 Support among senators for the resolution came about after the release of the Kony 2012 video and its subsequent popularity . One of the resolution leaders , Senator Chris Coons , became aware of the situation after his daughters asked him what he was doing to stop Kony and Senator Roy Blunt was informed " at a Missouri caucus in St. Louis when a constituent quizzed him about Kony " . One of the co @-@ sponsors of the resolution , Senator Lindsey Graham , stated that , " When you get 100 million Americans looking at something , you will get our attention . This YouTube sensation is gonna help the Congress be more aggressive and will do more to lead to his demise than all other action combined . "
