We Support McGovern
Some Reasons Why

Senator McGovern has publicly opposed every
feature of the Rogers Plan. He has fought "all
pressure upon Israel to withdraw prematurely
and unconditionally." lie has insisted that "there
can be no peace until the Arab states agree to
new and recognized boundary lines capable of
deterring any further aggression." He has urged
that Jerusalem "remain unified under Israeli
administration." And he has declared: "Israel
was created as a Jewish state. As a result, it
cannot accept a large hostile population in its
midst."
3) The Nixon Administration has repeatedly
sought to tie American aid to Israel with ap-
propriations for Vietnam.
Senator McGovern has consistently distin-
guished between the evil war in Indochina and
the just cause of Israel. Warning against the
growth of isolationism, he has declared: "We
cannot permit our revulsion against the war in
Indochina to distort our judgment about Amer-
ica's responsibilities elsewhere in the world."

We'd like to tell you why we are supporting
George McGovern for the Presidency of the
United States.

For Peace, Jobs, Freedom

There is the issue of peace in Vietnam. Under

Richard Nixon, 20,000 more Americans have
died in Indochina. The billions that should have
gone into housing, hospitals, and schools, into
cleaning the air and water, have gone instead
to make a rubble out of Indochina.

There is the issue of inflation and unemploy-
ment. Under Richard Nixon, food prices are up

17%, medical care 21%, housing 21%, clothing
12%. Unemployment is up 60%—from 3 million
to over 5 million.
There is the issue of taxes. Richard Nixon has
promoted tax loopholes which benefit big busi-
ness and the upper 2% of the income ladder.
Nixon's loopholes are costing average taxpayers

$80 billion over the next 10 years.
There is the issue of education. Richard

Nixon vetoed aid-to-education bill three times
in two years, calling such programs "the kind of
big spending that is wrong for all the American
people."
There is the issue of the Supreme Court. Un-
der Richard Nixon, nominations to our highest
court—the great protector of our liberties—have
been the worst in U.S. history. Nixon nominated
Clement Ilaynesworth, and G. Harrold Carswell
for positions once so honorably held by Gold-
berg • Frankfurter and Cardozo.
There is the issue of Soviet Jewry. Richard
Nixon has never spoken out publicly on the plight
of the USSR's 3 million Jews. At a time of crisis
for Soviet Jewry, he is proposing to grant the
Kremlin most-favored-nation status in its trade
dealings with our country.

McGovern and Nixon
on Israel—A Comparison

George McGovern has helped lead the Senate
fight for funds and political support in behalf
of Soviet Jews since 1963. He has condemned
the huge ransom charges imposed by the Soviet
Union on Jews seeking to emigrate and called
on the President to withhold trade concessions
to the USSR until the Soviets abandon their slave-
tax—and cease their arming of Arab terrorists.
Israel has become an issue in this campaign
--and ne deplore this fact.
13tit the question has been raised, and it is
necessary to put it to rest:
1) As President, Richard Nixon placed a
moratorium on the delivery of desperately needed
Phantom jets to Israel. Only after an enormous
Soviet military build-up in Egypt did he lift this
ban early in I972—an election year.

Our Country Needs
George McGovern

As Senator, George McGovern played a key
role in Congressional efforts to reverse Nixon's
arms ban against Israel. Ile condemned "the
Administration's decision to withhold the sale
of the jets Israel has requested" and urged the
President to sell Israel Phantom jets "without
further delay."
2) Richard Nixon's Secretary of Slate, William
Rogers, has called for Israel withdrawal from
virtually all the occupied areas. The "Rogers
I'lan" also proposes joint Israel-Jordanian rule
of Jerusalem and gives Arab refugees the right
to choose between repatriation in Israel or re-
settlement elsewhere. As Secretary Rogers an-
nounced n t a Washington news conference on
August 11, 1972, this plan remains U.S. policy in
the Middle East.

To confront all these issues, our country needs
the leadership of George McGovern. We trust
him for his openness and candor. We admire
him for his courage and determination. And we
will vote for him because he has been right—
right about the things that matter most to all
of us.
We do not beliesIe there is a monolithic "Jew-
ish vote" Traditionally, however, most Jews
have voted for candidates and parties that repre-
sented not special privilece but all the people.
They have been or the side of those who chose
life. who pursued Justice, who followed the path

of peace.
Senator George 11SicGovern is that kind of man,
We urge N'011 to Ran us in helping to elect him
the next President of the United States.

The men and women who have signed this
statement have done so out of personal convic-
tion, as individuals, in support of Senator George
McGovern
