45 out of 50 states. Now Iowa, Indiana, Alabama, Missisipi an ld I believe Washington DC left to go.
When 14 (initially) out of 50 states have adopted resolutions allowing same-sex marriages, the federal government of this inimitable country was quick to adopt an identical law on the federal level. But when 45 out of 50 states adopt a resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide, the federal government doesn’t turn a hair. Is this your democracy, America the Beautiful, America the Great? Ugh…
Ignoring the fact that 45 democratic states voted to independently recognize the genocide…
So, why aren’t each and every one of us reaching out to the states that yet don’t recognize? Please provide phone numbers, as well as e mail addresses, along w/sample scripts to do so.
U.S. has many ties with turkey. I’m also appalled at Israel for not acknowledging the genocide. Can’t say I’m surprised though.
