i just wanna say somethin to "revolutionforamerica" ... HUH??? i havent heard many liberal criticize bush cause he spent money on the war (not enough to stereoptype!)... not EVERYONE is obsessed with money... isnt it possible that the reason we were against the war is cuz its killing people?!? Iraqi's and americans alike... its amazing how the murder in war is so easily overlooked. money... gah!
I really admire Invisible Children's ability to catch the attention of so many young activists and the ability to gain support of this important issue in such an effective way that raises awareness AND approaches the government with a solution. So inspiring!
awesome another bill for the american tax payers!
and im sure u all criticized bush for spending money for the war in iraq. liberal hypocrites
Being at the Invisible Children rally in LA several months ago was a life changing experience. To be around so many passionate people who care so much about a cause in a thoughtful and intelligent way was infectious.
Great work all you kids! Don't stop until you have peace for the children of Uganda!
