She did a courageous and good thing, not only for herself, but for the country as well.  First time I've seen a Representative actually know their limitations and actually do something about it.

GOD BLESS Gabrielle Dee "Gabby" Giffords. A great American!

Those, ALL, in congress and the White House, should take a page from her selflessness.

Actually to many in Congress and the WH dont even know or care what that page looks like. But I do wish her a speedy recovery and hope for the best for her and her family.

I actually had my kids watch it a bit ago. Told them that's the kind of unselfish politician we needed in congress. With a bit of tweeking though. :)

Good article, Greg, voted up. She is one in a million, certainly one of the very best of the 435.

Those money grubbing opportunists can't understand selflessness. It's nice to see one exist every now and again. It gives us hope.

This is a PDF file of Gabby's resignation letter. It is very touching to say the least!

I'm not easily moved to tears, but that one got me. Thank you for linking to that Wolfman, and thank you Gabrielle Giffords. I know you will put all of your spirit into your full recovery, and I have a feeling we will see you again one day soon putting everything you've got into our country's recovery.

Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly have shown many of us that with love, perserverence, and determination to heal, that anything is possible. I hope that Mark and Gabby are able to return to living a life filled with possibilities, successes, and the love that burns between them.

I love them both 2 exceptional human beings, Mark a decorated combat veteran who was in frickin outer space a couple of months ago, and Gabby a congresswoman who was accessible to her her constituents needs... I remember hearing the news before getting on a flight, they reported her dead among the other victims...I was so surprised to hear the good news she had survived.

That day was such a tragedy, we lost a AZ federal district court judge who worked his way up from baliff, a child born on Sept 11 2001 , her aide dutifully dedicated to civil service, and 3 seniors from our greatest generation. Hard for me not to think about that day without getting chocked up, but the saving grace is her miraculous survival and recovery. I wish her well and I hope she recovers to the point she could return to public service if she desires , or if not to do what her heart desires ...shes more than earned it.

Great Seed

Here is A message from Mark to Gabby I think you will like

Ditto. A classy lady, and someone who cares more about her responsibilities and ability to carry them out than most of the current Congress, that's for sure.

She already looks well recovered. I hope she is not resigning so she can sell books about her ordeal and then go on 50 interviews to promote it. I will try to believe her when she says that she is trying to receive better recovery but if she is able to return to work now then she should.

This one is for Gabby! Gabby will be remembered as a great American. Gabby has trouble seeing, and doesn't use her right hand for writing.
