Common Sense for Today

Ordinary citizens can do extraordinary things when we use common sense and work together as Americans. Our local communities are the vital centers where we build our lives, raise our families, and ultimately build our nation. Common Sense for Today calls on each of us to stand together in our home towns, not as liberals or conservatives, not as one ethnic group or another, but as Americans. This book takes the reader back to the roots of our freedom with overviews of Thomas Paine s Common Sense and our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. It then calls on each of us to be active patriots in preserving and passing on the legacy of freedom that has made our country one of the greatest in the world. Together, we can use Common Sense for Today to not just watch the news but band with our fellow citizens to help make the news.
