Such an amazing couple who clearly are invested in this country's progress. Gabby, a democrat, was shot in the head at a campaign event after Palin's "cross-hairs" challenge, apparently oblivious to the crack-pots (missing a pot or two from the pot cupboard) who take that sort of thing seriously, and Mark Kelly has been steadfastly at her side since while relentlessly campaigning for sensible gun control--while his twin brother has been alone out in space for over 300 days now.
Their endorsement and commitment to HC matters.
