      The United States Declaration of Independence was actually inspired and influenced by the widespread publication and circulation of pamphlets of "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine! Before the widespread circulation of "Common Sense", there were no Revolutionary patriots who openly advocated American Independence from British Empire! I just don't know why Thomas Paine is not considered as one of the Founders of the United States!

    Some people feel tears are a sign of weakness. Though my signatory ancestor was not mentioned verbally, to see his name actually signed so humbly small brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. I hope somehow he still knows his lineage still lives on to this day flowing proudly through my veins. Please, next time you see a tattoo “56” no matter how small I guarantee you , no matter how small it may be , it is most likely NOT someone’s ex boyfriend’s high school foot ball number.
