If it must, "Let it begin here."

                   "Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to
                                                      have a war,  let it begin here"

         Capt. John Parker to the Minutemen assembled on Lexington Green. April 19 1775.

                         " When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the
                                       government  fears the people, there is Liberty. " 
                                                               Thomas Jefferson

"The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with

the blood of Patriots and tyrants."

Thomas Jefferson
