National Aeronautics and Space Administration
THOMAS O. PAINE
NASA Deputy Administrator, January 31-October 8, 1968; NASA Acting Administrator, October 8, 1968-March 21, 1969; NASA Administrator, March 21, 1969-September 15, 1970
Dr. Thomas O. Paine was appointed Deputy Administrator of NASA on January 31, 1968. Upon the retirement of James E. Webb on October 8, 1968, he was named Acting Administrator of NASA. He was nominated as NASA's third Administrator on March 5, 1969, and confirmed by the Senate on March 20, 1969. During his leadership the first seven Apollo manned missions were flown, in which 20 astronauts orbited the earth, 14 traveled to the Moon and four walked upon its surface. Many automated scientific and applications spacecraft were also flown in U.S. and cooperative international programs. Paine resigned from NASA September 15, 1970, to return to the General Electric Co. in New York City as Vice President and Group Executive, Power Generation Group, where he remained until 1976. Paine began his career as a research associate at Stanford University from 1947 to 1949, where he made basic studies of high-temperature alloys and liquid metals in support of naval nuclear reactor programs. He joined the General Electric Research Laboratory in Schenectady, New York, in 1949 as research associate, where he initiated research programs on magnetic and composite materials. In 1951, he transferred to the Meter and Instrument Department, Lynn, Massachusetts, as manager of materials development, and later as laboratory manager. Under Paine's management the laboratory received the 1956 Award for Outstanding Contribution to Industrial Science from the American Association for Advancement of Science for its work in fine-particle magnet development.

Thomas Paine Papers
Col. Richard Gimbel Collection
ca.1692-1921
(176 items, 0.75 linear feet) B P165 American Philosophical Society 105 South Fifth Street * Philadelphia, PA 19106-3386 Table of contents Abstract An important 18th century radical republican theorist and political writer, Thomas Paine was a leading figure in the American Revolution. Despite his humble beginnings and lack of formal education, his reasoned and persuasive writings not only influenced nascent American republican ideology, but profoundly affected the perception of government in England and France as well. His three most influential works are Common Sense The Rights of Man (1791-1792), and The Age of Reason The Richard Gimbel Collection is a heterogeneous mix of items connected only by the fact that they were all collected by Gimbel (1898-1970) and that most were written by, to, or about the revolutionary Paine. Of primary importance are the approximately sixty-five letters or manuscripts in Paine's own hand, including Paine's 1776 manuscript notes for Common Sense , his letter of January 10, 1781, in which he takes leave of his former commanding officer, Nathanael Greene, and his January 6, 1789 letter to Kitty Nicholson Few, in which he writes of his view of matrimony and other personal matters. The collection includes a series of correspondence between Thomas Paine and Samuel Adams, which were originally marked "forgeries," these appear instead simply to be the letters of two men bearing famous names.

http://www.thomaspainecottage.org/

Located on the last two acres of the original 320 given to Thomas Paine by New York State in 1784, you will find Thomas Paine's second cottage (rebuilt after a fire claimed the first one in 1793), and the Sophia Brewster One-Room Schoolhouse . The Thomas Paine Cottage contains a few of the artifacts still in existence that were once owned by Thomas Paine: a simple chair and a cast iron Franklin Stove given to Paine by Benjamin Franklin himself. Several rooms are set up to reflect what life was like during the Revolutionary War and late 18th Century using original artifacts and reproductions. Other rooms reflect early 19th Century life, such as the upstairs bedchamber with its rope trundle bed, nightstand with candle, spectacles and bible, washstand, and young girl's cross-stitch sampler dated 1804. There also you will see some of our wonderful 19th Century quilts.
Other exhibits reflect the Huguenot settlement of New Rochelle such as the original 1689 deed to purchase 6,100 acres that became the city of New Rochelle, and a rare breech loading swivel-gun (a small cannon) used in defending the Huguenot city of La Rochelle during the 1628 siege in France.
A knowledgeable guide will take you on a personal tour of the site's buildings. The guide will answer questions while telling about Thomas Paine's life, colonial life, the Revolutionary War, and a brief history of New Rochelle.

