Hi my name is Benjamin Franklin I am from the colony of Masscusetts, my occupation is a scientist, publisher, and printer. I have published a magazine called the Poor Richards Almanac. Many people have read my magazine. Many people have written to me and told me that they are very unhappy with the King. They think we should be free. We are not even allowed to buy items from anywhere else but England. We should be able to purchase things from anywhere we want to. We have to pay high taxes and don't get to say that it isn't fair. I am signing the Declaration of Independence to make changes for us. I want us to have our freedom to make our own laws.

From the words of Tom Paine, "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." If there is going to be a war, then let it happen now so my children will grow up in freedom.
