The San Diego ANC met with the Congressional District Office of
Congressman Brian Bilbray on March 12, 2007. Preceding this meeting,
the San Diego ANC engaged the community by preparing letters
to Rep. Bilbray voicing concerns regarding the Armenian Genocide
Resolution. Next, members of the Armenian American community of the
Greater San Diego area traveled to Rep. Bilbray’s district office to
discuss the Armenian Genocide Resolution and other issues of concern
to local constituents.

Within one day of the meeting, the Congressman communicated his
support for the Armenian Genocide Resolution. "This meeting with
Congressman Bilbray’s office allowed us to present a united front
of support for H. Res. 106 – we need to make sure that the Armenian
Genocide is properly recognized by Congress, " stated ANC activist
Edik Ismaelyan. "During the meeting, each attendee expressed an
individual perspective on the Armenian Genocide Resolution and the
Congressman’s office greatly appreciated our visit. We look forward
to working with Congressman Bilbray here in his district," added ANC
activist Rob Deranian.

46 of the 53 Congressmen from California have signed on as cosponsors
to H. Res. 106.
