Let me first say this is truly a great day for the Pacific. We were the first region to create a constitution and hopefully we will be the first of the deficit ridden states to pull out of it.

With that being said I hereby sign this first bill of the Pacific Regional Legislature into law.

X Governor Michael R. L. Wildcard
