    A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION honoring Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona.

    Whereas, Gabrielle Giffords has represented the 8^th District of Arizona in the United States House of Representatives since 2007; and,

    Whereas, on Saturday, January 8^th, Rep. Giffords was meeting publicly with a group of her constituents when a gunman opened fire, first on her, then on members of the public, in a vicious attack that claimed six lives and gravely injured the Congresswoman and thirteen others; and,

    Whereas, Rep. Giffords continues to struggle for her life; and,

    Whereas, all public servants and all members of the public must abhor violence committed for the sake of political ends, and affirm that violence and threats of violence have no place in our political lives; and,

    Whereas, federal and state officials across the country have joined the citizens of Rep. Giffords' district in mourning the loss of those killed, offering comfort to the injured and bereaved, and honoring Rep. Giffords' dedicated service to her community, her state and her country: Therefore,
