Our thanks to all of the U.S. Representatives who signed the letter to President Obama, urging him to attend a meeting on the LRA with regional governments and other international leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly this fall. We appreciate that our leaders took the initiative by pledging their name, and thereby pledging the belief that together we can make a difference.

The bipartisan letter was drafted by fearless U.S. Representatives Jim McGovern and Ed Royce.

“The world community must continue to focus on capturing Joseph Kony and putting an end to the violence…We are urging the Obama Administration to make this a high priority in the weeks and months ahead.” – Rep. Jim McGovern

“It would be a tragedy if poor cross-border cooperation allowed Joseph Kony and his commanders to slip through the cracks…This bipartisan initiative calls for Presidential leadership – to ensure that all the countries the LRA has plagued are working together to stop the killing.” – Rep. Ed Royce

Thank you to the thousands of supporters that called in and used your voice to more than DOUBLE the number of signatures on the letter.

These are the U.S. Representatives who signed the letter to President Obama. If one of these is your Representative, call and thank them! Everyone likes to feel appreciated.
