Common Sense, by Thomas Paine

See larger image

Common Sense
Addressed to the Inhabitants of America, on the Following Interesting Subjects, viz.: I. Of the Origin and Design of Government in General, with Concise Remarks on the English Constitution. II. Of Monarchy and Hereditary Succession. III. Thoughts on the Present State of American Affairs. IV. Of the Present Ability of America, with some Miscellaneous Reflections

By Thomas Paine

"It was Thomas Paine's pen, through his pamphlet Common Sense, which motivated thousands of colonists to join the rebel army to fight for the cause of liberty against their British Cousins. In a nation of three million, more than 500,000 copies of the 40-page pamphlet were printed. That would be the modern day equivalent today of about half of all voters watching the same 30-minute documentary calling on them to overthrow their government -- and most of them supporting the idea."

-- Brad Fitch, in the Introduction to the Media Relations Handbook
