Profile in Courage: Congreswoman Kilroy voted against Stupak amendment and for health care reform

Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy knows that the national Republicans have painted a big target on her back.? She knows she’s likely facing a rematch from her ’08 opponent in which she narrowly won thanks, in part, to a high youth turnout fueled by the presidential election that is unlikely to materialize in ’10.

And yet, she not only voted for the House health insurance reform bill, but she also voted against the Stupak anti-choice amendment.

If you’ve got some spare change, give Kilroy some coin.? If you live in the area and have some spare time, then give Kilroy’s campaign your time.?

Kilroy is living proof that you don’t have to wear an uniform to show the courage of your convictions.
