9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Him. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It's obvious that Kony should be stopped 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The problem is 99% of the planet doesn't know who he is 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 If they knew, Kony would have been stopped long ago 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Let the world, let the international community 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Take justice to him there 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Follow him wherever he is 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 First to rescue our children 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And secondly, to deliver the justice 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We are determined to cooperate with any friend of Uganda 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 To ensure that this mindless killing and slaughter is ended 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 When my friends and I came home from Uganda 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We thought that if the government knew, they would do something to stop him 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But everyone in Washington we talked to said 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 There is no way the United States will ever get involved 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In a conflict where our national security or financial interests aren't at stake 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 No administration, republican, democrat, Obama, Bush, Clinton, doesn't matter 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Would do enough because it's simply not an important enough issue 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 On the radar screen of American Foreign Policy 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Since the government said it was impossible 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We didn't know what else to do 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But tell everyone we could about Jacob and the Invisible Children 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We're going to show this movie to as many people as possible 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In such a way that we can't be ignored 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And when we did, people were shocked 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And their awareness turned into action 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We started something 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 A community 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I have friends that have been living in this conflict their entire life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Fight for that, because that is what is going to change this world 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And that is what defines us 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We got creative and we got loud 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It's not over! It's not over! It's not over! 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And as the LRA began to move into other countries 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Jacob and other Ugandans came to the US 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 To speak on behalf of all people suffering because of Kony 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Even though Uganda was relatively safe 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They felt compelled to tell the world that Kony was still out there 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And had to be stopped 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I'm here so proud advocating for the people who are back at home 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And this change we are going to make is going to last forever 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We built a community around the idea that where you live 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Shouldn't determine whether you live 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We were committed to stop Kony and rebuild what he had destroyed 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And because we couldn't wait for and institutions or governments to step in 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We did it ourselves 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 With our time, talent, and money 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So we rebuilt schools 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The best you can offer a child is by letting them be independent 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And that was providing education 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We created jobs 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I have seen the lives of those who have been hopeless 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Now they have hope 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And we built and early warning radio network on the front line of the war 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 To protect villages from rebel attacks 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So you update real-time what's happening in a war zone 8,000 miles away 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 All of this was funded by an army of young people 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Who put their money toward their belief in the value of all human life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They gave a few dollars a month of what little they had 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 To a program called Tri 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And proved that a bunch of littles could make a big difference 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And as a result the unseen became visible 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We've seen these kids 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We've heard their cries 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This war must end 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We will not stop 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We will not fear 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We will fight war 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Deliver your voice 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I've talked to people from Mexico, from Canada 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 From every other state that I can think of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We're all doing this for the exact same reason 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And we're all coming from completely different places 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is what the world should be like 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So with hundreds of thousands of people with us 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We went back to Washington DC and we met with Congressmen and Senators 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 One by one 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 On both sides, republicans, democrats, and they all agreed with us 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Joseph Kony's crimes had to be stopped 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Of all the problems that are out there, none is more severe than one that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Mutilates the lives of little kids 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 These young members of the Invisible Children organization 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Know that no child should live in fear of being abducted or killed 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So they were determined to become their voice 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They realized that these African children and families 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Were invisible to Washington policy makers 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So they decided to make them visible 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And what I was told would never happen 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Suddenly became possible 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In furtherance of the Congress' stated policy, I have authorized 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 A small number of US forces to deploy to Central Africa 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 To provide assistance to regional forces that are working toward 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The removal of Joseph Kony from the battlefield 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Sincerely, Barack Obama 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The surprise announcement came in a letter from the White House 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The US president's decision commits US troops to help 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Through advice and assistance 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Not putting Americans into combat, to help the countries of the region 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 End this threat once and for all 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And that was a worthwhile investment 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We used to think that we could not do it 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And now when I see we can do it I am overwhelmed 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 After 8 years of work, the government finally heard us 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And in October of 2011, 100 American advisors were sent into Central Africa 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 To assist the Ugandan army in arresting Kony and stopping the LRA 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It was the first time in history that the United States took that kind of action 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because the people demanded it 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Not for self defense, but because it was right 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We have come some far[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But Kony is still out there[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 He recently changed his tactics[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Making it more difficult to capture him[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And international support could be removed at anytime[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 If we take the pressure off[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 If we are not successful[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 He is going to be growing his numbers[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 People forget and you got remind them[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And take numbers to remind them[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And if interest wanes, then[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It will just, it will go away[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And I'd end up standing out there alone[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Trying to do something to[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Support completing the mission[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It got be 2012[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It is not bad for the youth[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It is bad for the world if we fail[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It is not important just for Ugandan people[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It is important for everyone[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It is hard to look back at some parts of human history[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because when we heard about injustice[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We cared[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But we didn’t know what to do[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Too often[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We did nothing[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But it we going to change that[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We have to start somewhere[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So we starting here[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 With Joseph Kony[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because now, we know what to do[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Here it is[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Ready?[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In order for Kony to be arrested this year[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The Ugandan military has to find him[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In order to find him[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They need the technology and training to track him in the vast jungle[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 That where the Americans advisors come in[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But it order for the Americans advisors to be there[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The US government has to deploy them[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They have done that[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But it the government doesn't believe the people care about arresting Kony[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The mission will be cancelled[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In order for the people they care, they have to know.[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is the dream[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Knoy arrested for all the world to see[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a lot of people feel powerless to communicate their ideas 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they think that ok you know i'm not a corporation 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I don't own my own magazine or news station 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I just don't have any say 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but seeing what I've done [br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I think it's empowered a lot of people to realize that one individual 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 can make an impact 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I actually want to demystify 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and say here are these really simple tools : 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 go out and rock it. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And that's just what we intend to do.[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 our goal is to change the conversation of our culture 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and get people to ask who is Joseph Kony 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We've printed hundreds of
