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 "Union United" Was it a wake up call? Was it a get your business together? Many people try to concentrate on what else might happen in the future or what the president will say or do next. The issues that were on the news daily before sept. 11, are coming back very slowly. Most of those issues have to do with the president ignoring them. Yesterdays problems are yesterdays problems and today's problems are tomorrows worries. According to many people, Sept. 11 was a wake up call. They said that America is a free country and we have been taking our privileges for granted for such a long time. Also that many americans wait for such a tragic begining to be able to appreciate their country. Other people understand the meaning of Land of the Free, which means that hundreds of young men and older men risked their life's for their family and friends, so that they wouldnt be prisoners like in some third world countries. Many other people have clubs, organizations, and funds to help others understand the value their country has. When foreigners come to live in America, they know that they dont have to follow a day to day routine exactly as their leader. Many of those foreigners go through a lot just to be free. To me many Americans are to judge mental on how their free country is being run. They should always think twice before they talk bad about America because this is the country they have lived and given us so man rights. I personally didnt think it was a wake up, because my life really didnt change of how I saw America. I somehow in a way was angry of how many people out of a sudden started going to church and started praying.
