Dear King George,

I am a colonist from New Jersey. You are a wonderful king.  Except for one thing: Writs of Assistance. I can take taxes, but not Writs of Assistance.

Here’s why. In mine and many other colonists minds, it is an invasion of privacy.

Let me explain. We may be working in our shops and we hear a knock on the door. We answer it politely. However, instead of “ Can we please come in?” we get “Sit! Be quiet! Move out of the way!” We don’t even get an explanation! They don’t even have a warrant! In England you need a warrant. Why can’t it be the same here?

Please take this into consideration.

Your loyal subject,
