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 as Americans consider ourselves a moral and just people. Beyond our shores we are perceived as neither. We preach liberty and justice for all. We claim to export democracy and civil rights. Ideologically we export greed and exploitation. Neither is just or moral. Post 9/11, the best long term solution to prevent future attacks is acknowledge that the reason they hate us is because they see what we don t about America. Our stated foreign policies are hypocritical. Human and civil rights are meaningless if economic rights are ignored. If we exercise a truly moral foreign policy where businesses export jobs where respect for workers, their needs, their futures and their nations are considered we have taken one step toward changing the minds of those that hate us. While we export jobs we should export all weve learned and exercise here at home about respect, empowerment and workers rights we will have set an example we can be proud of. If we do not exploit and subjugate foreign workers of American corporations, their subsidiaries and subcontractors and export good jobs with opportunity and respect we will be less ideologically isolated. We will have less to fear and we will have set a true moral example of the highest order. If we learn anything from the horror of 9/11 it should be that we have the opportunity to reverse the hate. The only way to do that is to set the example we preach and export respect for the rights of all workers, not fear and greed.
