ANCA Election 2016Take two minutes to ask each of the
major Presidential candidates to spell out their views on issues of special
concern to Armenian Americans and other pro-Armenia voters. Send them an ANCA
WebMail right now, requesting that they outline their policies on a just
resolution of the Armenian Genocide, a safe future for the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic, the continued growth of U.S.-Armenia Relations, the promotion of
regional peace, and the welfare of Armenians and other Christians in the Middle
East. Statements by candidates raise awareness of our issues and drive media
interest in our community and our cause.
As we make this request for your support, we would also
like to share insights on two important issues:
First, as we all know, voters who follow Armenian
priorities very often also care deeply about many of the other diverse and
pressing issues that concern the rest of American society - ranging from taxes
and spending to healthcare and education. So, for insights on these other
domestic and foreign policy issues, please remain engaged with civil society
groups and lobbies that focus on each of these areas. The ANCA, as our name
would indicate, will focus on the Armenian issues.
Second, in seeking, as we should, the views of
politicians on Armenian issues, we are, of course, reminded of the often
irresponsible and even deceitful conduct of past candidates and, more broadly,
the fundamental difference between campaigning and governing within the context
of the American political system. We should be neither so naive as to believe
all we are told, nor so cynical that we retreat from electoral politics, for
the quadrennial Presidential campaign remains the central arena of American
democracy - the battleground, as rugged and even rigged as it so often seems -
upon which we must advance our agenda and will ultimately realize our
aspirations.
Thank you for your support for our outreach during the
Presidential campaign. As always, the ANCA welcomes your insights and feedback
on any of the candidates. Just drop us a note at ideas@anca.org, or, if you
would like, complete our ANCA Presidential Preference Survey.
