Ugly Betty star America Ferrera is being praised by members of congress. That’s right, a day after America won the Golden Globe award for best actress in a TV series, Congresswoman Hilda L. Solis from California announced the following:

“Madame Speaker, I rise today to congratulate America Ferrera for winning the Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy for her work in ABC show Ugly Betty. Through her work, Ms. Ferrera is breaking down barriers for Latinos in prime-time television. I commend America and everyone involved in Ugly Betty for helping to break down stereotypes and provide a role model for young Latinas.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
