At 11:07 am PST her condition is unknown, she has been hospitalized at the University Medical Center in Tuscon, along with other staffers, people and bystanders who were wounded. (at least 6 others wounded )
The attempted assassin ran up to her and fired at point blank range, hitting her in the head, and then ran off, but he was tackled by witnesses and brought down and taken into custody. (per what I am hearing now on MSNBC as they are talking to a sheriff on a phone line)
Rep. Giffords, 40 years old, was elected to a 3rd term on Nov 2. http://www.npr.org/2011/01/08/…
Oh, my God, a witness on the phone to MSNBC says there are bodies laying all over the place, at least 3 killed. Sheriff says 5 killed, 6 wounded.
Arizona has been a hotbed of hostility towards Democrats since Republican Gov. Jan Brewer signed the racial profiling law targeting Latinos and Indigenous peoples, and both Giffords and Rep. Raul Grijalva have previously received death threats from the extreme right wing.

In conclusion, reading the second United States Constitution, I can’t trust the current government because of the ratifications: The government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar.
No ! I won’t pay debt with a currency that’s not backed by gold and silver !
No ! I won’t trust in God !
What’s government if words have no meaning ?
