Political Quotes

“I think we all understand and believe that our children are our most precious resource. Over the last couple of weeks, hearts and minds of many around the world have been captured by a heinous thug by the name of Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the Boko Haram, who has been a vile, disgraceful, violent, and uncaring terrorist thug. Yet we do not know where these girls are. As women of the United States Congress, yesterday, myself, Barbara Lee, Marcia Fudge, Karen Bass, and Janice Hahn went to the Nigerian Embassy to stand and reject the $12 that Shekau wants to sell these girls for. We ask that we have a concerted effort on this. We should also establish a victims' fund. In the meeting, as we spoke to those from Nigeria, we asked President Jonathan to stand up to say they will find these girls and they will bring this terrorist to justice. We ask that today because no one knows where these girls might be. I close by calling two names: Aisha Ezekial and Nguba Buba. I will be calling these girls' names throughout this week to remind us they must be found now. ____________________”
