1. Hold fast

   A hold fast is an accessory used on a woodworking workbench to fix a workpiece to the top or side of the bench while it is being worked. A hold fast is shaped like a shepherd's hook. In use, the shank fits loosely into a hole in the top or side of the bench and the tip of the hook is pressed against the work. The hold fast is set by rapping the top with a mallet, which causes the shaft to wedge against the sides of the hole. It is released by hitting the back side. A holdfast is also a plinth or pedestal, usually of concrete, to which an anti-aircraft or coastal battery gun was fitted. Holdfasts are often the only evidence for a weapon that survives.

   If liberty is worth keeping and free representative government worth saving, we must stand for all American fundamentals—not some, but all.

If one American fundamental is prostrated, others in the end will surely fall.
