Happy 100th birthday Jimmy Carter
To me, and many people my age, this single act, taught us all that President Carter put morals above politics.
On Jan. 21, 1977, President Jimmy Carter, in his first full day in office, fulfilled a campaign promise by granting unconditional pardons to hundreds of thousands of men who had evaded the draft during the Vietnam War by fleeing the country or by failing to register with their Selective Service boards.
@corlin
This was my first presidential election and I am proud to have voted for him.
Happy birthday sir.
With his recognition of the energy crisis, its effects on climate, and setting a progressive energy/environmental agenda, I truly thought "the times they are a-changin' ". Alas we've had huge pushback ever since 1980 and Reagan, crippling of unions, and removal of the solar panels Carter put on the White House. 😡
