A Brief from Doug Draper at Niagara At Large
When former U.S. President Jimmy Carter was returning home this August 20th from his first radiation treatment following his recent statements that he has been diagnosed with cancer, the following sign was lining streets in his Plains Georgia neighbhourhood.
“I think this is one campaign we can all get behind—Jimmy Carter for Cancer Survivor,” said someone who participated in placing the signs in Jimmy Carter’s neighbhourhood.

We’re with Jimmy Carter! Always had a spot in my heart for the Christian peanut-farmer who held arguably the highest office in the world, and for his brother too, he of “Billy Beer” fame. Sort of a high-profile “odd couple” they were, and something for the feasting tabloids of the day. This president was always helpful and kind, as was his nature, and made an admirable career out of being charitable, notably in his “JCWP” construction projects for Habitat for Humanity. Many prayers will go forth for this man, and we salute his colourful life and character during these challenging times.
