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 Story TomPaine Story: Story The aftermath of September 11th has been a chilling affirmation of the saying just because youre paranoid doesnt mean theyre not out to get you. Many people disregarded the fears of civil libertarians before the attacks, but now that our Justice Department has abandoned the sacred rights of the Constitution and thousands of people have found themselves imprisoned without due process is the land of the free, it has been proved that those fears were warranted. As activists pushed aside their agendas in the wake of September 11th, the forces of intolerance were allowed to grow in power. Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge warned longshoremen on the west coast that they were interfering with the War on Terrorism because they were fighting for a better contract. The White House and its allies in the oil industry used national security as an excuse for drilling in the Arctic in an attempt to trump environmentalists and scientific evidence that domestic oil drilling would be useless. All Americans must stand in solidarity against such a tragedy affecting so many innocent people. But as we grieve, we should never be afraid to stand our ground, and we should never allow our government to exploit national tragedies to stop people from doing the most American thing of all: fighting for peace, justice and security in order to form a more perfect union.
