## Resource

Through no fault of any of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, some signers are better known than others. Some are familiar household names while others are a bit more obscure. One of the lesser-known signers is the subject of our chat this week. Abraham Clark was a lawyer from New Jersey who signed the Declaration but also served two terms in the United States House of Representatives. To shed more light on the life and career of Abraham Clark, and the personal sacrifices he made in defense of freedom, we are delighted to welcome Gary Porter as our special guest. Gary is a long-time friend of Constituting America and Executive Director of the Constitution Leadership Initiative.
