Yes Sero I am glad you put it out here. I called that number this morning and gave my message to the person who answered it. It would be good if more people called as well.

Re: Call Obama for Genocide Recognition!!!

Thank you Anoush jan. What did they say to you when you called?

The person told me it was Obamas choice whether to accept it or not. I told him history isn't a choice.

I don't see the point. I bet the Turks are on the other end of the line taking notes...

Re: Call Obama for Genocide Recognition!!!

Yes, I think every Armenian should call.
Maybe then it will get to the head of Obama, that were not
just satisfied by him saying he'll recogonise the genocide, when
so far he hasn't done crap.

Thank you Anoush jan. What did they say to you when you called?

The person told me it was Obamas choice whether to accept it or not. I told him history isn't a choice.

Actually I thank you as well Sero jan. First I gave my full name when I called then I asked her name, then she said names are not necessary; then I recited the script, then we both said thank you and ended the conversation.

I also called a Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson yesterday morning who is a US Representative from Texas who Attacks Armenian Genocide Resolution.

Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, an eight-term legislator from Dallas, Texas, is attacking U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide as a "one-sided" view of a "historic dispute."

In a letter circulated on February 25th to all 434 of her House colleagues, she dismissed the Armenian Genocide as an "inter-communal war".

If you would all please call her office to politely share your concerns.

(202) 225-8885
Office of The Honorable Eddie Bernice Johnson
(call between 9am & 5pm)

Ask for: to leave a message for the Congresswoman.

Talking
Points:
1) Hello, my name is (FULL NAME) and I am calling to say I'm troubled by the Congresswoman's recent letter in opposition to Armenian Genocide recognition.

2) Her letter is factually wrong and morally flawed.

3) The Armenian Genocide is settled history. All serious genocide scholars have called on Congress to pass this measure. In fact, the only deniers left are the Turkish government and its Washington lobbyists.

4) The ability of genocidal regimes, like Sudan, to continue killing innocent people is strengthened every time America fails to take a stand against all genocides, past and present.

5) Please ask the Congresswoman to reconsider her stand.

6) Thank you.


Please all just be polite and simply make your calls to be effective in your mission. Thank you.

Dear members, there's another more effective means of enlightening this Eddie Bernice Johnson congresswoman who seems to be unaware of the Genocide. We could e-mail her with a great deal of Genocidal pictures and if some people have stories to tell, they can also do that and I think that'll be just as much and even more effective to make her aware of the reality.

Merci for the number Anoush jan I'll be sure to call. I don't think it's a good idea to email her because you'll be wasting your time with the emails. She can just delete it without looking at it.

I believe calling them endlessly with recited scripts or e-mailing them with images is going to make them ignore us even more. Ideally, we shouldn't even have to call. Unfortunently, I'm being realistic.
