On the recordJanuary 12, 2011
I've gone through many stages of grief in the last few days. First, I was heartsick at the news. Then I was angry. And now I'm resolved. I am going to do my own ``Congress on the Corner'' in honor of Gabby this coming Friday because nobody, no lone gunman, nobody can stop the democratic process and stop us from doing our job of interacting with our constituents. On behalf of myself and my family and the people that I represent from southern Nevada, I send our collective condolences to those people that have lost loved ones in Tucson. And our thoughts and prayers to the survivors. We wish them all Godspeed. God bless them, and God bless this great Nation.
