Rep. Giffords, please stand firm on the public option

by David Safier

My last post about Giffords and health care reform was very positive. She came out clearly for a strong public option and held firm in front of a hostile crowd at the town hall I attended.

The rubber is about to meet the road on health care legislation, and I hope she'll stay true to her convictions. These are the times that try legislators' souls. They're also the times that test their mettle.
