Entry Title Date
Commemorating Arizona’S Centennial Anniversary February 9, 2012
Jeff Flake, R-AZ
"James Madison Flake would be proud to know that Arizona has many women legislators, has had a number of women Governors, and that the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court, Sandra Day O’Connor, is a proud Arizonan. He would surely be proud to know of Gabby Giffords, daughter of Arizona and one of this Nation’s enduring symbols of hope, who served this Nation’s House of Representatives so ably."
Streetcar Summit February 7, 2012
Earl Blumenauer, D-OR
"While it’s manufactured in Portland, Oregon—I say with some modest pride—it makes a difference for people around the country because it’s going to be provided to other communities like Tucson, Arizona, in the project I worked on with our former colleague, Gabby Giffords. And subcontracting is occurring throughout the upper Midwest, where smaller manufacturers are helping construct this product made in America."
Recognizing Rep. Gabrielle Giffords January 27, 2012
Joe Baca, D-CA
"In her time as a Member of Congress, and before that—as a Member of the Arizona State Legislature, Gabby has been a shining example of what a public servant can be."
Ultralight Aircraft Smuggling Prevention Act Of 2012 January 26, 2012
Tom Udall, D-NM
"I had the privilege of serving with Congresswoman Gabby Giffords in the House of Representatives, and she is the force behind this legislation. She originally introduced it in 2010, before the senseless act of violence that took place, and she won its passage. But the Senate failed to take it up."
The Retirement Of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords January 25, 2012
Mazie Hirono, D-HI
"We have all been deeply touched and inspired by Gabby‘s courage, spirit, and her pure love for Arizona and our Nation. Her admirers and friends in Hawaii and across the country will continue to pray for her ongoing recovery."
