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 We owe this country big time. Now we must be more vigilant in protecting our priceless freedom. We are facing realities we have not yet encountered, and we have nowhere else to go. We must be commmitted, not merely involved. It can be explained like a plate of ham and eggs. The ham (pig) is committed, while the egg (chicken) is merely involved. There is a sense of continuity that stretches throughout our country, like a work in progress, like a beacon, to the rest of the world. We are THE living example to a watching world. Our strength likes in our interbreeding, our melting pot, our many cultures. If push comes to shove will we lay our lives and the lives of our citizens on the line, to protect our way of life? This question must be answered. Maybe we will just have to learn to handle it better. Liberty, taken literally, is the right to choose, and we choose to start to heal up the American way of life. We must give our time, money and the inconvenience required. We need an Alpha Dog. In a war, when a Marine officer is killed, they do not look to the next officer in line to command. They look to the one who takes command immediately, whoever is the first. This is the Alpha Dog. We need an Alpha Dog.!
