This past Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the historic "LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009." This is huge! The students at Lake Forest and Ocoee Middle Schools are actively participating in history in the making! Every voice counts... and these students sent over 200 personal, hand written letters to Congress, pleading for their passing of this bill. The next step is President Obama's approval...signing the bill into law.
So, what did the students do next? Well, they called the White House! Every class period called the White House comment line on speaker phone to leave a persuasively thoughtful message for President Obama, in hopes that he would hear it and be encouraged to support the bill. We want Obama!
