The highlight of the Debt Ceiling Debate - Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords! With all the rancor and manipulation of the last few months over the debt ceiling, the nations's spending and eliminating tax loopholes, it was incredible to see Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords enter the House of Representatives to cast her vote. The 10 minute standard ovation that has been discussed at length today and the tears in the eyes of Members of Congress and even the press covering the vore was something extraordinary to witness.

As we have seen over the last 8 months "Gabby" Giffords is beloved by the people in her Tucson congressional district - people of all philosophies and politicial affilliations. Apparently Ms. Giffords is also loved by her colleagues in the House of Representatives as well.
Gabby Giffords is the epitome of courage and grace. May her example and her pure "grit" encourage and exhort us all to be the best we can be and to live and work for the betterment of our ourselves, our families, and our country.
Also, as we applaud Gabby Giffords wonderful achievement this week and root for her continued recovery, may we remember the other victims who were injured and lost in that tragic event. May we all work to restore civility in our cities, towns and political discourse. And may we not wait until the fragile among us do something reckless and tragic before we reach out to help or get help for them!
The highlight of the Debt Ceiling Debate - Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
