45. MIra, "Jimmy Carter is a treasure".

Tue Mar 25, 2014, 12:01 PM

Mar 2014

His wife, former First Lady, Rosalynn is a remarkable woman. We should also listen to selected wise, mature (hate that "old" tag) women like her.

Let US not forget President Carter earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his efforts. It gives me great comfort that I cast my vote for someone who shared my dreams of renewable energy, peace and justice.

They deserve recognition beyond a lame email or tweet. President Carter still uses snail mail. Time for me to drag out the dusty gift of colonial williamsburg stationary for a special thank you note. If you feel so inclined, please send your best wishes to a remarkable couple.
