=== Hi I am John Adams and my colony is from Massachusetts. I graduated from Harvard and I am a lawyer. Today I am going to tell you why you should sign the Declaration of Independence. I signed the Declaration of Independence because I didn't want someone to always tell me what I can and can not do. I am my own person and I don't want someone telling me no that's not right. This is similar to what Great Britain is doing to us. They are not allowing us to do what we please and they are controlling us. === === You should trust me, I was one of five chosen to represent the Massachusetts colony at the First Continental Congress in 1774. I was elected the first vice president in 1789 and in 1796 I became president. I offered a resolution of Declaration of Independence from Great Britan in May of 1776. Shortly after that, Congress appointed me ambassador of France in 1779. I had no grievances because I liked the way that Thomas Jefferson wrote the document. Those are reasons why I am here today to try to convice you to sign the Declaration of Independence. Do you want to live life the way someone else wants you to live it, by controlling it, and making all your decisions for you, or do you want to live life the way you want to and live life up to your potentials? ===

My favorite quote is "In many years I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress."
