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 ONE NATION...UNDER... . . . Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence has always been the nations most cherished symbol of liberty and a monument to the author. In the Declaration Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts of an American people who had won the struggle to be free. The political philosophy of the Declaration was not new; its ideals of individual liberty had already been expressed many times over by Continental philosophers. Thomas Jefferson merely summed it all up for us in the words ""self evident truths."" Jefferson then set forth a list of grievances against the King as he sought to justify before the world the formal breaking of ties between the colonies and the mother country . . . Today I pay tribute to Democrat Thomas Jefferson, the nations 3rd president and author of the most beautiful words ever written . . . fraught with a meaning and passion for liberty that have all but been erased by freedom-busting legislation proposed by the swaggering-strutting-illiterate-draft- dodging-war mongering- Jesus -freak-Texan- alcoholic-cowboy , George W. Bush, who aided by his Supreme gang --without firing a shot rode into Washington, D. C. in the year 2001, stealing the presidential election. This civil rights encroacher has tried to reap political gains through the September 11 tragedy that befell Mr. Jefferson's America, gloating in the fact that he had ""hit the big trifecta."" . . . UNTIL WE ARE FREED FROM THOSE WHO HAVE MOCKED OUR CONSTITUTION, ARE LIBERATED FROM ALIGNMENT WITH MURDEROUS NATIONS AND ARE LOOSED FROM EVILS WHO ARE FORCING US TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR LIBERTIES A PERFECT UNION WILL ELUDE US.
