Jimmy Carter: “I believe the people of this country are ready to build a new foundation for the 1980's.”

All of us must learn to waste less energy.

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.

Without immediate action, we are at genuine risk of civil conflict and losing our precious democracy.

All of us owe them our gratitude and respect.
