Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has announced via YouTube that she is resigning from Congress this week.

Giffords narrates the video herself.

“I don’t remember much from that horrible day, but I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice,” Giffords says. “Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover. I have more work to do on my recovery. So to do what is best for Arizona, I will step down this week.”

“I’m getting better,” she continues. “Every day, my spirit is high. I will return and we will work together for Arizona and this great country.”

  2. I so want Gabby to recover and be well, if this is what it takes, so be it. That being said, I’m so sad I can bearly stand it. I look forward to Gabby’s recovery and her being back to represent us. This state is going to hell in the hands of the republicants and I hardly recongnize my beautiful state. God speed, Gabby. Come back to us when you’re able. We’re all here for you.

  3. Wow…Takes your breath away.

    May Gabby be an inspiration for people…young and old…to step forward and help lead America. We the people are more powerful than all the money.

    Get out and help pull the wagon…in the direction we want to go!
