated constitution. The
constitution needs 28 of the 41 votes to pass. however it appears it
will pass with a much higher majority.
President
for Life?
News is
coming out of Cheyenne that the 41 delegates are pondering getting rid
of term limits. Jared Farwell one of the Colorado delegates said, "We
need a strong leader to lead us in the future. President Tomarchio Has
showed that he could lead us, and it would be a shame for him to leave
office with unfinished business. That is why many of us believe term
limits need to be taken out. It took FDR more than eight years to get us
out of a economic crisis. It will definitely take more to rebuild a
nation." If this does indeed pass it will mark a turn for America.
President Tomarchio after hearing of the possibility of repealing the
ammendment was hesitent but did make a comment concerning the
possibility; "I would not force the American public to have me as their
president for more than eight years, but am honored at the same time. If
the American people want me as their president for life I am willing to
lead."
Constitution Near Completion
The draft of the constitution is
near completion and the 41 Delegates are to vote on it next week. After
receiving word President Tomarchio stated, "This is a huge
accomplishment, and should be celebrated. The American people have stood
still while we put ourselves back together. I will make it my goal
while President to make sure we never face an event like the September
attacks again."
Robert Hawkins and Mystery Man Dead.
As many of you
are aware The ASA Government has been tracking the terrorist Robert
Hawkins. He was seen with a mystery man getting on a plane and heading
south toward the Independent Republic of Texas. Unaware of their
intentions the ASA military scrambled two F-15 Eagles two intercept the
plane. After giving warning to descend and be escorted to a local base.
The pilot of the Cessna jet refused, and after multiple warnings was
shot down. The government is saying that Robert Hawkins was one of the
insiders that helped N. Korea and Iran get the bombs into the United
States, and was plotting another attack on Cheyenne. President Tomarchio
released a statement after hearing the news. "America is safer today
with the death of Robert Hawkins. The Families of those lost in the
September attacks can rest a little easier knowing this man can cause no
more harm."
Hudson River Virus
As we are sure it has come to
your attention, a virus known as the Hudson River Valley Virus (HRVV) or
Hudson River Virus (HRV) has spread through much of the eastern United
States. It has been confirmed to be fatal to some of those who have
gotten it. With the message, whose authenticity has been confirmed by
President Tomarchio and the Administration in Cheyenne, we wish to quell
any fears that the citizens of this great nation may have. As we have
confirmed, United Nations Peacekeepers have worked vigorously on their
side of the Blue Line, as well as Allied States of America Troops in
cooperation, to stop the spread of HRV. We can confirm to you all that
the virus has been STOPPED at the blue line. No cases have been found
anywhere within A.S.A borders, and this moment, our doctors and
virologists are closing in on a cure. Any rumor that there have been
cases within this nation are without base, but if one should feel the
need to report a possible case, please contact your nearest J&R
associate. We can assure any possible outbreak will be handled swiftly
by our Ravenwood employees.
Thank you
for your understanding and God bless the Allied States of America
