A supporter of progressive candidates , he was a fundraiser for Eugene McCarthy in McCarthy 's 1968 bid for the Democratic Party nomination for President . Four years later Sagan supported George McGovern , serving on the Democratic presidential candidate 's national finance committee and being chosen as a delegate from New Jersey for the McGovern ticket at the 1972 Democratic National Convention . His support of McGovern and other left-leaning political causes earned him a spot among the 490 people listed on Richard Nixon 's 1973 Enemies List ; he was included as part of the " List of McGovern Staff Members and campaign contributors " . He told a newspaper that he felt " honored " to be included in two versions of the list , but " was disappointed that I was n't on the last one " . He called his inclusion on the list as his " proudest life moment "
