Mr. Thomson, is the Declaration ready to be signed? It is. Then I suggest we do so. And...
Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Hancock:
Mr. Thomson, is the Declaration ready to be signed?
Charles Thomson:
It is.
Hancock:
Then I suggest we do so. And the chair further proposes, for our mutual security and protection, that no man be allowed to sit in this Congress without attaching his name to it.
John Dickinson:
I'm sorry, Mr. President. I cannot, in good conscience, sign such a document. I will never stop hoping for our eventual reconciliation with England, but... because, in my own way, I regard America no less than does Mr. Adams, I will join the army and fight in her defense, even though I believe that fight to be hopeless.
