Poster from Joseph Kony's Presidential campaign

WASHINGTON, D.C. - As American voters head to the ballot box to decide the next President, a shocking poll released from Rasmussen indicates that Joseph Kony has a commanding lead over President Obama, Mitt Romney, and TDB-endorsed candidate Chaz Boatright.

Kony, a Ugandan guerrilla army leader, is the Presidential nominee from the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) -- a militant political party that has been accused of war crimes -- including the murder of villagers, abduction of children, and numerous violations of campaign finance law.
