NOTE TO VIEWER:

When this site originated in 2003, typing the words, "Thomas Paine" association, into Google yielded 5,780 entries. By 2006, Google returned 507,000. Many entries have no interest in Paine other than how the name profits their business, so you'll be lucky to learn much from them.

If Paine and his work are what you seek, some groups interested in him and seeing him recognized as the patriot and founder he was are:

1.  Thomas Paine National Historical Association  TPNHA, the oldest Paine organization in the United States, with considerable information at its site and around the net
