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 "Toward A More Perfect Union" I strongly believe 9/11 was a wake up call for all Americans. This showed us how lucky we are to live in a country that gives us the freedom to have the the Bill of Rights and a Constitution. We have greatly learned to appreciate our government even thought we may not always agree with what they do, but in the long run it is for our best interest. We have realized that maybe our differences about how we are allowed to run our lives was a reason for the destruction the terrorists did. Even though our customs are different they thought it was of to punish us the was they did. They way see what we call freedom of religion as a sin to have more than one religion, but who are they to complain. At least everyone in our country is happy and people are not trying to flee our country like many other citizens are fleeing their counties. They may have seen it as they were saving many people from our corrupted country by their actions. By comparing our country to many others we have realized how privileged. We are fortunate to know that we cannot be discriminated for our race of by the way we dress and to have the opportunity to be the person we want to be. With the terrorists attack on America it has given us, the people of the world, a reason to put aside our pity differences and unite to fight against a common enemy. It is just a shame that some thing as tragic as 9/11 had to happen to make us a stronger and prouder country and to open our eyes and see how lucky we truly are.
