Get Rid Of Wexler

[phantom]

As Armenian-Americans, we have a golden opportunity in the next congressional elections to flex our political muscle. A well-known genocide denier and Co-chair of the Congressional Turkey Caucus, Rober Wexler, will be running in 2008 in the 19th District of Florida. He is one of the most open and virulent deniers of the Armenian-Genocide, and is extremely anti-Armenian in every one of his policies.

 

The man running against Wexler is Ben Graber. He has heavily criticized Wexler for his active denial of the Armenian Genocide. See here for more information about Graber's moral stand on this issue: Graber Criticizes Wexler for Genocide Denial

 

 

I'm not from Florida, but as an Armenia-American, I think it is crucial to our community that we send a message out to all politicians that denying the Genocide will lead to political suicide. This is how the Jewish community operates. They are small, but they put all of their weight against those who oppose their interests. We need to do the same. And we can start by flexing our political muscle against this well-known denier. If Armenians from all across the nation donate their time, money and votes to Graber and help him get elected, this will send an unmistakable message to politicians that denying the Genocide will end their career.

 

So, what should we do:

 

1. If you live in the 19th Congressional District of Florida, register to vote, and vote for Graber against Wexler.

 

2. If you don't live in the 19th Congressional District of Florida, then go to Graber's website and donate money to his campaign so that he can put up a strong and hopefully successful fight against Wexler: Graber's Website

 

I really believe we can make an example out of Wexler, and what a better person to make an example of! This guy really needs to go, and to be able to replace him with someone who appears to deeply believe in recognition of the Genocide is an added bonus, and making an example for other politicians to note, is icing on the cake. Let's do this thing! I've already donated to his campaign.
