Jimmy Carter: “Every person has the right to live a life free from fear and oppression.”

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.

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

His goal is to live to vote for Kamala Harris and see her elected president.

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