We can't depend on the Democrats ... They got there and betrayed the grass roots that put them there

Briefly, the scientists working the Oregon coast found that sand could be controlled only by the use of one type of grass (European beach grass) and by a system of follow-up plantings with other growth. The grass sets up a beachhead by holding down the sand in an intricate lacing of roots. This permits certain other plants to gain a foothold. The beach grass is extremely difficult to grow in nursuries, and part of the solution to the dune problem involved working out a system for propagating and handling the grass.

[A] fellow from Texas can tell the difference between grass-roots and AstroTurf.

[M]aybe the strings break, or maybe our ships sink, or maybe we're grass—our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters. If you choose the strings, then you're imagining a world in which you can become irreparably broken. If you choose the grass, you're saying that we are all infinitely interconnected, that we can use these root systems not only to understand one another but to become one another. The metaphors have implications.
John Green
In our presence of 2,700 years in Iran, Jews have never betrayed Iran and our roots are so deep that they cannot be cut off.
Maurice Motamed
If Heaven does not completely abandon this land of the Gods, there must be an uprising of grass-roots heroes.
