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.

I told them to go back and tell those generals in Saigon that Lyndon Johnson intends to stand by our word, but by God, I want something for my money.

And then I want ‘em to leave me alone, because I’ve got some bigger things to do right here at home.”
