I'd like for us to remember someone else today - Christina-Taylor Green

For those of you who don't know who she let me share that with you.

Her grandfather was former Phillies manager Dallas Green
She was born on 9/11/2001 and featured in a book about the children born on 9/11
She was interested in politics at a very young age.
A neighbor was nice enough to take her to her local 'Congress on your Corner' gathering outside Tuscon, AZ
And her life was cut short when someone decided to shoot at Gabby Giffords on Jan 8th, 2011.

Who knows what kind of life this girl would have had? We'll never know.

I didn't place her name at first and then I did when you reminded us.

I don't know if this girl would have grown up to be a democrat or a republican and honestly it doesn't matter.

I just think she was pretty darn smart if she wanted to go meet her local congressperson. I was like that when I was her age and I think I turned out ok.

What had really made the story about her that day was that she was one of the 9/11/01 babies and was documented in a book.
