Gabby Giffords

Gabby announced today by way of video on her web site that she will resign from Congress this week. She has made a remarkable recovery from the bullet wound to her head but it was a very serious injury and she has a difficult road ahead rehabilitating. While her resignation will give Arizona a full-time congressperson, it is still a sad event for Gabby and Americans. When one person's bullet negates the votes of millions of American we move one step closer to a banana republic.
