ANCA "End the Gag Rule" campaign hits Capitol Hill

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian National Committee of America's (ANCA) nationwide "End the Gag Rule" campaign has gone to Capitol Hill, highlighting the unacceptability of Turkey's use of threats and intimidation to veto U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide, ANCA Communications Director Elizabeth Chouldjian told PanARMENIAN.Net



The campaign includes coordinated grassroots activism, focused Congressional outreach, and an unprecedented series of compelling print and on-line advertisements in Capitol Hill websites and publications. The ads, which serve as the centerpiece of the campaign, feature a powerful image of the Statue of Liberty with a Turkish flag gag over her mouth, symbolizing Turkey's efforts to silence America's proud and principled advocacy of human rights.



Full page print ads appeared on April 23rd and 24th in Roll Call, The Hill, and Congressional Quarterly's CQ Today, and on-line ads are appearing, through all of April and May, on a rotating basis, on the following websites targeting Members of Congress and the broader Washington, DC public policy community.
