McGovern, Sept 1970.

We need these words in our congressional chambers now!
Splat!


"Every senator in this chamber is partly responsible for sending 50,000 young Americans to an early grave. This chamber reeks of blood...It does not take any courage at all for a congressman, or a senator, or a president to wrap himself in the flag and say we are staying in Vietnam, because it is not our blood that is being shed. But we are responsible for those young men and their lives and their hopes."
-- Senator George McGovern, Sept 1, 1970
