I am suspicious of anything like this that goes viral. So after a day and a half of seeing every second person put this on facebook I did one search and brought out the truth. Needless to say that all those I know got a lecture on checking their facts and doing some research before supporting anything and also on checking on other people’s/group’s agendas before they give them any money.
Hopefully we might get a few conservatives if they actually do it.

LO AND BEHOLD, when you check out www.charitynavigator.com and other sites that monitor scams, you see that only 28% of funds go to Africa/Uganda, and three (3)!!! members take in the rest as it is distributed to "program costs". Anyways, I checked out some AFRICOM sites and Kony is a has been, and not even in Uganda anymore. Bring him to justice? Yes. Care for those in the warzone? Yes. Give to your church with Africa missions such as UMCOR? Yes. Give to Kony2012? HELL NO!
BTW...when Bill Clinton and Bush "cared" for the plight of Africa, 6mm people died due to our good intentions due to reprisals and tribal retributions centuries old.
