PETITION AGAINST SIX DENIALIST CORPORATIONS
http://www.keghart.com/node/510
1 July 2009
It has come to light that, contrary to their public statements of
being good corporate citizens and champions of human rights, six
American and British mega-corporations have been secretly lobbying
the United States Congress not to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
In the American system, it is customary for corporations to lobby
Congress only on taxes and trade rules related to their specific
businesses. It is however highly unusual and downright shameful for
corporations to do the bidding of their foreign clients.
BAE Systems Inc., Goodrich Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp., Raytheon
Co., United Technologies Corp. and energy producer Chevron Corp are
spending over a million dollars a week to lobby Congress.
The world-wide Armenian community cannot match this level of
expenditure. We can however raise our righteous voice by signing the
petition below. The collected signatures will be hand delivered and
emailed to the corporate heads and key stockholders of these companies.
Make your voice heard today and sign the petition by visiting the
following link! http://www.centerar.org/petition/
We urge you to forward this to as many of your contacts as possible. It
is of utmost importance to spread the word and act against these
denialist corporations.
The more signatures we present to these corporations, the more
importance they give to our cause.
Please contact us at [email protected] or 818-627-2376 for any
questions regarding the following press release.
Thank you,
Center for Armenian Remembrance
