Lead or Leave (also known as Lead... or Leave) was an American grassroots political action group from 1992 to 1995 focused primarily on reducing the deficit. Led by Rob Nelson and Jonathan Cowan, it focused on recruiting young members. This "mini-movement" became so prominent, it was featured in several newsweeklies and papers and created a stir in "MTV-DC" during the Clinton era.

“Events, actions arise, that must be sung, that will sing themselves. Who can doubt, that poetry will revive and lead in a new age, as the star in the constellation Harp, which now flames in our zenith, astronomers announce, shall one day be the pole- star for a thousand years?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“O night,
you take the petals
of the roses in your hand,
but leave the stark core
of the rose
to perish on the branch.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
