Press Release
ACTION ITEM
Senator Nighthorse Campbell, Co-Chairman of the Helsinki Commission, has written a "Dear Colleague" letter in support of the Ukrainian Famine resolution (S. Res. 202), which he introduced last session and which clearly labels the Famine a "genocide."
Senators from states having a significant number of Ukrainian voters co-sponsored the resolution, but those in other states have not. It is critical, therefore, that Ukrainians in all such states call and/or write their Senators, urging them to co-sponsor Senate Resolution 202. It is imperative for those who know Ukrainian-Americans or who have American friends in states whose Senators have not yet signed up to call those people and have them contact their Senators to solicit their support for S. Res. 202.
Ukrainians and their supporters are also urged to call Senator Richard G. Lugar (R-IN) [senator_lugar@lugar.senate.gov, 202-224-4814], chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to persuade him of the urgency of the adoption of this Resolution.
The 28 Senate co-sponsors include BOTH Senators from the following states
