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 The dreadful attacks on the US have been seized by the Bush administration to provide a defining mission that otherwise would be missing. The socalled ""War on Terrorism"" is broadly defined so as to justify many different actions , both domestically and abroad, by Bush and his followers. The rights of citizens are being abridged or threatened. A foolish war against Iraq continues to be posed by Bushniks in power. And the murder of US innocents is used as an excuse to ignore more basic issues at home, like the lack of universal health care (the US is the only advanced industrialized country that does not base access to care upon medical need, just ability to pay), corporate corruption, and economic uncertainty. The large increases in defense spending will not have the economically stimulative effect of other kinds of spending, which tends to cycle more of the spending throughout other parts of the economy. Lastly, the specter of fear and loathing that the Bushniks have created serves to distract us from the intellectual emptiness of an administration whose main accomplishment has been to pass a tax cut which will mostly benefit the wealthiest 1% and neglect the rest of us. And the circumstances whereby this unelected President has been foisted upon us by a Republican-dominated Supreme Court in a penultimate act of lawlessness are of course beyond comment in the society which Bush has led us to.
