Frederica Wilson said "I head back to my district tomorrow to face the thousands of people who sent me here to help them find jobs--800 days ago. Mr. Speaker, what do I say to them? They know the real deficit is jobs. Do I say that the Republicans in Congress don't get it and that they don't understand that people are suffering and struggling and starving and looking for work? Millions of people are out of work, and this body seeks to fire millions more. Wake up, America. It's time to bring the President's American Jobs Act to the floor for a vote. It deserves a vote. Mr. Speaker, our mantra should be ``jobs, jobs, jobs--and more jobs.'' ___________________
