“I will return and we will work together for Arizona and this great country. Thank you very much.”
~ Rep. Gabrielle Giffords

God bless you, Gabby. Keep getting better.

Reported by Wall Street Journal, Giffords to Resign From Congress:

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who survived a gunshot wound to the head a year ago, said Sunday she would step down from Congress this week, setting off a political scramble in Arizona to fill her seat.

In a video released on YouTube, the Democratic congresswoman said she would resign because she had more work to do on her recovery. “I’m getting better every day,” said Ms. Giffords, speaking audibly but slowly. “My spirit is high.”

Here is the video announcing her resignation that Rep. Giffords posted on YouTube today.

About the author

I'm a conservative frugalist. My priorities: Watchdogging the government, making sure our tax dollars are spent wisely, living within our budgets (at home and in Washington, DC), and adhering to our Constitution and the conservative principles upon which it was developed by our founding fathers. Also, loving God, my family, and my country. Be wise, be frugal. God bless America!
