U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords announced her plans to step down from Congress Jan. 22, 2011.

Transcript of video:
"Arizona is my home, always will be. A lot has happened over the past year. We cannot change that. But I know on the issues we fought for we can change things for the better. Jobs, border security, veterans. We can do so much more by working together. I don't remember much from that horrible day, but I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice. Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover. I have more work to do on my recovery so to do what is best for Arizona I will step down this week. I'm getting better. Every day, my spirit is high. I will return and we will work together for Arizona and this great country. Thank you very much."

  • Good luck to her. Best wishes from Ireland.

  • Gabrielle, what a courageous and incredible woman you are!! I wish you a full recovery and hope that you can again serve this great country again! Let's work together to change the laws regarding getting people help who have severe mental illness such as, paranoid schizophrenia. There needs to be more support for individuals with mental illness and their family members who struggle to get them help before it's too late! Support organizations like National Alliance for Mental Illness .nami.org
