Newtown pol to Gabby Giffords:
Posted: Jan 8, 2013
Gabby Giffords went to Newtown to visit with families of shooting victims, originally a low-key event that did not involve the press. Despite advance reports of her visit, GOP CN State Representative Debra Lee Hovey went on a FB rant, decrying the "pure political motives" behind her CN trip and alleged lack of prior notice of the visit. After the ensuing uproar over her cringe-worthy statements, Hovey then had the gall to claim in a hasty apology that HER motives had nothing to do with politics and, in fact, where made strictly out of her concern for the families' privacy.
Meanwhile, on the second anniversary of Loughner's assassination attempt that killed 6, including a 9-year-old girl, and injured 12, Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelley (gun owners themselves) announced the launch of their Americans for Responsible Solutions campaign, in an effort to raise the needed money to counter the NRA megalobby. Looks like LaPierre has met his match.

Congresswoman Giffords - Jan 13, 2011
My husband and I are in the middle of a really interesting conversation after seeing the latest progress that Congresswoman Giffords is making. On one of the news reports a few days ago, we saw that they had removed quite a bit of her skull as a precaution for anticipated swelling. Now what? Is there a way they can put that part of her skull back or will she have to have a titanium plate? Just curious ...
A Christmas Poem For The Newtown Angels.Dec 20, 2012
Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38, when 26 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate. Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air. They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there. They were filled with such joy; they didn't know what to say. They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day. “Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse. “This is heaven" declared a small boy. "We’re spending Christma ...

Fox Tells Newtown Families To Shut Up About Stronger Gun LawsApr 15, 2013
As I sat crying while watching Francine Wheeler give the White House Weekly Address, I tried to put myself in her shoes and imagine what I would do in similar circumstances. Probably just curl up in a ball and want to die myself, but if I ever came out of it, I would imagine that I would put whatever energy I had into exactly the same kind of efforts that she and her husband and other Sandy Hook families are now doing. It is indeed a "disservice" to these families to imply they are mere pr ...
