ANCA Throws Community's
Electoral Support Behind Over 140 House and Senate Candidates with Proven Track
Records on Armenian American Issues
The Armenian National
Committee of America (ANCA) has thrown the Armenian American community's
political and electoral strength behind House and Senate candidates from across
more than 30 states with proven track records of support on issues of special
concern to both Armenian Americans and friends of Armenia.
"We are, once again,
gratified to offer our Congressional endorsements as a resource to help
Armenian American voters make informed decisions at the ballot box on November
6th," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "With so many
Senate and House races being hotly contested, we encourage all Armenian Americans
to go to the polls fully armed with all the facts about each candidate's words
and - more importantly - their real-world actions on Armenian American
issues."
The ANCA endorsements are
based primarily on ANCA Congressional Report Cards, a detailed review of each
incumbent's record across a broad range of Armenian American issues. These
Report Cards, prepared in consultation with ANCA Regional offices and local
ANCs across the country, cover issues ranging from securing a just resolution
of the Armenian Genocide and forcing Turkey's return of Armenian and other
Christian religious properties, to strengthening U.S.-Armenia relations,
defending Nagorno Karabakh's independence, and increasing U.S. aid and trade
levels with Armenia.
Among the grading criteria
were each Member's willingness to advance pro-Armenian American legislative
initiatives (resolutions, letters, etc.), including the Armenian Genocide
Resolution, the Return of Churches Resolution, and pro-Armenian provisions of
the foreign aid bill, as well as their support for Nagorno Karabakh. Other
factors include their membership in the Armenian Caucus, attendance at Armenian
civic and community events, and their support for human rights issues related
to Darfur and Cyprus.
The 2012 ANCA Report Cards
include:
* A point-by-point analysis
of each incumbent’s support on key legislation, Congressional “Dear Colleague”
letters, participation and leadership in initiatives and events held in the
nation’s capital and in local communities.
* Congressional Notes
highlighting key initiatives taken by individual House and Senate Members -
from Congressional speeches to other undertakings of special concern to the
Armenian American community.
* A detailed accounting of
Turkish and Azerbaijani Government lobby efforts targeting Senators and
Representatives during the 112th Congress, as reported by the U.S. Department
of Justice Foreign Agent Registration division (www.fara.gov).
