COMMON SENSE FOR SUDAN

This document is a call to stand against a government that is “laying a country desolate with Fire and Sword, declaring War against the natural rights of all Mankind, and extirpating the defenders thereof from the Face of the Earth.”  (All quotes in bold in this text are from Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, published anonymously on January 10, 1776.) It is a call to regime change in Sudan.  It is a recognition that any government that kills its own citizens has no legitimacy to rule over them, as President Barack Obama recently stated about Syria.[i]  Certainly 3 million Sudanese lives over 23 years demands an equal statement to 9000 Syrian lives over twelve months. This call to action is based on a time in American history, before the American Revolution for freedom and liberty, when a man named Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet named “Common Sense.”[ii]
