We're glad to see that our women in Congress know when to stand up and say that enough is enough.

This week, Cong. Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) called out Joe Lieberman on his attempts to stall health care reform, saying:

"No individual should hold health care hostage, including Joe Lieberman, and I'll say it flat out, I think he ought to be recalled. ... We don't have the luxury to hold up a bill that could make a difference in people's lives. This is what we were sent here to do."

Rosa's been leading the charge her whole career -- while serving as the first executive director of EMILY's List and as a member of Congress.

As Ellen Malcolm said,

"We all understand the importance of passing a comprehensive health care reform bill, and when I see women like Rosa bravely fighting for the things that truly matter -- including their strong leadership against the Stupak/Pitts amendment -- I realize why it's so important for us to continue our work. "
