Send a free ANCA SmartMail to the your U.S. Representative
The Obama Administration’s kowtowing to Turkey’s genocide denial reached new lows recently with the Washington Post’s revelationthat the White House is refusing to lend a rug, woven by orphaned survivors of the Armenian Genocide, for viewing at the Smithsonian Institute.
The White House had originally agreed to lend the iconic rug, which was a gift to President Calvin Coolidge in recognition of U.S. humanitarian assistance to genocide survivors, but then – without explanation, reversed its decision.
Send a letter to your U.S. Representative to:
1) Press the White House to make the Armenian Genocide Orphan Rug permanently and prominently available for public view;
2) Support U.S. efforts to secure Turkey’s recognition and justice for the Armenian Genocide by cosponsoring the Armenian Genocide resolution, H.Res.227.
