Dear editor:

First let me start by saying, Elise, great article on Kony. I completely agree with every point you have brought up and I myself have dropped off the bandwagon in this latest Joseph Kony arrest effort because I felt like a hypocrite.

I have so many friends who are completely into what Invisible Children stands for. Even I have gone and done demonstrations and done my best to raise awareness for the causes Invisible Children has brought forth. There is nothing wrong with this decision to support such a cause.

But, and there always is a but, everyone who is calling for Joseph Kony’s arrest is simply calling for his arrest. Doing the bare minimun to raise awareness. I have an idea, how about instead of liking Facebook statuses, and sharing articles about the subject, let us as American people actually do something! Let’s go and and make more videos; let’s have pickets in front of INTERPOL. DO SOMETHING!

I firmly believe that just reading an article about Joseph Kony and agreeing with the written points that members of Invisible Children have written. But doing nothing besides reading it is completely and utterly wrong. If you say you want to have Joseph Kony and the LRA brought to justice DO SOMETHING!

If you really want Child Soldiers to be released from their captivity, find a way to make it possible, start a cause of your own and partner with IC, or open up a fund to have them brought to America. Create an organization to help them get somewhere safe, pay for them to attend school, get new clothing, partner with a friend like World Vision does. DO SOMETHING!

If you really want Joseph Kony arrested sign petitions, raise more awareness, and actually get off your butts and do something about it. If you want IC’s original dream, and reason for starting this cause to come to reality, spring into action! DO SOMETHING!

Stop watching aimlessly from the sidelines and get involved! If you want to buy a shirt, there are plenty of places that have cool clothes, if you want to support Invisible Children I don’t believe that buying a shirt is the way to go. I believe that being consistent with your giving to the cause would be better, but I still firmly, and with one hundred percent honesty, I believe that if you want to jump on board, you should DO SOMETHING!

Bring on the Scrutiny, but if you just want to skate by doing the bare minimun but say you support something, then shame on you. If you call yourself a follower of Christ and do the bare minimun to serve God, a man who died for our sins, it literally is a perfect parallel to this cause. Calling yourself something you aren’t living out is disrespectful and wrong.

I pray that we as followers of Christ would provide relief in action in multiple causes in this life.
