Your immediate action is needed to get the Armenian Genocide Resolution passed in Congress. Rep. Tom Lantos, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, has scheduled a vote on the Armenian Genocide Resolution on October 10th. Because of the strong opposition to the resolution, it is very important that we tell House Speaker Nancy Pelosi how much we appreciate her strong support for the resolution, and that we also urge Rep. Lantos to support the resolution.

Over the coming days we will be asking you to take a series of actions to ensure the passage of this resolution.
