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 Toward a More Perfect Union: Lessons Learned- Or Not- Since 9/11 After the terrible tragedy on September 11 the world has changed drastically. we went from fighting against one another over political issues to being united against the criminals who committed this heinous crime. People opened their eyes and realized that instead of us fighting amongst each other that we are all together in this country and to stand up together as one. This tragedy caused many people to think negative about our countrys government because of their decisions concerning the incident. The public at first felt that the government reacted way to slowly and allowed the criminals to escape. The government took heavy criticism and now they react without much debate. They are quick to make drastic decisions because they dont want any public backlash. Regardless of what kind of approach the government takes the public will find something to complain about. The government now also worries about our standing as a world power. We were and still are the number one power in the world but we are also seen as being weaker than we were before. Other countries now realize that we are not as invincible as we think we are. Even if they wanted to hurt us, its even more difficult for foreigners to enter our country. The foreign policy of our country since September 11 has become much more strict and many people are not allowed to enter or country. Since the eye opener on September 11 I think we have realized that there is much more important issues than political issues and tax cuts. We have to learn to appreciate the people around us because at any given time those people can be taken away from us.
