“Around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take on those bedrock freedoms. Cutting Social Security that you’ve paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy. Dictating what health care decisions women can make, banning books and telling people who they can love. All while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote.” -- President Joe Biden

Letter to the Brenham Banner-Press remembering Jimmy Carter by George Dillingham


January 9 was dedicated as National Day of Mourning for former President Jimmy Carter.

Throughout his long life, Jimmy Carter always conducted himself with high moral and ethical standards and maintained a steadfast commitment to human rights and true Christian values. He made a promise to never lie to the American people after the corruption and deceit of Richard Nixon in the Watergate scandal.
​
January 9 could also be a day of mourning for the loss of ethical and moral standards by many Americans.

In the 2024 election, voters chose a very flawed man in Donald Trump who represents an extraordinary contrast to Jimmy Carter. President-elect Trump has constantly used misinformation and outright lies to the American people in order to deceive voters and promote his own self-interest.

Those of us who are old enough to remember the disgrace of Watergate and the reforms of Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan should question whether the values of many American people have deteriorated to the point where respect for the rule of law, honesty and morality are no longer present as guiding principles in government and politics.

In his long life after his Presidency, Jimmy Carter traveled all over the world supporting human rights, defending democracy and working to cure devastating diseases.

As a proclaimed “born again Christian” he was dedicated to living his life according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Surely there is a special place in heaven for Jimmy Carter.
Rest in peace Jimmy Carter. May your honesty, compassion and integrity become the true values of the country that you loved.
