The attempted assassination of my friend and colleague, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was an attack on all Americans, our Constitution, and our way of life. It was also a wake-up call. Our culture of violence and our zero-sum political discourse, unhinged by the extreme and hateful rhetoric of shock jocks and demagogues, threaten the Republic.

LITHONIA – Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) issued the following statement to honor the memory and legacy of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “As we begin to heal from the tragedy in Arizona last weekend, let us put the lessons Dr. King taught us – peace, love and non-violence – to work in our communities.”
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.
