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 Did Gary Condit have anything to do with the disappearance of Chandra Levy? The tax cuts, the education bill, social security, the rising costs of prescription drugs, whatever happened to all these issues that had us on the edge of our seats? The media had us consumed with both important and irrelavent issues, but yet, people watched. All these issues were americas agenda. Then, on 9-11, americas agenda was abruptly interrupted indeed. The evil acts that took place on that day hit us all like a ton of bricks! We all just watched on television as our nations twin towers as well as our pride was struck by filthy reprobates! New Yorks skyline has, irreparably, been damaged. Thousands of our innocent neighbors were killed and our spirits bruised. Then after all the smoke clears and the dust settles, America now has a new agenda. Now, all the while, those issues that were so important before 9-11 have become obsolete. So what ever did happen with the disappearance of Ms. Levy? She was found dead and that was the end of that. I wonder if all other issues not pertaining to the 9-11 attacks will ever be as important as they used to be? One thing I do know is that, yes our agenda was interrupted and it probably will be again, but understandably so. I do think that it is sad that it took something of this magnitude to get our mind off of money issues and what not and on to things a lot more important such as our nations well being. But at least now we have an understanding for what it means to be an American. Agenda interrupted (9-11) has made a huge impact in our lives in more ways than one.
