It's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the

issues of our day.

America was created a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred.

It was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought

to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.

It was Thomas Paine's common sense written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers

in which Thomas Paine explained by rational principles the reason why these small colonies

felt the necessity to separate from the kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.

He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom

of speech, the ability to select the people who govern them, and he explained it in ways

that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite, because the desire for freedom

is universal, the desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is part of the human

soul.

This is exactly the time which we should consult our history.

Think it, what we've done in the past, and see if we can't use it to help us now.

We understand that our founders created the greatest country in the history of the world.

The greatest democracy of free as country, a country that has taken more people out of

poverty than any country ever.

All of us are so fortunate to be Americans.

But a great deal of the reason for America's constant ability to self-improve is because

we're able to reason, we're able to talk, we're able to analyze, we are able to apply

our God-given common sense.
