The estates general must not be a stage for empty ceremony, but a true assembly where the voice of the Third Estate shapes the future of France. Reform delayed is injustice!

The Third Estate works from dawn to dusk, yet they still pay more for a loaf or bread than we do. If the King ignores the hunger of his people, he will not find royalty in them.

Estates general summoned at last after over 175 years. Every estate had 1 vote even though the third estate takes up 97% of the population. Again the king finds ways to tax the poor trying to make it seem fair. We demand vote by head, not estate. Debt crisis requires fairness for all!

Debts are crushing France, poor harvests, doubled bread prices, The nobles are dodging taxes while the third estate is starving. King Louis must tax all estates fairly or France will fall. We need to call the estates-general immidiately.

This is why as King of France, I declare our support for the American independence from the brits as well as their full backing with financial and Militarial aid from the French. This is our declaration of war against the British. (2/2)

I support the American Revolution, but we shall be carefull not to bring down France's economy in the process.
