                          BRING BACK OUR GIRLS

  (Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, more than 200 girls in Nigeria 
are still missing. They were brutally kidnapped by the terrorist 
organization Boko Haram more than 60 days ago. We pray for their 
return, and we pray for their parents.
  We will tweet and tweet and tweet until they are returned. We must

pressure on the Nigerian Government and President Goodluck Jonathan to 
bring back our girls. I am asking everyone to join our tweet war.
  Every morning, at 9 a.m., please tweet a message of support for the 
rescue of the girls: #bringbackourgirls. We will join the Bring Back 
Our Girls organization in Nigeria in a tweet war during their tweet 
time, which is 2 p.m. Nigerian time.
  At 9 a.m., every morning, tweet. Let's show the girls that we love 
them, and we will do all within our power to make sure that they return 
safely to their families.
  Let us show President Jonathan that the entire international 
community is watching, and we will keep the pressure there. We will not 
forget them, and we will not rest until they are returned.
  Remember, #bringbackourgirls, 9 a.m.
