What would they think? What would they say? Would their wisdom be outdated? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe answers are clearer than one might expect. Their writings remain astonishingly relevant--so much so that, with a few updated details, their words could be mistaken for modern political commentary. Their insights, once foundational to this nation's birth, still offer guidance in times of crisis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the Constitution--more than 250 years old--remains the bedrock of this government, the principles of its architects should not be ignored. In times of struggle, great institutions must return to their fundamentals. When a major league hitter falls into a slump, his coach brings him back to the basics to restore his swing. America is in a slump. Few would argue otherwise. The solution? A return to the principles, structure, and foundation that once made this nation great. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThomas Paine Returns with Common Sense\u003c\/i\u003e is an effort to correct a government that has veered off course.
