We are small, but getting started. There are three of us Kossacks now attempting to rewrite Thomas Paine's founding call to action, Common Sense. Scary, but not surprising, there are many points made by Mr. Paine that don't need to be changed. Their King's name was George. He disregarded the will of the people. He thought he knew better than everyone.
But like so many of us here, we resemble Thomas Paine. A hardworking individual (printer), just an average guy. He was sick and tired of George's tyranny and he wrote his pamphlet, which caught on like wild fire! It was debated in taverns and meeting halls throughout the nascent country we all know and love (despite the gutting of all we hold dear by our current administration).
So we are rewriting it. We will publish/post our 2006 call to action (if not necessarily arms) just as Paine did. We have had enough of this Imperial Presidency.
Here's a link to the original http:www//ushistory.org/paine/commonsense/.
We need 3 more writers for each of us to have a section. Read my previous posts for some backstory/where I got the idea - this is all I've ever diaried about.
