To celebrate, a revamped Carter Museum, opened at the Carter Center in Atlanta:

In 1976, as a 17 year old I worked in four states for the Carter Campaign. While I was disappointed with the turn of events at times during his presidency I've ALWAYS, I mean always, been proud to have played a small role in the election of this great man who has done us proud for so long.

In office, Carter presided over the Camp David accords, fought at great political cost for the Panama Canal treaties, SALT II and added more acres of national parkland, mostly in Alaska, than any other President.

Most of all, if we had listened to President Carter and adopted a sane and forward looking energy policy we would not face, today, the problem of global warming on the same magnitude and would not be fighting foreign wars partly because of our dependence on imported oil -- and wouldn't that be great for the economy too.

Mrs. Roselyn Carter deserves our thanks too, especially for her lifelong commitment to fight mental illness. Back in the 1970's she was berated for attending cabinet meetings and the fact that she was interested in more than fashion and social life. Roselyn Carter has helped blaze the trail on which so many other women have followed.

Happy Birthday Mr. President. May there be many more and thank you for truth telling, peace making, disease fighting and for being a racial healer. Every day you inspire Americans and everyone in the world.

Wish President Carter a Happy Birthday below or, better yet, send him a note:
