Tomorrow is Wear Red Wednesday to Bring Back Our Girls. Boko Haram has been declared the world's deadliest terrorist organization. Boko Haram has actually murdered more people than ISIS. This means that Boko Haram's attacks are more lethal and more devastating than anything we have seen in the history of modern terrorism. Mr. Speaker, Boko Haram's January attack on Baga was the second deadliest terrorist attack in modern history after 9/11. An organization capable of this level of death and destruction must be eradicated. I urge Congress to pass my bill, H.R. 3833, which would require the U.S. Government to develop a regional strategy to assist Nigeria in defeating Boko Haram. Please continue to tweet, tweet, tweet #bringbackourgirls and remember to wear something red tomorrow, Wednesday, a tie, a pin, a flower. Just wear something red and tweet, tweet, tweet #bringbackourgirls, #joinrepwilson. Tweet, tweet, tweet. ____________________
