News Gabby Giffords Will Leave Congress This Week
Posted by Denis C. Theriault on Sun, Jan 22, 2012 at 11:48 AM
Almost a year after she was shot, almost fatally, outside an Arizona supermarket, Representative Gabby Giffords announced today that she's leaving Congress this week to focus on her continuing (and amazing) recovery. I dare you to watch the video her staff posted today and not feel something stir in that cold, dark heart of yours.
