Armenian Americans Played Vital Role in November ElectionNovember 16, 2006 - 12:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "We are tremendously proud of the vital and energetic role that Armenian Americans played this election season - a watershed transition of Congressional power that holds great meaning for our community's legislative agenda," ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter."On the House side, we certainly welcome the fall from power of Dennis Hastert - who, as Speaker, prevented a bipartisan majority of his colleagues from voting for U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide - and his expected replacement by Nancy Pelosi, who has a strong record in support of Armenian American issues. On the Senate side, even as we await the final outcome, we are very gratified by the victory in New Jersey of Senator Bob Menendez - our top electoral priority this election season. Inspired by his principled stand against the Hoagland nomination, Armenian Americans throughout the Garden State - led by the ANC of New Jersey - truly came through for the Menendez campaign, delivering volunteers, campaign contributions, and, most importantly, tens of thousands of votes in support of his electoral victory," added Hamparian.
