......."it is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace²but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"http://www.history.org/almanack/life/politics/giveme.cfm

Though Blum has taken pains to deny it, reports say he's worth at least $1 billion. According to a recent Roll Call survey, Feinstein's net worth is $45.3 million, which puts her in the top tier of wealthy Washington lawmakers.Jul 16, 2015`````````````````````````
