"They will answer for their negligence and they should not be allowed to guard a high-ranking member of government again."

NEWS 28 - After a bombing the destroyed a major portion of the Nationalist House, States across the country stepped up and are doing their part of help the Nation heal. But why does it take a severe incident such as this to bring them together? Shouldn't they be willing to help each other out?

Sometimes it feels like we will never know the answer to these questions. All we know for sure is that these Governors have stepped up to support not only New Shire State, but President McCallum, Vice President Banks, Governor Cooke and Lt. Governor Micheal Wendtz.

A Nation came together to support all of these people and the State that they generally would've never considered helping. A rare bombing of one of Jesstopia's most prominent buildings was semi-destroyed, and yet a bond like no other was formed.

"It is truely amazing to see other state's stepping up to defend New Shire and our Nation," said Residents of New Shire. "We are grateful for the support we've received from other states, and we can't wait to bring the suspect(s) to justice."

State Governors from around the Nation have even expressed appreciation for President McCallum's leadership during the event that is once in a life time.

"President McCallum continues to show great leadership while we face an unprecedented event, that I never thought that I would ever have to see," said Gov. Paul. "It is a truely humbling experience as it gives insight into the little things that don't matter. Political parties are just things, humans are much more than that, and this proves vital for what occurred today."

Cooke thanked Paul and said that it would need money to increase the length of full time coverage by New Shire Law Enforcement at major Jesstopian Government facilities.

"The destruction caused to our founding nation's executive residence is unacceptable and worries me that society is moving towards all our chaos."
