Gabby Giffords

The majority of citizens in the United States of America have never read the United States of America's Constitution. You don't have to accept the federalist laws.

We need to figure out how to tone our rhetoric and partisanship down.

We're on Sarah Palin's targeted list. But the thing is that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. Will people do that? You've got to realize there's consequences to that action.

The First Amendment: ``Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and…

For my constituents, the people that reside in my district, what matters is that we get the job done. They don't care about all of the partisan back and forth and this and that, what happens here.

That is why it was so important to have the National Guard deployed on the border. We are here because today the National Guard is deploying to Arizona and the Southwest border. They were designed to be deployed not in a vacuum but with…

To me, it doesn't matter what the President of the United States proposes along the U.S.-Mexico border. I am a Member of the United States Congress. I am sent here by my constituents to fight for their needs. That is why I repeatedly asked…

This represents a single point of possible failure for our most important military assets. The requirement that this amendment puts in place will mean we must take into account the stresses placed upon the grid and how we can reduce those…

I believe it is well designed to achieve critical research and development (R&D) goals in solar energy technologies with the potential for significant public benefit.

Investing in solar power offers a tremendous opportunity for us to stimulate our economy, increase our national competitiveness, strengthen our national security, and reduce the environmental and public health impacts associated with…

While consolidating the mission at one location may be more economical, with a lack of final surveys do you think your staff fully considered the costs of this move to Dugway?

I am concerned about what the methodology was for making the decision to move the mission to Dugway and that insufficient research was done prior to making the decision.

Solar power creates jobs for electricians, for construction workers, plumbers, line workers, roofers, engineers, and high-paying manufacturing positions.

I believe that by making critical investments in clean energy, but particularly solar energy, we can take a big step towards putting our Nation back on a strong economic footing.

Solar and other renewables provide a means of addressing the economic crisis head on.

By making critical investments in clean energy, especially solar energy, we can take a big step toward putting our nation back on a strong economic footing.

They are looking to us for leadership and want us to reject distractions that have kept us from focusing on what we need to do today to secure our future.

I believe that this crisis has opened a door of opportunity.

I urge the committee to follow the President's lead and set aside significant funding for research and development, demonstration projects, loan guarantees, and tax-free bonding authority for solar and other renewable energy projects.

With effective national policy, solar can create tens of thousands of jobs across the entire country and spur billions of dollars worth of economic growth and tax revenue.

I feel the terrible responsibility of being the lone voice in Congress to try to raise awareness of the gulf between my constituents and the rest of our Nation.

The MRAPs that we have rushed to the field in Iraq are too large and too heavy for Afghanistan. What will be done with MRAPs once our forces leave Iraq?

I rise today to support moving forward with this legislation. I was a former small business owner, and I understand the real costs of health care, health insurance, increasing year after year. It's my understanding that the health savings…

To my knowledge, those companies will be able to opt out if they do not want to participate in the program. Again, this is an amendment that was brought to me by the Solar Energy Industries Association. The solar companies in Arizona that…

I indeed think that this is an important piece of legislation that will further support our interests abroad and make sure that parts like the F-14 Tomcat are not sold to the Iranians.
