Posted on her FB page:

I have more work to do on my recovery, so to do what is best for Arizona I will step down this week.

I'm getting better. Every day, my spirit is high.

I will return and we will work together for Arizona and this great country.

Thank you,
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords

3. This is one of the worst things to happen since the assassinations of Martin Luther King and the

Kennedy brothers. When brute force achieves political ends, you know you are living in a fascist state. This young man should not have had the equipment that gave him the means to destroy the will of the people.

6. A message from Gabby - video

Video Transcript:

"Arizona is my home, always will be. A lot has happened over the past year. We cannot change that. But I know on the issues we fought for we can change things for the better. Jobs, border security, veterans. We can do so much more by working together. I don't remember much from that horrible day, but I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice. Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover. I have more work to do on my recovery so to do what is best for Arizona I will step down this week. I'm getting better. Every day, my spirit is high. I will return and we will work together for Arizona and this great country. Thank you very much."
