            BRING THE AMERICAN JOBS BILL TO THE HOUSE FLOOR

  (Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow begins a long district 
work period. When I arrive, the number one question will be: 
Congresswoman Wilson, what are they doing in Washington to help us with 
unemployment and the economy? What are they doing about sequestration?
  I will say, The Republicans have not allowed one vote on serious 
legislation to create jobs or jobs training programs, not one vote to 
rebuild our bridges and schools, not one bill to hire more teachers and 
police officers, and nothing to stop sequestration.
  Mr. Speaker, bring the American Jobs bill to the floor. It creates 
jobs and stops sequestration.
  The farm bill is still up in the air. Judicial confirmations are on 
hold. Immigration reform is still on the radar, and Mr. Snowden is 
still a fugitive from justice.
  Still, all the polls tell us that the number one issue for the 
American people is jobs and the economy.
  Bring the American Jobs Act to the floor. It deserves a vote, and it 
stops sequestration. Jobs, jobs, jobs should be the mantra of this 
Congress.
