Christina Taylor Green, age 9, was murdered while going to see her Congressional Representative, Gabrielle Giffords.  She was just elected to her school’s student council and so excited about being part of a new world of voting and thinking and decision making.  She saw it as pure and fun and the essence of being a helpful, good person in the world.
 
In his speech at the memorial the President said many things. But the passage that stuck with me, that made me tear up,  was the quote I have on the napkin.  I agree with it, don’t you?
 
Let’s do what we can to make our efforts in democracy something our children can be proud of.
