BRING BACK OUR GIRLS
(Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am asking the world to join
together, as we refuse to let the abducted Nigerian girls vanish from
the international headlines, by tweeting every day from 9 a.m. to 12
p.m., eastern standard time, using #bringbackourgirls and
#joinrepwilson.
We have heard President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria speak about the
resources his country used to try to find the girls, and we have read
about your role in developing a concealed rescue plan.
Mr. Speaker, we know that these are excuses from Nigeria. We have
seen unconscionable acts of terror committed almost daily. We have seen
the military officially wrap up its investigation into the kidnapping,
without locating the girls.
We have seen President Jonathan spend over $1 million in a public
relations campaign in an attempt to reshape his image.
President Jonathan, we are still waiting to see you bring home those
kidnapped girls.
Tweet, tweet, tweet. Tweet, tweet, tweet. Bring back our girls.
