ANCA...Kick Out Congressman Cohen!

Dear All: Steve Cohen and Nikki Tinker. They're from Memphis, Tennessee. Far from you and me and most Armenian Americans. But they're front and center in our fight for the Armenian Cause. Last October, Rep. Steve Cohen (right) joined with Reps. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), Turkish Caucus CoChair Robert Wexler (D-FL), and John Tanner (D-TN) in a Capitol Hill press conference AGAINST the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H.Res.106) (Photo: The New York Times, October 18, 2007) Donate to Nikki Tinker for Congress TODAY! Since being first elected in 2006, Cohen has fought against the Armenian Genocide Resolution. He's actually held a Capitol Hill press conference to stop this legislation. It's unclear why he's Turkey's apologist. What's clear is that anyone willing to cover-up genocide is unfit to hold office. It's also clear that the longer he stays the more he gains seniority. That's the bad news. Here's the good news. Cohen's is one of the most vulnerable members of the U.S. House. All the experts put him at the top of the endangered incumbents list. Memphis Congressional Candidate Nikki Tinker with ANC Tennessee activist Dany Beylerian Donate to Nikki Tinker for Congress TODAY! Which brings us to Nikki Tinker - a principled, talented and devoted community leader, with an exemplary record of public service. She has pledged to fight for Armenian Genocide recognition, to help Nagorno Karabagh, and support Armenia. (See her ANCA Questionnaire response) She is mounting a powerful challenge to Cohen in the August 7th Democratic primary and, with your secure on-line donation, will replace him in Congress. I'm especially proud to say that she has the enthusiastic support of former NFL lineman Rien Vartan Long, a devoted Armenian American who has played for the Tennessee Titans. Defeating Cohen will send a powerful message to deniers in Washington that their days of kow-towing to a foreign government and covering up mass murder are quickly coming to an end.
