Title A name given to the resource TomPaine.com Stories Description An account of the resource TomPaine.com -- a liberal advocacy organization -- distributed a public call on August 12, 2002 for 300 word "opinion advertisement" similar to those that the organization had been running regularly in the op-ed page of The New York Times. TomPaine.com received hundreds of submissions from the public, most of which the September 11 Digital Archive has preserved here. TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story September 11, 2001 was a tragic event that will remain in the minds and hearts of many for various reasons. Our nation to this day is still in shock on how the so-called most dominant country in the world could receive a blow of this magnitude. After this catastrophic event took place, our government seemed to be at a stand still for a long period of time. It was like as if they were just as surprised as the American people. After things seem to clear up, that is when our so-called invincible government began to take action. Now all of a sudden our leaders are placing an abundant amount of attention towards national security, when they should have been doing that in the first place. I feel that it took something like a terrorists attack to knock the United States off of it s high horse and for our democracy to begin to notice that maybe we are not as feared as we thought we were. On the other hand, the people of this great nation found a way to unite and function as one even when our government seemed to have no answers for what was going on. When I opened my eyes all I could see was unity among the American people and this was just about the only thing that seemed to benefit our country because before this the people of this nation seemed to be only about themselves. Im not going to say that Im glad September 11, 2001 took place but, to be optimistic I must say that it has gathered the people along with myself to notice that without each other this country can no longer be as prosperous as it has ever been.
