Petition Sen. Coburn to release the hold on the Uganda Recovery Act bill

After impassioned lobbying from tens of thousands of activists, historic legislation aimed at ending Africa’s longest-running war is on the verge of passing the Senate unanimously. But Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, nicknamed “Dr. No”, is single-handedly blocking this landmark legislation. Even though the Lord’s Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act has more bipartisan support in Congress than any bill focused on sub-Saharan Africa in American history - and Oklahoma's senior Republican Senator Jim Inhofe is its biggest champion (!!) - Senator Coburn is single-handedly preventing its passage because of funding the bill authorizes to assist victims of the violence.

Please sing the petition!
