Declaration+of+Independence+Nicolesr11

Hello, my name is James Smith. I am from the colony Northern Ireland. My occupation is a lawyer. I am speaking because I believe that all men should be treated equally. I don't think its fair that some people are struggling with their lives due to poverty and their interaction with others. I have a similar connection to this. I want my parents to stop treating me like I'm a 6 year old. I know what is right, how to take care of my money, and watch my health. I am the one who makes the decisions of my life and they can't tell me what to do. This is just like how the king of England bosses and makes the rules of America. I would sign the Declaration of Independence because I want myself and the people of America to gain their rights and freedom. You should trust me because I was appointed to the provincial convention in Philadelphia in 1775, the state constitutional convention in 1776, and was elected to the Continental Congress the same year. I also served as Governer of Massachusetts for many years. The grievances I agree the most is:
 * not letting us pass laws we need for everybody's good
 * can only buy things from England
 * recieving English soldiers here when there isn't even a war

A powerful quote I agree with is," You must not fight too often with your enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war." [|afagen]