Modern History Sourcebook:
Thomas Paine:
Of the Religion of Deism Compared with the Christian Religion
Every person, of whatever religious denomination he may be, is a DEIST in the first article of his Creed. Deism, from the Latin word Deus, God, is the belief of a God, and this belief is the first article of every man's creed. It is on this article, universally consented to by all mankind, that the Deist builds his church, and here he rests. Whenever we step aside from this article, by mixing it with articles of human invention, we wander into a labyrinth of uncertainty and fable, and become exposed to every kind of imposition by pretenders to revelation. The Persian shows the Zend-Avesta of Zoroaster, the lawgiver of Persia, and calls it the divine law; the Bramin shows the Shaster, revealed, he says, by God to Brama, and given to him out of a cloud; the Jew shows what he calls the law of Moses, given, he says, by God, on the Mount Sinai; the Christian shows a collection of books and epistles, written by nobody knows who, and called the New Testament; and the Mahometan shows the Koran, given, he says, by God to Mahomet: each of these calls itself revealed religion, and the only true Word of God, and this the followers of each profess to believe from the habit of education, and each believes the others are imposed upon. But when the divine gift of reason begins to expand itself in the mind and calls man to reflection, he then reads and contemplates God and His works, and not in the books pretending to be revelation. The creation is the Bible of the true believer in God. Everything in this vast volume inspires him with sublime ideas of the Creator. The little and paltry, and often obscene, tales of the Bible sink into wretchedness when put in comparison with this mighty work.

Thomas Paine was one of the great fiery voices of the American Revolution. Paine emigrated from England to Philadelphia in 1774. Two years later he published Common Sense , a popular pamphlet that argued for complete American independence from Britain. Later that year in his pamphlet The American Crisis he penned his famous line, "These are the times that try men's souls." The revolution won, Paine returned to England in 1787, and in 1791 he published The Rights of Man , which opposed the idea of monarchy and defended the French Revolution. To escape being tried for treason, he fled to Paris, where he wrote The Age of Reason . In 1802 he returned to America, only to find himself outcast and poverty-stricken in his final years.

Although the Thomas Paine Foundation (TPF) began as a separate organization, FSGP has adopted it as a committee. Through TPF, FSGP can conduct special programs. The programs give FSGP a vehicle in which to promote the ideals of Thomas Paine and freethought. The Foundation has been very successful in getting local, national and international recognition. Thomas Paine arrived in America in 1774 at Benjamin Franklin's request. On January 10, 1776, he published Common Sense , a remarkable and powerful republican pamphlet which had an immediate success. He served in the Revolutionary War under General Greene and later in official positions appointed by congress and in the Pennsylvania legislature. In his later publication, Age of Reason, Paine expressed that "all religions are in their nature mild and benign" when not associated with political systems. Paine was the quintessential Deist of the 18th century. Between March 1791 and February 1792 he published numerous editions of his Rights of Man: Part the First and Rights of Man: Part the Second, in which he defended the French Revolution. The words of Thomas Paine inspired many to strive for political, economic and social advancement. He was amoung the first to call for an end to slavery and the establishment of human rights around the world. In appreciation, TPF celebrates the birthday of Thomas Paine on January 29th, a Thomas Paine Day proclamation on June 8 and other Paine theme events during the year. TPF aids in the beautification project for the Thomas Paine National Historical Museum and occasionally visits the three Thomas Paine Elementary Schools located so far.

54. Thomas Paine / Dissertations On First Principles Of Government
Written by thomas paine, July 1795.
http://www.cooperativeindividualism.org/paine_dissertations_on_first_prin.html
Dissertations on First Principles of Government Thomas Paine
There is no subject more interesting to every man than the subject of government. His security, be he rich or poor, and in a great measure his prosperity, are connected therewith; it is therefore his interest as well as his duty to make himself acquainted with its principles, and what the practise ought to be. Every art and science, however imperfectly known at first, has been studied, improved and brought to what we call perfection by the progressive labors of succeeding generations; but the science of government has stood still. No improvement has been made in the principle and scarcely any in the practise till the American Revolution began. In all the countries of Europe (except in France) the same forms and systems that were erected in the remote ages of ignorance still continue, and their antiquity is put in the place of principle; it is forbidden to investigate their orgin, or by what right they exist. If it be asked how has this happened, the answer is easy: they are established on a principle that is false, and they employ their power to prevent detection. Notwithstanding the mystery with which the science of government has been enveloped, for the purpose of enslaving, plundering and imposing upon mankind, it is of all things the least mysterious and the most easy to be understood. The meanest capacity cannot be at a loss, if it begins its inquiries at the right point. Every art and science has some point, or alphabet, at which the study of that art or science begins, and by the assistance of which the progress is facilitated. The same method ought to be observed with respect to the science of government.

