McMM - original button from George McGovern's presidential campaign. McMM refers to a comment in McGovern's acceptance speech that regarding Nixon's "secret money' from the rich that was funneling into this campaign. McGovern's position was that he'd rather have a million average citizens contribute $25 each - of course that didn't work out well for McGovern since he lost the election to Nixon.
Historical Notes
From McGovern's Democratic Nomination Acceptance Speech:
"Let the opposition collect their $10 million in secret money from the privileged few and let us find one million ordinary Americans who will contribute $25 each to this campaign, a Million Member Club with members who will not expect special favors for themselves but a better land for us all."
