Success on the Hill!!! Armenians claim another victory today.

Update: As I posted before, H.Res. 193 was introduced last month commemorating the 15th anniversary of the US implementation of the Genocide Convention. Of course, the wording includes mention of the Armenian Genocide. So we received word less than 48 hours ago that the resolution was going to be up for mark up and a vote by the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday (today). In other words, the office has been a mad house the last couple of days. Phone calls and volunteers flooded these walls. Very exciting.

This morning, we went to the Juduciary Committee hearing and just as I blinked, there was a vote that received no nays. It happened so quickly I didn't even realize it until they moved onto the next subject and we were walking out the door. Thank God I caught it on video, because otherwise, I wouldn't have been so sure it happened. The resolution passed as is. I'm actually a little disappointed, as I was all prepared for a blood bath fight, kinda like a good ol' episode of Jerry Springer, Congress style. But I'll take the win!
