Jimmy Carter's Email for Hillary

[ehrnst]

During my 1976 presidential run, a young woman moved to Indianapolis to help turn out the Indiana vote for me. Forty years later, I will proudly cast my vote for that same woman to be the next President of the United States.

Hillary is going to need more than just my vote, though. She’s got to keep building a campaign that can beat Trump soundly, and that takes resources. Chip in $5 to make sure her team raises $10 million by the FEC deadline on August 31st.

I’ve known Hillary for decades — and her record as a public servant is superb. In 1977, I appointed her to the board of the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), a nonprofit that provides legal assistance to Americans in need — she went on to become the first woman to chair the board. Over her tenure, funding for the LSC tripled, allowing the organization to expand legal aid to every congressional district, and handle 1.5 million cases for poor clients each year. As First Lady, Clinton continued to advocate for legal services funding.

That’s a special thing about Hillary — when there’s a job worth doing, she doesn’t abandon it. Work she did decades ago, like founding Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families or helping start the Children’s Health Insurance program, is still changing lives today. Her entire career has been a fight for progress, and as our president, she’ll make sure we’re on the cutting edge of civil rights, economic justice, climate change, and more. She is the only candidate prepared to take us into the future.

We owe it to ourselves to make her our next Commander-in-Chief. Donate now to make sure real American values are protected for generations to come.

13. $5? I donated for 50 of us then.

It's but a small donation, but can only help assure she can spread the democratic message far and wide.

14. If I could have dinner with the person of my choice, worldwide,

I'd pick Jimmy. I'd love to sit down to dinner in Plains with Jimmy and Rosalynn and hear the stories he hasn't told. What an amazing and transcendent man. The fact that America turned him out of office for Ronnie Raygun still sickens me. I believe that was the turning point in this country when things went off the rails.

18. I agree heartily with every single word you said there.

Perhaps they could make room for two? I would be content, just to sit and listen.

24. Me, too!

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I did not vote for him in 1980 - I voted for John Anderson.
In retrospect I realize that President Carter had many issues to deal with in his term and he was politically handicapped - didn't have the "DC savvy" or staff to deal with things in a successful political way.
However, I don't think we've EVER had a more honorable, noble, respectful person serve in that office - and I'd SO love the chance to change my vote, especially considering what "the winner" did to our country.
Thank you, President Carter, and I hope your legacy will show what a wonderful, considerate, sincere American you are!

25. What this helps bring forward is the reminder of who Hillary actually IS.

And NOT what the years of CON-schemed character assassination that WAY too many people have bought into. Including WAY WAY too many of the good guys we've known for years. They've done a fucking hatchet job on her. To the extent that now the talk among the chattering class is how hard she'll be to trust, as President. They're fucking up her Presidency ALREADY. Deliberately.

It's just astonishing. Why the need seems so damn great to diminish and demean a woman who's devoted her life to public service - both in office and outside of it, both high profile and low profile. So the overall effect is to hobble her efforts and prevent her from working for the greater good - including the greater good even of the bad guys. What they don't get is how her exhaustive efforts, practical problem-solving, and innovative thinking will benefit THEM as well. Sometimes I swear it almost seems like nobody gets that. WHY is there such a need to mess her up and get in her way and prevent her from doing what we are all going to need for her to do - to help solve ALL OUR PROBLEMS and address ALL OUR ISSUES, or as many as she can.

I don't get it.

It's so damn counter-productive. And blindingly stupid.

It's just fucking INFURIATING.
