Rep. Jackie Speier on surviving Jonestown, retirement : "When you look death in the eye, you are not afraid anymore"

After spending over a decade in Congress, Rep. Jackie Speier, a California Democrat, will be retiring. She is one of 55 lawmakers who decided not to run for re-election. 

But Speier's road to Washington began in 1978 on a deserted airstrip in Guyana where she lay wounded after being shot five times. 

Speier was then a 28-year-old congressional staffer on a fact-finding mission with her boss, California Rep. Leo Ryan, at the People's Temple compound of cult leader Jim Jones.
