This is an eloquent statement by Gabby Gifford and coming from her it does carry some weight. I think what happened today is terrible but to say these "leaders" doing the peoples work are somehow special falls short with me. The majority of our leaders in Washington are there for themselves. The medium income in USA is about $50,000. What do you suppose the income and accumulated wealth of those sacrificing and doing the peoples work is. The hate and disdain is self inflicted. I listened to Paul Ryan today, I used to be a fan of his, but hearing him brought the same feeling as driving my fingers down my throat.
