“From secrecy and deception in high places-come home, America.<\/p>\n
From military spending so wasteful that it weakens our nation-<\/p>\n
come home, America.\u00a0 From the entrenchment of special privilege<\/p>\n
and tax favoritism – come home, America. From the waste of idle hands<\/p>\n
to the joy of useful labor- come home, America. From the prejudice<\/p>\n
of race and sex- come home, America. From the loneliness of the aging<\/p>\n
poor and the despair\u00a0 of the neglected sick come home, America.<\/p>\n
Come home to the affirmation that we have a dream. Come home to<\/p>\n
the conviction that we can move our country forward. Come home<\/p>\n
to the belief that we can seek a newer world. May God grant the wisdom<\/p>\n
to cherish this good land, to meet the great challenge that beckons us<\/p>\n
home”.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 George McGovern<\/p>\n
Spoken at the 1972 Democratic national convention which he won.<\/p>\n
He was defeated by the incumbent president Richard Nixon, a pity, as Nixon\u00a0 resigned in disgrace two years later.\u00a0 \u00a0 Islander.<\/p>\n
