Common Sense for a New Century by Howard Dean, MD

Gov. Howard Dean's modern answer to the great pamphleteer and American, Thomas Paine
EXCERPT:
Over two hundred years ago, Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet that would light the fire that forged our nation. He called it “Common Sense.” Passed from hand to hand, patriot to patriot, it was a call to action for those Americans who believed their government had to change. It spelled out the values of a new republic. And King George III—who had forgotten his own people in favor of special interests—was replaced by a government of, by and for the people. America was born.
