WASHINGTON – Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) issued the following statement following President Obama’s State of the Union Address on Jan. 25, 2011.
“I share the President’s vision of an America that invests in its people by providing access to education and health care needed to lead the world in productivity and innovation,” said Johnson. “And I share the President’s call for investments in cutting-edge 21st century infrastructure and clean energy.
Madame Speaker, I rise to support H.Res. 32.
I am deeply shocked and saddened by this horrific tragedy.
As a fellow Member of the class of 2006, I have gotten to know Congresswoman Giffords well and have developed enormous respect for her intellect and her love of this country. She and I have served together on the House Armed Services Committee and she was even gracious enough to share her blanket with me as we braved the cold during the Inauguration of President Obama.
I am praying for Gabby, her family, staff and the other victims of this senseless act of violence.
