Okay, I’ve mentioned it in my main blog as a means of showing support for my daughter, Abby. She first started getting involved with Invisible Children, while attending St. John’s Episcopal School here in Dallas. At first, I didn’t really get what she was up to. But then she started to show me videos. Begged me to watch them. So, I did.
Okay, we’ve seen similar stories in our recent past. Where a dictator gets into power and abuses it and enslaves every man in sight to fight for him. Ultimately, it falls over into the children. This is their fight.
Started by a couple of guys named Jason Russell and Ben Keesey, Invisible Children is a movement to call attention to these lost children. They have all been the victim of one Joseph Kony. Kony 2012 is their campaign to raise awareness in 2012 to the level where the world looks and listens. Kony leads a group called…and get this…. the Lord’s Resistance Army, or LRA. What a joke. One mean and awful son of a bitch, if I do say so. Totally corrupt and responsible for the abduction of an estimated 30,000 children in northern Uganda since taking power in 1996.
Kony has got to be stopped. The world must speak and it must be heard. Please take a moment to check out their website and watch their videos. Then get involved. Together, we’ll bring this waste of a human to justice.
Thanks for listening, friends!
