Common Sense for the 21st Century: A Call To Protect Our Nation's Future

“The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.”[i] These powerful words were written by Thomas Paine in 1776 in his pamphlet, Common Sense. This 42-page booklet aimed to unite the American colonists in their quest for independence from British rule. Paine’s pamphlet came at a crucial moment when the colonists began to doubt whether the fight for independence was worth the cost. His words served as a rallying cry, convincing the colonists that independence was not only necessary but achievable. Paine’s strong criticism of the English monarchy and his call for freedom inspired many and shifted public opinion firmly toward the idea of self-governance. WE ARE THE PRODUCT of what happened in 1776. We must continually work on our democratic republic to preserve it.