Thomas Paine - Libertarian Find out YOUR On October 30, 1802, he landed once more in America. He found that his friends had so managed his property that it would yield him an income of 400 pounds sterling. So he felt quite rich. But what cut him deeply was to find that the reputation he had made as a patriot had been almost forgotten and it was as the author of The Age of Reason he was known. So great was the popular execration of that book that many who would gladly have shown their appreciation of his great services to the country refused to countenance him on account of it. Hooted upon the streets, lampooned in the newspapers, deserted by his political associates, he lived a wretched existence. He was buried on his farm in New Rochelle, but his remains were removed to England in 1819 by William Cobbett. What became of them is unknown.

Thomas Paine and Web 2.0
New Media and Web 2.0 are remaking presidential politics, and I have the evidence to prove it: Senator Hillary Clinton, Governor Mike Huckabee, Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama all took first place in early and important presidential contests... after responding to the Why Tuesday? Candidate Challenge I am not alone on the Trail. Citizen journalists reporting to America's young and old across the country are asking questions and filling the disconnect between the news people want and the news traditional media dishes. And most presidential candidates, but not all of them, understand the role us "backseat bloggers" play. The Candidate Challenge is our group's effort to make the sorry state of our voting system - 139th of 172 countries in voter turnout despite spending billions on our elections - an issue our politicians cannot avoid. Since September , 13 of the 16 candidates have responded to the Challenge , and the vast majority of them agree the system is broken.

Ellis, author (most recently) of His Excellency: George Washington The Times [London] The New Yorker The New York Sun “[A] lovely new biography ... What Nelson does well is capture Paine's blunt, combative style of argument that either inspired or alienated, the sublime self-assurance that struck some as arrogance, the inability to compromise his beliefs that made him a great revolutionary and a lousy politician. How we feel about "Citizen Tom Paine" (as blacklisted Communist Howard Fast dubbed him in a book banned from libraries in the 1950s) depends on what we think the nature and extent of democracy should be.” Public Affairs Jon Meacham, author of American Gospel: God, the Founding Fathers, and the Making of a Nation Isaac Kramnick.

November Coalition Receives Paine Award
To Honor his Name and Achievements On January 16, 1998 the Thomas Paine Society of Pasadena selected Dr. John Beresford, Nora Callahan and Ralph Nader the recipients of the first annual Thomas Paine Awards. The Thomas Paine Awards were instituted to recognize and reward individuals who through their efforts have helped to encourage and inspire freedom, justice and reasoned thinking, principles that Thomas Paine struggled to promote throughout his life and works. Thomas Paine was a man with the resolve to stand by his convictions regardless of public opinion or sentiment. He was among the first to publicly oppose slavery and to write in support of women's rights. Recipients of the Thomas Paine Awards are selected for their courage to stand up for what they believe, in spite of opposition or personal hardship. The annual Thomas Paine Awards are intended to stimulate and renew interest in the works of Thomas Paine and to inspire the ideals of truth and social justice that he fought so hard to advance. Thomas Paine was America's most effective pamphleteer, encouraging the American Revolution with his treatise, Common Sense, the most widely read doctrine of his day. The Thomas Paine Society selected Nora Callahan of The November Coalition, for her tireless effort in the development of the November Coalition website, and newspaper, The Razor Wire. Both these media operate in the true spirit of Thomas Paine by giving the prisoners of America's "Drug War" and voice and a forum.

Mt. Rushmore and a
History of the Estate Tax
by Jim Grote
Reprinted from the June 2000 issue of Planned Giving Today d. It is ironic in a country as devoted to individual liberty and free enterprise as ours that the most ardent promoters of a federal estate tax have been some of our fiercest patriots and richest capitalists: Thomas Paine, Andrew Carnegie, Theodore Roosevelt and Warren Buffet to name a few. Reviewing the thinking of these four men can only add clarity to the current ideological debate over estate tax reform. One might think of these gentlemen as comprising the Mount Rushmore of the estate tax edifice. I emphasize the proponents of the estate tax in this brief history because the burden of proof is clearly on the proponents in the current debate (no one in their right mind wants to pay taxes). Thomas Paine
Thomas Paine wrote the first bestseller in American history: a fiery pamphlet titled Common Sense that successfully encouraged a declaration of independence from England. The 150,000 copies published between January 1776 and July 1776 obviously had the intended effect.
