I literally JUST watched this off my facebook and I was going to post it here. This is such a worthy cause. Kony needs to be stopped.
I am going to sign the petition and look into getting an action kit. I am going to talk to my staff rep to see if this can be done for our school too.
Its a big issue and yes, he needs to become famous like Hitler to be stopped.

Wow, very powerful!!!

I personally hope that humanity as a whole can one day stand together as one and take down evil, like Joseph Kony. This video just shows that we can make a difference if we really want to.

Video worth watching.

Please read the first link I posted before you consider donating any money.

The second link I posted is good for a small laugh I guess, but the first one is dead serious. By supporting Invisible Children you are funding the Ugandan militia which might not be what you want (if it's what you want then I guess don't listen to me but at least make an informed decision).

For what it's worth, I fell for this yesterday as well. It's hard not to get caught up in it. Warlords are bad! I'm sure Kony is a terrible person and needs to brought to justice. But supporting Invisible Children (which you do by even sharing the link) might not be the most appropriate avenue to that goal.

The reality is that this is a chain letter ("bad things will happen if you don't immediately share this with your friends and family!") and EVERY chain letter is something you should look at with a healthy dose of suspicion and skepticism.
