Gabby’s Farewell

Amy Davidson reflects on the above video:

As one of her last acts as her district’s congresswoman, Giffords, according to the Arizona Daily Star, will be to complete the “Congress on Your Corner” event she started that day, with some of the people who had come to see and talk to her then, this time in a private place. Some, of course, won’t be there, including Christina-Taylor Green, a girl who was interested in politics and who died that day, at the age of nine. One hopes that Giffords’s successor will have have such open meetings, too, and neighbors will keep bringing children, who are also finding their own voices.
