YEREVAN (YERKIR) – With over 220 Members of the U.S. House cosponsoring
the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H.Res.106), thousands of Armenian
Americans and human rights advocates joined together yesterday in
the second Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) "Call for
Justice" campaign urging a swift vote on this human rights legislation,
the ANCA reported.
For the second time in the last 30 days, over 10,000 visited the
ANCA Call-in-Day webpage on July 23rd and more than 2,500 submitted
caller-feedback forms reporting their conversations with Congressional
offices.
"We want to thank everyone who took part in our first Call-In Day –
which helped us reach the 218 mark – and to express our appreciation
to all those who, today, once again raised their voices to see
this measure brought to a vote on the floor of the U.S. House of
Representatives," said Aram Hamparian, Executive Director of the ANCA.
Commenting on the first Call-In Day, Rep. Adam Schiff, the resolution’s
lead author, said: "The ANCA’s national congressional call-in day,
"Call for Justice," is a great demonstration of the power of grassroots
advocacy. These calls are a useful tool in the fight to get the
Armenian Genocide resolution passed. I thank the ANCA and all their
supporters for making these important calls."
