Carter Center Peace and Health Programs: Upcoming Live Webcast
by Katie Lambert | September 15, 2009
We’ve been working with the Carter Center lately on blogs and podcasts in honor of the reopening of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum and our former president’s 85th birthday.
The big day is coming up! If you’d like to hear President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter speak tonight, you’re in luck — they’ll discuss current peace and health initiatives as well as the upcoming celebrations on a live webcast Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. (EDT). Here’s the link:

To learn more about The Carter Center and the 2009-2010 live webcast schedule of Conversations at The Carter Center — the annual speaker series featuring panel discussions of current world topics and Carter Center work — visit www.cartercenter.org.
(There’s also a site where you can submit personal birthday greetings to President Carter.)

LOVE THEM ALL.

Awsum! PS: Can you ask for Carter’s take on the whole Kennedy thing???

I missed the live broadcast this evening, but thanks for the link to the birthday greeting. IMHO, Jimmy Carter was one of the best presidents this nation has had in modern times. He’s intelligent, a self-thinker, and probably a little ahead of his time when he was elected. A very good role model for future presidents, if you ask me, and very sharp for all his years.

i know this is the wrong place to put this, but i can’t find where to ask a question… but my friends and i were just discussing, did the allies drop condoms, labeled small size, when in reaiity they were extra big…? was this to offset the german armies morale?
-
would be interesting to know if that was fact or fiction…
-
Worst Podcast and President. Stay out of politics unless you are changing to fiction…

Katie and Sarah, thank you very much for these wonderful interviews with President Carter. He is a hero of mine. From his stands on world peace, human rights, and ending suffering to his leading by example with Habitat for Humanity, energy conservation, and fighting racial discrimination, he is an inspiration to us all.
He made Egypt and Israel safer. He stood up to the KKK and to the Religious Right. He helps build houses with his hands and leads Sunday School. James Earl Carter was also a submariner. He is a real American hero, and a good Christian.
Thank you again ladies for interviewing President Carter and doing such a good job of it on the podcasts. I am enjoying these limited weekly shows. Kudos to you both.
