With liberty & justice for all
Former congresswoman Gabrielle "Gabby" Giffords, right, after leading the Pledge of Allegiance Thursday at the Democratic National Convention. Accompanied by her friend, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. For me, the most moving moment of the week. Gabby radiated joy to be there, to stand on her own, to make the most touching recitation of the Pledge I've ever heard, every word meaning what it means & even more.
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson
