President Barack Obama has signed law law S. 2318, the Department of State Rewards Program Update and Technical Corrections Act of 2012. This law states that monetary rewards will be given to people who have important information on foreign accused of international crimes and individuals involved in transnational organized crime. The top target? Joseph Knoy, warlord of Africa. We have all seen the video, Kony 2012. And the makers of the video have finally gotten a step closer to what they wanted. They got the government to do something about it. Althought the motives of these film makers were being questioned by some, the fact is, President Obama has done something about Kony. Now, this is only a step but I think it's a big imporvement. As President Woodrow Wilson said, a threat to democracy in one place, is a threat to democracy everywhere.
