Statesmen Literature Discussions


We had a great discussion on "Common Sense". One question that was raised was "What can we do to effect change?" At times it can seem like we can't make a difference especially on the Federal level.

But we can make a difference. It starts in our own communities as we help lift each other and band together. And don't forget to vote today!!

Our next discussion will not be held till January 28th at 7:30. We will be discussing "The Crisis" by Thomas Paine...just the first one, but feel free to read them all.

You can read it at http://www.ushistory.org/PAINE/crisis/c-01.htm.

Statesmen Literature Discussions

On Sept. 24th we will be discussing Thoreau's work "Walking". You can find it at http://www.ecotopia.org/ehof/thoreau/walking.html. It is written in red so I would recommend copying and pasting it into a word doc.

Remember, this discussion will be open to all family members.
