With goal in sight of reaching 218 cosponsors – a majority of the
full US House of Representatives – Armenian Americans from across
the country will take part today in a National Call-in Day for
Congressional passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, reported
the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
Currently, the Armenian Genocide Resolution, H.Res.106, has 211
cosponsors, more than 47% of the membership of the US House.
Based on the caller’s ZIP Code, the ANCA website will provide their
Representative’s phone number and whether they are already a cosponsor
of the Armenian Genocide Resolution. If they are already a supporter,
the caller will be asked to express appreciation and urge him/her to
encourage their House colleague to also cosponsor this legislation. If
they are not a cosponsor, the caller will ask him/her to please
cosponsor this human rights measure.
In most cases (over 80% of the time), a caller will only have the
opportunity to speak to a receptionist, who will take down a brief
message.
In some instances (about 15% of the time), the receptionist will
transfer the caller to the voicemail box of a legislative aide. On rare
occasion (less than 5% of the time), the caller will be transferred
directly to the assistant handling foreign affairs.
