On this day in 1775, British troops marched to Lexington, Massachusetts, to capture Samuel Adams and John Hancock. The first shots marked the start of the American Revolution. 
Samuel Adams was a Member of the Continental Congress and within weeks Hancock would become one. Both risked threats of capture, imprisonment and execution. Our congressional leaders today are too selfish even to meet.
There’s plenty of room in the US House snd Senate chambers for members to speak and vote while social distancing. The leaders among our federal lawmakers are cowards.
