2 - The Savannah Tribune • Wednesday, March 10, 2010 SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY NEWS Obama Sets Deadline On Health Care Reform President Barack Obama WASHINGTON (NNPA) - President Obama hopes to see his controversial health care reform bill approved by March 18, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has said. According to thehill.com, Gibbs said sweeping health care reform should move through Congress before the president leaves for a trip to Australia and Indonesia. "We're leaving on March 18 and we believe that we're on schedule, based on our conversations that have been had with the Speaker of the House and the majority leader, that we're on schedule to get something done before we leave," Gibbs said. The press secretary said Obama hopes the House will pass the Senate's primary health care bill by that date, with a final bill to be signed by Easter. Because Obama's recent bipartisan health care reform summit failed to provoke any Republican converts, Democrats are turning to a political process called recon ciliation, which would side step the need for Republican support. The process would allow the Democratic-majori ty Congress to approve Obama's proposed health care reform with a simple majori ty vote.

Invisible Children Legacy Tour On March 21 The Lake Church in Savannah will be hosting The Legacy Tour from Invisible Children, a non-profit film studio dedi cated to ending the longest running war in Africa. They will be sending representatives from their organization along with native Ugandans to Savannah to talk about the war and to plan out a way to end it. Since the late 80's over 30,000 children in Uganda have been abducted and forced to join a rebel army led by a man named Joseph Kony. For over 2 decades the world sat by and did nothing as he abducted the kids and trained them to be soldiers. In 2003 a group of three young filmmakers traveled to Africa and stumbled upon the story. They filmed what they saw, followed some for mer abductees, and filmed the lives of the children who fear being abducted. They brought the footage back to the United States and made a rough-cut-film they called "Invisible Children". Since then millions of people have seen this film, celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Miley Cyrus, Kristen Bell, Tom Shadyac, Pete Wentz, Ryan Gosling, Benjamin McKenzie, Hayden Panettiere, Jon Turteltaub, and Brady Poppinga have shared their support, and now Invisible Children is a media- based, 501 (c)3 non-profit based out of San Diego, California (with offices in Gulu, Uganda and London, England). We will be hosting this historic event which will include an updated film pro duced by Invisible Children, a time for the Ugandan guests to share, and a question and answer session. This event is free and open to the public.
