From military spending so wasteful that it weakens our nation, come home, America.

From the entrenchment of special privileges in tax favoritism; from the waste of idle lands to the joy of useful labor; from the prejudice based on race and sex; from the loneliness of the aging poor and the despair of the neglected sick: come home, America.

Come home to the affirmation that we have a dream. Come home to the conviction that we can move our country forward.

• From a Speech in 1972, quoted in The Genius of McGovern’s ‘Come Home, America’ Vision, The Nation, by John Nichols (19 October 2012)
