Founders Corner: Thomas Paine

Take a minute out of your day to learn a little something, and 


for us fighting for liberty, get a little inspiration from one of 


our forefathers. While I don't agree with everything that 


Thomas Paine ever said/did, he played an integral part in our 


Revolution. His "Common Sense" was a major source of 


inspiration and encouragement for those fighting for liberty all 


those many years ago. Where would we be without him?

"Let the names of Whig and Tory be extinct; and let none other be heard among us, than those of a good citizen, an open and resolute friend, and a virtuous supporter of the RIGHTS of MANKIND, and of the FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES OF AMERICA."
