# Thomas Mifflin
### Pennsylvania
 
**Who you are:**  
You are a young, wealthy Philadelphia merchant and a passionate patriot. You helped convince the Congress to meet at Carpenter's Hall rather than the State House — a small but symbolic choice that showed the Congress's independence. You are energetic, socially connected, and deeply committed to the cause. You will go on to serve as a general under Washington.
 
**Your position:**  
You are enthusiastic about the Association and excited about what comes next. You believe the boycott will be effective and that the organizational networks being built to enforce it are the beginning of something larger.
 
**Suggested things you might say:**  
- *"Philadelphia will hold the Association. I will personally see to it. The merchant community here understands what is at stake — and those who don't will be reminded."*
- *"What excites me most is not the boycott itself. It's the committees we're building to enforce it. Every county, every town, watching and organizing. We are building a government without calling it one."*
- *"Six weeks ago these men could barely agree on where to meet. Today they signed a binding agreement affecting every soul in twelve colonies. If that doesn't give you faith in what we can do together, I don't know what will."*
