House (H. Res. 106) now has over 220 cosponsors. To date, Members of

H. Res. 106. Those cosponsoring the human rights legislation include
Members from California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas,

these meetings, constituents and activists will meet with elected
officials to raise awareness of issues of concern to them in the
community.
