About Common Sense For America

ABOUT COMMON SENSE FOR AMERICA: Common Sense For America (CSFA) unites history and facts to inspire non-partisan, common-sense solutions to America’s biggest challenges. Founded on the principles of Common Sense (Thomas Paine, 1776) and a deep appreciation for history, Bruce Rutherford—political commentator and educator—analyzes U.S. history, national budgets, and global affairs, breaking them down into clear, transparent insights for everyday Americans. Paine’s Common Sense argued that concentrated political power—whether in a monarchy or an elite ruling class—undermines democracy. In that spirit, CSFA champions government accountability, transparency, and true representation of the people. Follow our podcast and join the pack of patriots for thought-provoking discussions.
