Declaration+of+Independence+Kylemp11

Hello, my name is William Williams, I represent Connecticut, I am a merchant, and I am speaking to convince you to sign the Declaration of Independence.

Imagine a child, with no freedom, completely controlled by the parent. Not being able to go out, or spend their money, or stand up for their rights and beliefs. That is like our relation to Great Britain! WE NEED OUR RIGHTS!

You should listen to me because I am a graduate of Harvard, I fought in the French and Indian war, and I served the provincial and state legislature for more than 50 years, during which time I was a member, councilor, and speaker of the house.

Do you really want him not letting us pass our own laws, or forcing us to give up our right to make them? Or how about him making us pay all kinds of taxes without asking or telling us about it, or even sending English soldiers here, when there's no war, AND making us provide them shelter!

I think Napoleon Bonaparte best said it when he said, " Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide."
