Hello, my name is Stephen Hopkins of Rhode Island, I am a lawer and a Speaker of the Rhode Island assembley and I'm speaking to persuade you to sign the Declaration of Independence.

For years the Red Coats have taken our money, food, and shelter because they think they're bigger and stronger than us just because were a smaller and newer country than Great Britain. It's like having your father telling you what to eat and to do chores and work for 6 hours a day and all the money goes to your father. Now do you get what I am saying.

Trust me, I was educated to be a lawyer so I should know the difference between fair and unfair. I have lots of credibility because I spoke out against British tyranny long before the Revolutionary period, so I have a huge hatred for the Redcoats and so should you.

There are more reasons than you think why you should sign the Declaration of Independence.

King George has put taxes on us without representation.

He's been sending soldiers over seas without our permission.

The Redcoats come into our homes unwelcome and are taking our food, water and shelter.

The British have been cutting off trade routes with other countries from us.

And, his soldiers have injured and even killed citizen in the colonies in the Boston Massacare.

I think of this whole mess embaressing for us to be pushed around like that from the British, I say we declare seperation from great Britain. It's like what Benjamin Franklin said, "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have,nor they deserve, either one." Lets fight against the Brithish for liberty, life, and the pursuit of happiness.
