I wouldn't trust this shit anyway if I were you, I'm not condoning the actions of the man - or of the no-doubt hundreds of others similar types (who for some reason have been able to avoid the public spotlight whilst the world obsesses over this one man) - but if you do want to make a difference -financially - donate to Amnesty International or Unicef they're both completely legit and aren't run suspiciously unlike these bunch of clowns.

It is just like when the hunt for Osama Bin Ladin. The world was "obsessed" over finding him. People said he could have been anywhere even 6 feet under. But the mission for him was not given up and eventually he was found. And now, we know for sure where he is at. Same with Kony. We may not know his whereabouts, but that does not mean you give up and stop searching. Focus on one thing at a time. Then move on to the next.

CONGRESSMEN HAVE SEEN THERE CAUSE. Spreading it is why they have noticed. The president of this nation wrote a letter acknowledging that they have seen their efforts.

If they just scammed people out of their money, then they would have not bothered going to the white house and talking to congressmen and whatnot. They would have gotten the money and killed their campaign. But then those millions of people would have brought to the media's attention, the fact that an organization has scammed millions of people out of money and lied about doing what they said they would do.

orly? Kony evaded capture by fighters armed and supplied by the US in 08. In '10, Congress and Obama unanimously passed legislation to stop him. In '11, US troops were dispatched to Africa to help find him.
The #CAPTUREKONY2012 is a bunch of misleading bullshit.

You just contradicted what you said earlier.
First you said what this campaign is doing is not helping. Now you just said soldiers were dispatched to search for him... Why do you think they decided to send soldiers over there?

The soldiers (100 of them) are there for recon and training. They aren't allowed to go after him...just help. This was over a year ago. The campaign isn't doing shit.

You sir, are ill-informed. Do your research first. President Obama signed the Lord Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act in May of 2010. In October of 2011, Obama authorized 100 combat-equipped troops to deploy to central africa with the goal of, aiding regional forces to help remove Kony and LRA leaders from the battlefield. What Obama said was, "Although the U.S. forces are combat-equipped, they will only be providing information, advice, and assistance to partner nation forces, and they will not themselves engage LRA forces unless necessary for self-defense." Indeed, they were sent to aid in his capture.

Well I mean thanks for proving my point with the little book you just wrote.
Kony 2012 is the campaign I referred to. Kony 2012 had nothing to do with the soldiers being sent there.
