And on 19 June 1792, Thomas Jefferson wrote to Thomas Paine – whose extraordinary life we have written about here – that Paine should ‘Go on then in doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword.’ Meaning, when the sword is smaller than the pen it will break the sword. Labor not for war, but fight with the pen by voting this evil and evil doers out!! 'The pen is mightier than the sword'.
