Zoom Call Rules For The Signing Of The Declaration Of Independence
Thomas Jefferson sent a WhatAp to remind the guys of the rules to follow…
From: Jefferson, Thomas
To: #Dec of Indy Congress
07/03/1776
Subject: Ye ZOOM CALL RULES for ye signing Declaration of Independence (#DECofIND)
Ye guys
Sadly, the Cathay Plaque means we cannot meet f-2-f so the #DECofIND will need to be signed virtually. I can’t tolerate delay, as everyone will be off for the long holiday weekend and I want this on the front pages of their news sheets.
THIS MEETING WILL BE RECORDED.
It is vital that ye all understand this: Assuming we are not all slaughtered in our beds by Redcoats before the end of next week, this is going to be big news, not only here, but this is the ‘Zoom that will be heard around the world’: So, we need to get it right.
Sorry that some of this is a bit personal, but seriously, ye guys, people are going to be talking about this for a long time: And as Louis XVI said to me recently: “Ye only get one chance to make ye first impression.”
· Clean-shaven, clean shirt and fresh periwig please, and that means ALL of ye.
