What house resolutions have rep DeLauro co-sponsered? Does she not agree with fellow CT reps Larson, Simmons, and Shays regarding hr 2711?

Rosa is a personal friend, and she's among the most amazing people on the planet.
Unfortunately, Congress is very polarized right now.
I think I'm not speaking out of school in saying that Rosa has posited herself as a far-left of center Democrat. You'll note, no far-left of center Dems are supporting 2711 presently, with perhaps the exception of Rahm Emmanuel.
This is an opportunity for us ... but will require pressure.
Regardless of your party affiliation, regardless of where you live, please note the moderate bi-partisan support for 2711 and contact your national legislators to voice your support! You don't have to play a partisan card here ... both parties' moderates understand 2711 and are behind it. We need another 100 Congressional votes and 51 Senatorial ones to get results.
Do your part and let's not blow it. We've got a shot NOW.
