With more than a majority of the full US House of Representatives
already agreeing to cosponsor the Armenian Genocide Resolution,
H.Res.106, on July 23 Armenian Americans from across the United States
are set to take part in a second National Call-in Day to press for
a Congressional vote on this human rights legislation, reported the
Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
"Building on the success of our first national call in day in helping
us top the 218 mark, this second round of nation-wide grassroots
activism aims to have this anti-genocide measure brought to the House
floor for a vote at the first opportunity," said Aram Hamparian,
Executive Director of the ANCA.
Currently, the Armenian Genocide Resolution, H.Res.106, has over 220
cosponsors, more than 50% of the membership of the US House. Supporters
of the Resolution who are interested in participating in the Call-in
campaign can learn more by visiting the ANCA website:
Based on the caller’s ZIP Code, the 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.
