    ANC-PAC: NOVEMBER 2ND AN ARMENIAN AMERICAN REFERENDUM ON OBAMA

    The Armenian National Committee - Political Action Committee issued
    an announcement late last week on the upcoming mid-term Congressional
    elections, slated for November 2, describing it as an Armenian-American
    referendum on President Barack Obama's broken pledge to recognize the
    Armenian Genocide. We present the complete text of the statement below.

    May 27, 2010

    As we approach what promises to be among the most competitive mid-term
    Congressional elections in recent memory, it's increasingly clear to
    the Armenian National Committee PAC (ANC-PAC) and all Armenian American
    leadership groups that voters of Armenian heritage see November 2nd,
    first and foremost, as a referendum on President Obama's broken pledge
    to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

    There is today, among Armenian Americans at the leadership and
    grassroots levels, a growing sense of anger at having been lied to by
    the President and, fairly or unfairly, an equally strong feeling of
    frustration with a Democratic Congress whose leadership has failed to
    deliver the results it has been promising to our community for decades.

    As a result, Armenian Americans are eager - perhaps more so than any
    other single ethnic constituency - to hold the President accountable,
    not only for breaking his promises or for actively opposing foreign
    policy issues of special concern to Armenian Americans, but also for
    demonstrating an open disregard for the civic participation of the
    very same Armenian American community that he courted so aggressively
    as a candidate.

    Even as we encourage Armenian Americans to vote based on the actual
    track records of each individual candidate - Democratic or Republican -
    we are today operating within a strongly anti-incumbent U.S.

    political environment and a grassroots Armenian American constituency
    that is powerfully motivated to send a very direct message to
    Washington this November.

    November 2nd will clearly be an Armenian American referendum on
    President Obama. How that referendum turns out - and its impact on
    the Congressional election - will depend on whether President Obama,
    in the weeks leading up to Election Day, decides to revisit his broken
    pledge and honor his commitments to Armenian American voters. The
    choice is his. We, and the community we represent, will be watching.

    The ANC-PAC is a non-partisan federally registered political action
    committee established to support campaign committees for Members of
    Congress who share the values of the Armenian American community. The
    ANC-PAC is at the forefront of efforts to ensure that the voice of the
    Armenian American community is clearly heard in our nation's capital.

    The ANC-PAC continues a century old tradition of Armenian American
    engagement on the public policy issues facing national political
    leaders, both in the U.S. Congress and the White House. For more
