Author's Note-Hey, another in the news post today. This story relates to the big State of the Union speech that will be occurring tonight.

Many of the nation's academics argued that the last time that the last time in America's history that the nation had been so divided was the period of the Civil War. America had a hard time believing that but unfortunately he couldn't come up with any alternatives. Through most of his history America had been united by a common goal, whether it was discovery or war or grand national projects.
At the moment it seemed that the only thing all of his states had in common was the love of arguing with each other. The Senate seemed to be in perpetual deadlock, Congress was worse, and the Executive Branch had repeatedly stated that compromise was not an option. The primarily city dwelling democratic states showed little sympathy for their republican more rural counterparts. The red states were just as spiteful blocking blue initiatives every opportunity they got. America was sick and tired of the constant conflict.
It seemed like the President of the United States was also concerned about the current state of the nation. The vast majority of America's were becoming tired of the political stand still that there nation was stuck in and were become disappointed in their leader's performance. The President hoped to combat the fear and apathy spread across the country by getting the country involved with the nation's most important speech of the year, The State of the Union.
The White House was trying to encourage the entire nation to get online, watch the speech and use technology to have a national conversation about the best ways for the nation to move forward. America thought it would be a wonderful opportunities for all of his states to finally discuss their goals and differences. The nation decided the best forum would be the Twitter debates, as the character limits would force each state to focus on the issues that most affected them.
In theory it was a brilliant idea. In practice it was rapidly turning into a disaster. Many of heavily democratic states instantly signed on and began to post their opinions…which were that all of the nation's issues would go away if the republican's disappeared. This caused a number of the most republican states to boycott the process, stating that their voices were not going to be respected. Most middle ground states such as California , Florida, and even Texas hadn't even bothered answering is email invitation. America was starting to get a bit desperate.
"So can I at least expect you to participate in the Twitter debates?" America was practically begging Virginia for her help.
"Of course not." Virginia's musical laugh rang out across the phone line. "I have tickets to the actual event. I can always participate in the endless debate later, but I want to see the actual speech in person."
And, of course, America couldn't argue with that.
End Note-Well what did you think? Are you going to participate in the twitter debates tonight?
