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. Neither is a stranger to campaigning; Giffords successfully ran for Congress twice. But this is the first time either has hit the presidential campaign trail, and for Clinton, they're in it for the long haul.
"It's our first day doing this. It's exciting," Kelly told The Huffington Post during their visit to Clinton's campaign office. "After this, we'll be in New Hampshire. Beyond that? We want to do whatever we can. Absolutely."
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. Three years ago, they launched Americans for Responsible Solutions, a group that advocates for tighter background checks on gun sales. They've circulated petitions and letters to Congress. They've funded candidates who support their issue. They've helped influence gun legislation at the state level.

She was shot in the head. She survived and she resigned she knew she could no longer do her job. She is so loved for her strength and beauty. She has trouble speaking now. Yet she Fights. She is an inspiration to us all.
