First some history for my blogger friend.


The copy of the Articles in the U.S. National Archives has a series of signatures on page six. The signing of the Articles was a process that has caused some confusion. The Articles were approved for distribution to the states, on November 15, 1777. A copy was made for each state and one was kept by the Congress. The copies sent to the states for ratification were unsigned, and a cover letter had only the signatures of Henry Laurens and Charles Thomson, who were the President and Secretary to the Congress.
But, the Articles at that time were unsigned, and the date was blank. Congress began the signing process by examining their copy of the Articles on June 27, 1778. They ordered a final copy prepared (the one in the National Archives), and that delegates should inform the secretary of their authority for ratification.
On July 9, 1778 the prepared copy was ready. They dated it, and began to sign. They also requested each of the remaining states to notify its delegation when ratification was completed. On that date, delegates present from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina signed the articles to indicate that their states had ratified. New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland could not, since their states had not ratified. North Carolina and Georgia also didn't sign that day, since their delegations were absent.
After the first signing, some delegates signed at the next meeting they attended. For example, John Wentworth of New Hampshire added his name on August 8. John Penn was the first of North Carolina's delegates to arrive (on July 10), and the delegation signed the Articles on July 21, 1778.
The other states had to wait until they ratified the Articles, and notified their Congressional delegation. Georgia signed on July 24, New Jersey on November 26, and Delaware on February 12, 1779. After a wait of two years, Maryland ratified, and her delegates signed the Articles on March 1, 1781. The articles were finally in force.
Congress had debated the Articles for over a year and a half, and the ratification process had taken nearly three and a half years. Many participants in the original debates were no longer delegates, and some of the signers had only recently arrived. The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union were signed by a group of men who were never present in the Congress at the same time.
The signers and the states they represented were:
New Hampshire: Josiah Bartlett and John Wentworth Jr. Massachusetts Bay: John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Elbridge Gerry, Francis Dana, James Lovell, and Samuel Holten Rhode Island and Providence Plantations: William Ellery, Henry Marchant, and John Collins Connecticut: Roger Sherman, Samuel Huntington, Oliver Wolcott, Titus Hosmer, and Andrew Adams New York: James Duane, Francis Lewis, William Duer, and Gouverneur Morris New Jersey: John Witherspoon and Nathaniel Scudder Pennsylvania: Robert Morris, Daniel Roberdeau, Jonathan Bayard Smith, William Clingan, and Joseph Reed Delaware: Thomas McKean, John Dickinson, and Nicholas Van Dyke Maryland: John Hanson and Daniel Carroll Virginia: Richard Henry Lee, John Banister, Thomas Adams, John Harvie, and Francis Lightfoot Lee North Carolina: John Penn, Cornelius Harnett, and John Williams South Carolina: Henry Laurens, Will Henry Drayton, John Mathews, Richard Hutson, and Thomas Heyward Jr. Georgia: John Walton, Edward Telfair, and Edward Langworthy

Second my ability to type. I have none. I hunt and peck as best I can. Trying to work The Mavis Beacon thing but....time....

As to cut and paste nature of my Blog...Actually blog is a misnomer. I use the space to get info from show out to listeners..Phone numbers, addresses, short article I have read. My own thoughts...for the most part I save those for the show.

My accent...it amazes me how "tolerant" liberals are!
I wonder if their Grandfather was the same guy who belittled immigrants from Italy, Japan or Poland?

The obsession with my name: I legally changed my last name to Jericho when I became an American Citizen. For the safety of my family I did not publicize this. Given the ranting of the lunatics you can understand why I would be cautious and protective of my family.

Also just so you know I thought it disengenuine of me to use a name that was not my own. Given what I stand for I made the decision to change my name 1-year before arriving in Springfield but I had to wait for my citizenship to be approved before I could do it.

Bottom line if we have the nut cases this worried then you know our message is resonating and we are having an impact.

Don't be concerned by these people, they are rather amusing.

Oh I do not block any comments unless they are libelous or could be hurtful..like posting someone's address etc. You see I believe in personal responsibility and accountability. It's my blog and I am responsible for everything on it.

Oh.. Oh... one last thing: unlike most of my "friends" I blog and post everywhere under my own name. I don't hide behind no name a misname or "anonymous"

sEE YA ON THE RADIO!
