Congresswoman Allyson Y. Schwartz shared a link via Gabrielle Giffords.
Today, I am thinking of my good friend and former colleague Gabby Giffords, who was shot two years ago today in a brutal attack that wounded 12 and killed six. Her message is important and profound, and I wanted to take a moment to share it with you.- LikesSee All

- I am on the House floor right now participating in debate on a bill that will avert the fiscal cliff and the harmful economic consequences that might have resulted.
By passing this bill, Congress provides economic security and certainty for middle class families.
This legislation, which passed the Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support, permanently extends tax cuts for 99 percent of America...n families and small businesses, protects seniors’ access to their doctors, makes vital investments to grow our economy and sets us on a path toward greater deficit reduction.

There is more work to do in the next Congress. Reaching bipartisan solutions will not be easy.
But, tonight demonstrates that it can be done. We must find common ground for our country.See More - The House should have a vote on the bipartisan Senate passed fiscal cliff bill.
