Political Quotes

“Last Saturday our country suffered a terrible blow. In a senseless and despicable act of violence, a crazed gunman attempted to kill one of this body's finest members and our good friend, Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, while slaying six others and wounding many more, Gabby was gunned down while doing the very thing she was elected to do--listening to her constituents and soliciting their feedback. We must not tolerate this violence and the assault it represents on our democratic way of life. Make no mistake; there is no room for violence in our vigorous national debate. I pray for God's peace for all the victims of this tragic attack and swift healing for all those, especially Gabby, who are still fighting to recover. The House of Representatives is not whole without the smiling face of Gabby and I eagerly await the day when she returns to work on behalf of her constituents.”
