On the recordJuly 16, 2014
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. ____________________
