In response to the first post, I find it suiting for me and people of my status to respond by taking the initiative to help Revolutionary#1 in his endeavors. I feel that as a creole, I have more resources at my disposal to help accomplish our goals. As the peninsulares lose focus, our class can most easily take advantage of their weakening power and work to reform our government to a republic. A group of creoles and I have decided to organize a revolt against the peninsulares of Venezuela. Simon Bolivar, who has made a name for himself in leading these revolts, is on his way here. His beliefs about government are ideal, in that he believes in the social contract, natural rights, and a unified Latin America not the absolute rule of an imperial leader. We wish that with his influence and leadership, Venezuela along with the rest of Latin America can be led to independence.
