Gabby Giffords Makes Emotional Plea for Hillary Clinton as Caucus Nears

[book_worm]

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Gabby Giffords uses her words sparingly. After being shot in the head five years ago, the former Arizona congresswoman has had to learn how to speak all over again. But come next January, there are two words she wants to be able to say: "Madam President."

Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, spent all day Saturday in Iowa stumping for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. They joined Clinton onstage at an event in Ames, and later dropped by Clinton's campaign headquarters in Des Moines to fire up her team ahead of canvassing...Giffords and Kelly have made it their mission to rein in the gun lobby ever since the Tucson, Arizona, shooting that killed six of her constituents and wounded 12 others.

"There's only one clear choice. There's only one person who could stand up to the gun lobby and to huge, corporate, monied interests," Kelly said. "You look at everybody else's record, and there's a record of being beholden to the gun lobby. That is not in America's best interest."

2. I guess she's right

The gun lobby represents a large, wealthy, corporate interest. Clinton does oppose that one, even if it's the only corporate interest from which she does not accept campaign donations.
