.G McG was my first Presidential vote.

There was a fantastic, massive rally for him in NYC attended by Labor Unions, and others. I took photos of it. 👍

I chose George McGovern for my username because I voted wholeheartedly for him for president. Broke my heart when he lost. I consider Mr. McGovern the greatest president who never was. JFK was the greatest of all.

Thank You
