The only Democrat who had a gun pointed at her head can back because she thought voting FOR the bill was the right thing to do for her country. Giffords returns to Washington Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-AZ, surprised members of the House when she made a dramatic appearance to cast her vote in support of the bill aimed at preventing an economic crisis. It was Giffords' first public appearance since she was shot in the head during a "Congress on Your Corner" event Jan. 8 in Tucson, AZ. Nineteen others were shot during the attack. Giffords appeared on the House floor with a smile on her face, short hair and dark-rimmed glasses. She could be seen mouthing the words, "Thank you," as her colleagues cheered. After the vote on the "Budget Control Act of 2011," Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, recognized Giffords before the entire House. "Her presence here in the chamber, as well as well as her service throughout her entire service in Congress, is an honor to this chamber," Pelosi said. "We are privileged to call her colleague. Some of us very privileged to call her friend." Pelosi said Americans want their daughters to be like just like her fellow Democrat.
