Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has been one of my good friends in the House of Representatives. When she was brutally shot, Gabby was out doing what she loved to do - meeting with her constituents in a local setting, allowing people to speak to her directly about the issues that concerned them.

People get Washington-ized a lot of times, being down there for awhile, and forget that we're called members of the House of Representatives because we're meant to represent people.
