Kony 2012

   For all of those who do not know, the man named Joseph Kony has kidnapped and forced children to kill for nearly 26 years. He has forced over 30,000 children to kill others as well as torture and disfigure them. How would you feel if your child was kidnapped? Then think about how you would feel if they were forced to kill other people under the fear of torture and death themselves? How would you feel not knowing where they were and being completely powerless to find them? What about your neighbor's child? Would you rally with them to find their child and stop the person who was responsible?
   If a child in America was kidnapped and forced to hurt anyone, there would be a nationwide frenzy to stop the person. How is it any different for the thousands of children that this has happened to? Is it because they are in Africa? Do you feel as helpless as I did? I have a way that you can help!!!
   Spread the word. Make Joseph Kony famous. Share this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc watch the entire video and learn how you can make a difference. Make a status about it. Tell a friend or classmate. Hand out some fliers to coworkers or simply donate to https://www.stayclassy.org/checkout/donation?eid=14711 This is something that WILL make a difference. Not only are we showing Joseph Kony that he cannot hide, but that we support peace and safety for all. Children are our most precious resource and must be protected. We MUST act! Now. Not tomorrow or in a week from now. NOW!!
   Thank you for your support!! 
Sincerely,
