Start of speech.

(que Irish accent ) Hello everyone my name is Matthew Thornton, I am representing the colony of New Hampshire, I come here as a humble physician to talk to you about signiging this historic document that seperates us from england, the Declaration of Independence. As a child growing up in Ireland I was always taught that no one could take away your rights and we as a new country should NOT let the british take away are rights just because they are stronger then us. I became a physician in 1745 to New Hampshire troop and many years later I became president of the New Hampshire house of representatives and a appointed supreme judge to this new country so I assure you I am quite capable in the matters at hand. One of the most irratating grievances that I find demoralizing is that king george picked his own judges so that they would always agree with him, also he has imposed taxes that he didn't even ask us about, the last thing that really angers me is that the king won't even let us have a jury for a trial, only a judge. As a doctor I can diagonose that this country need to stand up for a rights for life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness..
