The document and those people created our history. Its history must not be bent, twisted, censored or banned to fit the ideological story. As emphasized in "The 56", if our history is bad, blame it and learn from it. If you like it, admire it and build on it. But don't twist, censor, or cancel shared American history.

This is a timid totalitarian act of fearing people, as Jefferson emphasized almost 250 years ago.
Still, the left and far left dominate most of the media, academia, entertainment, science, and medicine ... who is trying to stop them?
We.
As emphasized in my book, each of us still instills the lessons of freedom inherited from those who have taken their lives to sign the Declaration of Independence. I can.

I was involved in the project for my book. One of the editors called it "a modern version of 'CommonSense' by Thomas Paine."

Exactly, and only , because of the warning against the overwhelming tyranny in it, "common sense" is proportional to our country It has become the biggest bestseller I have ever known. With a population of about 2.5 million at that time, the small paperback book sold about 500,000 copies. This is equivalent to today's 70 million copies .
At the age of 37, poor and struggling Pain found his benefactor atBenjamin Franklinand moved from London to Philadelphia. Poor and farthest from the upper crust of the colony, Pain was an extraordinary writer. He was a poor man and a working class man.

And Pain screamed with a desperate warning, so his words to the choking tyranny at the time were , From one settler to the next.
