I believe this is the longest thread I’ve started, by far. Hope you’re all well and enjoying life. My thoughts go out to those that are suffering.

Another one of those phrases attributed to a speaker or speakers, but for which no authoritative citation exists.

Except that explanation is the modern day spin by NPR (Nancy Pelosi Radio). While talking about the taxation imposed by the Pennsylvania Assembly, Franklin was in fact speaking about broader rights. Google isn’t always your friend.
There’s always an arse**le who needs to politicize everything. Sigh!

The description I have provided is consistent with many sources, including biographies of Franklin.
If you have a credible citation to a legitimate historical source which is contrary I am interested. But I have no interest in the politicized biased self-serving claims of a commentator/entertainer, etc.

It was not I who drew the first politized spin to try and rewrite history. For anyone to state what Benjamin Franklin meant by his words, is in fact substituting their own thought and biases. Unless you have a source that identifies what he said regarding his writings, you are introducing a bias.
The phrase was part of Ben Franklin’s Reply to the Governor, 11 November 1755. Franklin was part of a committee of the Pennsylvania’s Assembly with the task of responding to Pennsylvania’s Governor’s urging the Assembly to pass a militia law and provide funds for defense following Indian attacks at Penn’s Creek and other places.
You will note that the letter is between Franklin as a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly and Pennsylvania’s governor. It was not “part of an American delegation sent to Britain in an attempt to resolve the outstanding disagreements between the Crown and the colonies” as the article you cite claims. (Note the lack of any citation to any authority or reference in the article you cited.)
Here are Ben Franklin’s words in their entirety.
