Today Is: Stop At Nothing Day

As he wept, I wept, although our tears may fall from different places, we cry for the same thing… Justice! "Who is Joseph Kony?" she asked. "Is he a good guy or a bad guy?" I responded honestly, "Who am I to say if  he's a good guy or a bad guy, I don't know enough about him." That was before I attended a viewing of this video on Tuesday night. This made my heart ache and my blood boil. How could we be in this situation? How could we have let this type of cold-blooded murder occur for 20 years without doing anything? How could so many of us, including myself, not know who Joesph Kony is? HOW? Our television screens are filled with "more important" news like who is dating whom, fashion no-no's and other such feel good news, I hope that one day we'll know about these things before it's too late. "No government party... would do enough because it's simply not an important enough issue on the radar screen of American Foreign Policy." Rewind, did he say that it is not an important enough issue... children are getting murdered, raped, and slaughtered by members of their own family, however because it doesn't affect us directly here in America this suddenly is deemed unimportant! WOW! 

That all was until a group of young people decided that this could no longer happen and they began to take action. "A bunch of little's can make a big difference." As he says in the film, "Where you live shouldn't determine if you live." We were all created by the same maker, whom I refer to as God. Needless to say, whatever your belief, I hope that you will agree that no matter who you are or where you live should not determine your chance to life. My hope is that you will view this 27 minute video and join the movement to STOP AT NOTHING! Because as they said in the film, if we fail, this is not just bad for the people of Uganda, this is bad for the world. What kind of world would we be if we just continued to turn our backs. We must do something. I hope you're with me. Help make Kony world news so we stop asking, "WHO IS JOSEPH KONY? and start teaching about "WHO WAS JOSEPH KONY?"
