                         #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, 3 months ago, over 200 Nigerian 
schoolgirls were abducted and a hashtag went viral--#bringbackourgirls.
  While talking about the girls may no longer be trendy, it is more 
important now than ever to bring them home. Every moment they are gone 
is a moment they are in danger.
  Mr. Speaker, 3 months without our girls means that the time is now to 
keep pressure on the Nigerian Government. We must tweet with a fervent 
passion that extends beyond the glamour of a breaking news story. We 
cannot slow down. We cannot lose momentum. We cannot rest until our 
girls are home.
  Every morning between 9 and 12, tweet ``Bring Back Our Girls'' with a 
hashtag--#bringbackourgirls, #bringbackourgirls, and #joinrepwilson, 
#joinrepwilson. Tweet, tweet, tweet. Keep tweeting until we bring back 
our girls.
