(CNN) -- Cassidy Stay has seen the worst -- the brutal killings of her parents and siblings, ages 4 to 13, in their Texas home.

On Saturday, the 15-year-old quoted Dumbledore, the wise man from the Harry Potter series, in hopes of finding some good amid the horror.

Tragedies should not continue to happen because of wimpy Congressional members. Somewhere somehow the 85% should ring in the ears of Congress.
