Jeff at 10-Years Old Writing to Support Jimmy Carter

I recently found some old bumper stickers I was given at the age of 14 when I campaigned for Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro in 1984. I actually put one of them on my car just to see what people’s reaction in Texas might be. One comment I got was, “Who is Mondale Ferraro?” It was 40 years ago. As far as anyone younger than 50 knows, they are Republicans. Then I found this little paper I wrote at the age of 10 in support of Jimmy Carter. I assure you my parents had some influence on me in the choice of this topic. If you didn’t know, Maryland is almost always one of the top 3 most Democratic states in the nation – more so than California and New York.
