Congress Speaks on LRA

We did it! LRA Bill Passes Congress

In the span of one year, we have made history. In April of 2009, 80,000 of us stood in solidarity with the child soldiers trapped in Joseph Kony’s war. In June, we were two-thousand strong on the lawn of Capitol Hill, asking our leaders to consider the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act. In January of this year, we delivered 253,512 signatures to the State Department in support of Kony’s arrest.

Our tenacity, annoying phone calls, hundreds of local office lobby meetings, and certainly our sleeping bag assaults (Oklahoma) paid off and the bill has been passed. Getting a bill passed through Congress is an enormous accomplishment. In the last session of Congress, only 3% of bills introduced were actually passed. We’ve done the impossible.

Now, it goes to President Obama’s desk to be signed into law.

Haiti Support Raising

Whoo hoo!! I am up to $945 of my support raising!! I am updating my 'thermometer' on my Haiti Blog regularly. I do have to give you a heads up - if you are sending support, I may be a few days longer on my Thank You's. I am going to have Ryan open the support while I am gone and send me regular updates, so I won't be 2 full weeks behind, but it may be a few days longer than I would like. Hopefully by the time I get back I will be closer to my goal!!
