A Referendum to Abolish the Department of Boating and Waterways

BE IT ENACTED BY THE STATE OF FIRESTONE CONGRESS HERE ASSEMBLED
THAT:


PREAMBLE:

Congressmen, I ask you today to fairly evaluate all the evidence that you are
about to see, and fully comprehend the atrocities that have been committed by this
department, it’s leadership, and the lack of a plan for the future of the aforementioned.

I. This department has consistently made brash and overreaching statements that
appear extremely unprofessional, and are blatant abuses of power.
A. Evidence:

II. Additionally, the department has lacked a clear sense of direction other than just
recruiting new members, something that was made very clear to me after speaking
with FDoBW Secretary Ash1835 and Deputy Secretary Pondzery. They were not
able to come up with a definitive answer during the entirety of our hour-long talk.
A. Evidence:

III. Furthermore, the department has been historically unable to prove it’s worth in our
Government, which is backed up by the 4 Secretaries the department has been
through in the past 9 months No Secretary has been successfully able to turn the
department into something that has a purpose or potential in our state, and that
same legacy has continued to this day. Let us end this constant cycle of
confirmations, and finally do something about this issue.
