SENATE AND HOUSE LEADERS STEP UP TO THE PLATE
FOR YOUTH CHARITIES
ANCA Interns Attend 44th Annual Roll Call Congressional Baseball
Game
WASHINGTON, DC - ANCA 2005 Leo Sarkisian Summer interns cheered on
pro-Armenia Senate and House members at the 44th Annual Roll Call
Congressional Baseball game held on June 23rd. Both House and
Senate representatives played seven innings of baseball "Hill"
style - Democrats vs. Republicans at the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial
Stadium, finishing with a GOP victory of 19-11.
Waving red, blue and orange signs, the interns rooted for last
year's Armenian Genocide resolution lead sponsor, Senator John
Ensign (R-NV), who pitched a masterful game for the Republicans.
The ANCA delegation also applauded the athletic prowess of Reps.
Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) and Anthony Weiner (D-NY), both of who
have received "A" ratings from the ANCA.
"Call it what you want - the Reds vs. the Blues, Democrats vs.
Republicans, the donkeys vs. the elephants, but for the 5,632
staffers and interns in attendance it was a bi-partisan effort that
raised $110,000 for some great causes - the Washington Literacy
Council and the Metropolitan Police Boys and Girls Clubs," said
ANCA Leo Sarkisian Summer Intern Coordinator Megan Young. "It was
a fun opportunity to cheer on our Congressional supporters."
