    Gabby Giffords was ask to stay out of Newton, CT by a state legislator. Connecticut State Rep. DebraLee Hovey said that Giffords is just using the tragedy in Newton for her own political agenda. Hovey said there has been enough media attention in Newton. The people of the town need privacy to grieve and resume business as normal.

    At this time all the local resources in Newton are being consumed by the media and well wishers. All the town workers are overwhelmed by people sending toys and calling/emailing to see if they can help. The most helpful thing anyone can do is pray for the people of Newton and give them the respect they deserve.

    Of course Giffords is trying to advance her agenda, as is the rest of the anti gun crowd. Fueled by Mr. Obama's re-election, they view this as their moment in time. Also known as not letting a crisis go to waste.

    She just wanted to show support. Like her husband did from space while she was laying in a hospital bed.

    I agree. She is one of the few who could really, really understand what they are going through in Newtown. If I were mayor of that town, I would not have refused her visit but I understand his desire for his town to 'return to normal' as best they can.

    Gabby Gifford and her husband are starting a new antgun Org. She is going to do the same thing The Bradys did. She has fooled the folks in Arizona for years. Supporting Liberal Democrats will always fail.:eek:

    Good luck with that! The Democrats have a petition at petitions.whitehouse.gov stating they will vote republican if gun laws are passed. The pro-gun Democrats don't want to be forced to vote single issue but if far left is going to pass crazy laws they are going to vote Republican.
