Press Release
ACTION ALERT!
We have learned that Russian Embassy personnel have sought out high U.S. State Department officials to lobby against the Genocidal Ukrainian Famine Resolution (S. Res. 202) http://www.csce.gov/crs_display.cfm?crs_id=201, introduced by Helsinki Commission Co-Chairman Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-CO)--even though nowhere in the Resolution is there any mention of Russia. We cannot allow this Resolution to be sabotaged by anyone. It is crucial therefore to contact your Senators as soon as possible urging them to co-sponsor the Resolution.
PLEASE JOIN THE CAMPAIGN TO SAVE THIS RESOLUTION!
Call 202-224-3121, the Capitol switchboard, who will forward the call to your Senator's office,
or go online at www.senate.gov to obtain Senators' e-mails.
The following Senators do NOT need to be contacted as they are already cosponsors (although you may wish to contact them to simply thank them for cosponsoring). Senators:
George Voinvoich (R-OH),
Mike DeWine (R-OH);
Richard Durbin (D-IL);
