ON THE ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE: HUNGER STRIKE FOR DEMOCRACY
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/4/prweb10589127.htm
Ara K. Manoogian, a human rights activist from Burbank, California,
is embarking on a week-long, cross-country road trip to Washington,
D.C., beginning April 2, 2013, the 17th day of his hunger strike, and
culminating his protest in front of the White House on April 9, 2013.
"I would like to congratulate you on your reelection as President
of the Republic of Armenia. I look forward to continuing our work
together as we both begin our second terms." - President Barack Obama,
2 March 2013 Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) April 02, 2013
Ara K. Manoogian, a human rights activist from Burbank, California, is
embarking on a week-long, cross-country road trip to Washington, D.C.,
beginning on April 2, 2013, the 17th day of his protest hunger strike.
Manoogian articulated his opinion forcefully in an open letter to the
President, and intends to culminate his hunger strike in front of the
White House on April 9, 2013, in anticipation of promised responses
from President Obama and the State Department.
During his trip across the nation, Manoogian aims to share his
viewpoints with the American public. Heading eastward from Los Angeles
to Washington, D.C., community stops will include public meetings in
cities and towns of ten states and the District of Columbia. The trip
ending in the nation's capital, as well as the gatherings held with
local residents in various locations along the way, will be featured
in a documentary entitled "One-Dollar Democracy", which is intended
to further enlighten, inform and empower the American public.
It is Manoogian's opinion that Obama's congratulatory letter to Serzh
Sargsyan regarding his re-election for a second term as President
of the Republic of Armenia provides convincing evidence that his
communication was premature, having been sent12 days after the polls
were closed on February 18, 2013, and despite the fraud documented
by official international observers, including the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). According to Manoogian's
perspective, the widespread and well-documented election fraud
was committed to ensure Sargsyan's second term in office, allowing
Sargsyan to willfully claim electoral legitimacy. The full text of
President Obama's congratulatory message was posted in an official
press release dated March 2, 2013, and is available on the website
'President of the Republic of Armenia.' Another instance supporting
Manoogian's point of view is U.S.
Ambassador to Armenia, Marie L. Yovanovitch's unredacted and classified
report, titled 'The Business of Politics: Leading Enterprises of
Political Elites', reported on Wikileaks on September 1, 2011, and
available online. In this report, Yovanovitch states," ... Broadly
speaking, almost all the most lucrative sectors and enterprises
are divided into one of two major political/economic pyramids: one
headed by President Serzh Sargsian [sic] and the other by ex-President
Robert Kocharian."
