Jimmy Carter was my first, and second Presidential vote.
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2023/02/jimmy-carter-was-my-first-and-second.htmlPolitics are a matter of opinion. No President is perfect. As I look back at Carter's administration, I don't see anything there that warrants calling him anything less than a good presidency, and considering its accomplishments and achievements, a great President. After leaving office, he dedicated his life to helping others. His work and contributions to Habitat for Humanity characterizes his challenge to his Sunday school class attendees to make their life count by giving someone else a hand up. The work that has been done around the world through the Carter Center, which he established, and which he has financially supported, characterizes the man well beyond his political roles as Governor of Georgia and President of the United States.
Thank you, President Carter for all you have done, and for the example you have set. We love you.

Well said. He is beloved by any decent person who knows his story and deeds.
