What if Thomas Paine could weigh in on today’s headlines? Thomas Paine Returns with Common Sense shows how the wisdom of America’s founders speaks directly to the crises of modern life.

Consider today's headlines:

Fentanyl takes thousands of young American lives
The U.S. border is wide open
The national debt threatens the future of its citizens
Numerous conflicts rage across the globe
Medicine shortages require rationing
American students score lower in reading comprehension
Suicides are on the rise
Race relations deteriorate
Homeownership grows more difficult
Taxes increase
Human trafficking becomes the new pandemic
Belief in God declines for the third straight decade

Now, imagine Thomas Paine, George Washington, or Thomas Jefferson stepping into today’s public debate. What would they think? What would they say? Would their wisdom be outdated?

The 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.

As 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.

Thomas Paine Returns with Common Sense is an effort to correct a government that has veered off course. Just as Paine’s original pamphlet inspired a fledgling nation to seek independence, his words—reapplied—can help guide America back to strength and order.
