8. Gabrielle Giffords opponent in November Jesse Kelly.......

a Republican favored by Sarah Palin's Tea party, hosted an event against Gabrielle in June, titled "Shoot a fully Automatic M16 to "Get on Target" and "Remove Gabrielle Giffords." Cost to participate $50.00. I have been voting for nigh on many a years and this election was one of if not the dirtiest elections in my years of voting. Jesse Kelly had never held an interest in politics or community work. His highest level of education was High-school and his only resume for work was with his wealthy contractor father. He and his followers spent the dark of nights in placing handwritten Burma Shave signs covering Giffords campaign signs. Listening to all the local news (Tucson), and Gabriel's "worthy opponent," has been ever so quiet? I sure would like to see the list of paying attendee's to Kelly's "Target," and "Remove...., soiree??? Wonder if this young, shooter is on this list?
