Jimmy Carter: “Now is the time for us to work together, to recognize that we have a common problem, a common challenge.”

We share a belief that the church was to no way be confused with a political community, no bound to any political system.

All of us must learn to waste less energy.

Carter says the animosity directed at the president over health care, the big bailouts, is being driven because Mr. Obama is a black man.

Our great nation now teeters on the brink of a widening abyss. Without immediate action, we are at genuine risk of civil conflict and losing our precious democracy.
