Original text

At a time like the present—when this country is threatened with economic collapse under the burden of supporting millions of nonproductive citizens, and the heavier burden of the parasites-on-parasitism: the welfare-state bureaucracy—a new campaign is being sneaked up on us, softly, tentatively, but insistently: a campaign to load us with the responsibility of feeding the whole world.

Notes

Starting the quote in the middle of the original must be indicated by writing ‘[A] new campaign’ instead of “A new campaign”. One could also use an ellipsis: ‘. . . a new campaign’. Technically, the quote is all caps, but I’ve used regular case here to make them comparable.
