On the recordJanuary 12, 2011
I am having a hard time processing what actually occurred last Saturday to her and to those other people. Our prayers obviously are with her, with the families of those who were murdered, and for the swift recovery of everybody who was injured in that shooting. I rise in support of the resolution and I thank the leadership for bringing it. The second paragraph of the resolution says, Whereas on January 8, 2011, an armed gunman opened fire at a ``Congress on Your Corner'' event hosted by Representative Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson. I want to explain what it was she was doing, because it's at the heart of our democracy. It's about listening to your constituents. It's about being accessible in a less formal setting than on the floor of the House of Representatives or in an assembly hall but where people feel comfortable talking to you.
