Common Sense received a 2012 MarCom Award Honorable Mention for print design.MarCom judges are industry professionals who look for companies and individuals whose talents exceed a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry.

Why Common Sense?In January of 1776, Thomas Paine published Common Sense, a 48-page

monograph explaining why the colonies should separate from Great Britain

and become an independent nation. It was an immediate best seller, and

swayed a nation in which only a minority of the population supported

independence. Its arguments were echoed months later in the Declaration of

Independence. It should be noted that Common Sense was edited and titled

by Benjamin Rush, the most prominent American physician of the colonial

era and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

The American Academy of Emergency Medicine was founded in 1993, and one issue of the Academy’s newsletter was

published that year. It was named Common Sense, both to honor Thomas Paine and because of the similarities AAEM

founders saw in AAEM’s founding compared with American independence from Great Britain.
