This work in praise of Paine's pamphlet is an effort to bring it closer to today's situation. This project began many years ago and spans the presidential administrations of both of the major political parties in America. There is no favoritism. Believing that each party, along with independents, have all contributed equally to our current oppression (loss of liberty), it is hoped that party lines will be ignored while reading this as the words are meant for all eyes and hearts who subscribe as Americans, pure and simple, to liberty.
