Laura Hoydick, R-Stratford, left, after speaking at a memorial service for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting before the House of Representatives and Senate meet for special session the state Capitol. Hovey has apologized after saying in a Facebook post that shooting victim and former Arizona U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords should "stay out of my towns." Giffords last week visited Newtown, Conn., where a gunman killed 20 young children and six adults at an elementary school last month.

FILE - In this Jan. 1, 2013, file photo, Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, walks past reporters after a closed-door meeting meeting of House Republicans as the "fiscal cliff" bill passed by the Senate the previous night waits for a vote in the GOP-controlled House at the Capitol in Washington. After Republicans and Democrats alike reluctantly shunned their core supporters and reached a bipartisan compromise to avert a fiscal crisis, there's a reasonable question to ask: Did American lawmakers actually _ for a moment, at least _ listen to the regular Joes and Janes pleading for a gridlocked Washington to get something, anything, done?

MESA, AZ - JUNE 24: An undocumented Guatemalan immigrant, chained for being charged as a criminal, boards a deportation flight to Guatemala City, Guatemala at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport on June 24, 2011 in Mesa, Arizona. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, ICE, repatriates thousands of undocumented Guatemalans monthly, many of whom are caught in the controversial "Secure Communities" data-sharing program which puts local police on the frontlines of national immigration enforcement. ICE recently announced a set of adjustments to the federal program after many local communities and some states, including New York, insisted on opting out, saying immigrants were being deported for minor offenses such as traffic violations. Guatemala ranks only second to Mexico in the number of illegal immigrants deported from the United States. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
