It's 11:04 pm - and it's clear now that Obama has won.

It was a hard-fought battle between two good men - but two men with very different views on Armenian issues.

I'm proud of our role in today's results. We endorsed Obama in January when he was fighting an uphill battle for his party's nomination and worked for him right through tonight. We simply couldn't afford another 4 years of anti-Armenian policies.

No matter whom you supported, with the election over, we all want to see truth and justice prevail over Turkey's threats and blackmail.

We're almost there: The President-elect supported Armenian issues in the Senate, has pledged if elected to recognize the Armenian Genocide, and picked a running mate with a 35-year pro-Armenian track record.

We're close to the day when an American President finally ends nearly a century of U.S. complicity in Turkey's denials.

But, starting tomorrow, the full force of the Turkish government will come down like a ton of bricks on Washington.

Turkey's leaders, its lobbyists, and the "usual suspects" in Washington are already out there, using every trick in the book to deliver for Turkey through deceit what they could not win for Ankara at the ballot box.

It's wrong. And I know you won't tolerate it.

That's why I am urgently asking for your renewed support. Please, send a secure online donation now so we can fight back starting tomorrow morning against this tidal wave of Turkish attacks.

Every dollar you send will help us break Turkey's ruthless campaign to delay, derail, and defeat U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Any donation, $75, $100, $250, $500, or $1,000 or more will make a true difference. You've been generous before, please give again today.

Sincerely,


Ken Hachikian
Chairman
