“Tomorrow begins a long district work period. When I arrive, the number one question will be: Congresswoman Wilson, what are they doing in Washington to help us with unemployment and the economy? What are they doing about sequestration? I will say, The Republicans have not allowed one vote on serious legislation to create jobs or jobs training programs, not one vote to rebuild our bridges and schools, not one bill to hire more teachers and police officers, and nothing to stop sequestration. Mr. Speaker, bring the American Jobs bill to the floor. It creates jobs and stops sequestration. The farm bill is still up in the air. Judicial confirmations are on hold. Immigration reform is still on the radar, and Mr. Snowden is still a fugitive from justice. Still, all the polls tell us that the number one issue for the American people is jobs and the economy. Bring the American Jobs Act to the floor. It deserves a vote, and it stops sequestration. Jobs, jobs, jobs should be the mantra of this Congress. ____________________”
