More Calls Needed to Pass Genocide Resolution

Dear Friends,

The Bay Area Armenian National Committee held a community briefing Sunday regarding the Armenian Genocide Resolution (HR106). ANC representatives provided over 100 activists in attendance the latest developments in this effort. After the briefing, activists began calling members of Congress to urge their support for H.Res.106.

More Calls are Needed to Members of Congress

We urge you to call and write your representative and ALL other Bay Area Congressional members. This needs to be a forceful and sustained effort until the Armenian Genocide Resolution is passed, so please make an effort to repeat these phone calls daily. Hand-written letters make a powerful impression, and all letters should be faxed to avoid delay in delivery.

Your call/letter can be very brief and, in your own words, should state that:

1. You appreciate the representative's support for the Armenian Genocide Resolution, HR106

2. You encourage him/her to stand firm in his/her support

3. You ask that he/she speak out publicly in favor of the resolution

4. You urge him/her to ask other members of Congress to support the resolution.
