"My name is Jimmy Carter, and I'm running for President. It's been ? It's been a long time since I said those words the first time, and now I've come here after seeing our great country to accept your nomination. Nineteen seventy-six will not be a year of politics as usual. It can be a year of inspiration and hope, and it will be a year of concern, of quiet and sober reassessment of our nation's character and purpose -- a year when voters have already confounded the experts. And I guarantee you that it will be the year when we give the government of this country back to the people of this country."
