Jimmy Carter: “I think that some control over these costs is imperative.”

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.

There's only one chance and one life to count for something. And my faith tells me, or my faith demands, that I use whatever I have whenever I can, to make a difference in people's lives.

I fear for our democracy.

All of us owe them our gratitude and respect.
