"No role in history could be more difficult or more important. We stand for freedom."

"I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things. Not because they are east, but because they are hard. Because that challenge is one we're willing to accept, and one we intend to win." - JFK (1961)

When I accepted the internship at Invisible Children this past July, I had no idea that I would be fighting towards a mission that so many would call impossible, but the funny thing is, I'm not complaining.

This fall at Invisible Children, we're going for the moon. We believe that ending the war in northern Uganda, and boarding countries is OUR MOONSHOT of the decade. We know we can do it, and we're offering you three ways to help us accomplish the impossible.

1. WE WANT OBAMA. We're calling on President Barack Obama to make a public statement by Christmas, and committing the United States to ending the war, and committing to the recovery of Uganda. Sign the CITIZENS ARREST WARRANT BY CLICKING HERE.

2. JOIN TRI. TRI is simple. Donate $3 a week to rescue the child soldiers. Its a coffee. Its a bag of chips. Sign up at www.invisiblechildren.com/tri If you sign up for TRI, we'll even give you the new activist journal, and two shirts for free.

3. JOIN SCHOOLS FOR SCHOOLS. Start a club, raise some money, and rebuild war torn schools in northern Uganda. Sign your school up at www.s4s.invisiblechildren.com


There you have. Let's get to the moon.

P.S.- Last week at tour launch, there was a full moon. Was that a sign from God? I think so.
