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. ____________________
