"Our fight is a lot more like my rehab," she continued. "Every day, we must wake up resolved and determined."

Giffords also revealed in the op-ed that after rigorous physical therapy she was able to regain some movement in her right arm, which was left paralyzed after the shooting. She wants that recovery to serve as a lesson for a gridlocked Congress.

"We will fight for every inch, because that means saving lives," she wrote. "I’ve seen grit overcome paralysis. My resolution today is that Congress achieve the same."

2. Her example and courage should shame her opponents--hiding behind their guns.

[hue]

4. It should but her opponents have no shame. That's 1 of the problems...

3. Gun culture, fail.

It must chap their asses that one of their precious codpieces could not kill an unarmed woman at point blank range.

[hue]

5. Gabby Giffords is a beautiful light of hope. She'll be skydiving this week!!!
