Former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords received the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award on Sunday, asking the U.S. Congress to act more courageously on the issue of gun control.

"We all have courage inside," Giffords, who herself survived being shot in 2011, said at the Kennedy Library in Boston. "I wish there was more courage in Congress. Sometimes it's hard to express it." . .

Before the awards ceremony on Sunday, Giffords and Kelly visited victims of the April 15 Boston Marathon bombing who are recovering at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.

1. I stand with Gabrielle Giffords.

How many more times do we, as a Nation, have to go through the collective trauma that is created by these events?
When will America find the courage to meet this challenge?

I personally feel it is tragically much more basic. movetoamend.org anticorruptionact.org

Our nation is corrupt to the core. That is where we begin.

The members of Congress who voted against gun control are cowards.
