STOP KONY 2012

Hello world,

Here's the deal, there isn't much more to say about this than the video already says, but some of you might not want to spend 30 minutes out of your day to watch the video Koney2012 so I will briefly explain what its goal is in hopes that you will feel the conviction to share the video to bring more awareness on this issue.

First things first.

Who is Kony?

He is basically the African Hitler. The worst of the worst. He abducts children and uses them to build an army of rebels to kill their own families, even their parents! He steals little girls and uses them as sex slaves. He's abducted over 30,000 kids and is ruining the future of this generation. This affects each and every single one of us.
He has been charged for war crimes by the International Criminal Court in 2005, but unfortunately was able to escape. Most people don't even know he exists and yet he is impacting the entire world in a very negative manner, so we are fighting to "make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice."

I have a friend who's been personally affected by all of this. She's seen most of her family get killed and is now suffering the consequences of this man's actions by working her butt off in the US to provide for the rest of her family. She is 22 and has the mindset of a 40 year old who is constantly focused on providing for their family and she can't even enjoy life.
She's lost the belief that there is even a God out there due to all she's gone through.

Let's please put a stop to this.

This video is very well made, I mean REALLY well made and the 30 minutes feel like 30 seconds, so click on this link for more information about what Invisible Children is doing to stop this and find Kony, and see how YOU can help put an end to this tragedy.

"I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it."
