As a followup to my recent show on Genocide, this is one of what will be many efforts to raise awareness of genocide and put direct pressure to have genocides recognized and the perpetrators brought to justice.

Thank you

Join this calling campaign to the White House and Congress urging them to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

From 1915-1923, 1.5 million Armenian men, women and children were killed by the Ottoman Turkish Government. Since then, Turkey has made it ILLEGAL to talk about the Armenian genocide -- and to make matters worse, the Turkish government has used threats and intimidation -- an internation gag rule-- on speaking out on the genocide.

While a Senator and Presidential candidate, Barack Obama pledged to recognize the Armenian genocide -- but he has since failed to live up to his promise.

Take a look at this short segment from ABC World about the Armenian Genocide, then join our calling campaign to the White House and members of Congress.
