Just wanted to let you all know that I'm going to the How It Ends conference in Washington DC next week to learn about ending the war in Uganda (it's sponsored by Invisible Children, Resolve Uganda, and the Enough Project). If anyone is interested, they are actually broadcasting it online at www.howitends.tv . They are going to have some pretty awesome speakers on Monday morning, we are meeting with congressmen Tuesday, and then there is a concert Tuesday afternoon; check it out if you can. Also, if you are feeling particularly politically active, call your congressmen and ask them to consponsor the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act (Senate Resolution 1067 and House Resolution 2478). You can read the bill online, but the main focus is to require the Obama administration to come up with a plan to work with other nations to end the war and rebuild the communities. Good stuff. Let's make sure it passes.
If any of you are ever in Chattanooga, give me a call. 423-605-5165. I feel like a jerk for not keeping in touch with most of you, but I do care about you and hope you're doing well.
