Assyrians right to vote

Target:

President Barack Obama

Sponsored by:

We the undersigned, respectfully request that Assyrians have an opportunity to vote throughout the world in this upcoming Iraqi National Election. The Assyrians are the indigenous people of Iraq, and most of them were forced to relocate worldwide due to persecution caused by the invasion of Iraq. It is for this reason that Assyrians should be given the right to vote in diaspora. Please take this into consideration. Thank you for your time.

For one of the world's most under-appreciated groups of people. Perhaps for once we will get the deserved compensation for the hardships our ancestors have suffered.

This is of upmost importance to Assyrians residing in their homeland and for the millions of Assyrians scattered worldwide. No one should be forced to flee their homeland. The right to vote overseas will help give Assyrians of Iraq some sort of stabililty and voice which is in dire need right now.

I am a descendant of a Assyrian family that was executed during war times... I know enough about my heritage that I believe we should have a right to vote..

All Assyrians in Diaspora should have the right to vote in the Iraqi National elections. They have been driven out of their homeland by the persecution committed against them. They are the rightful owners of that land; they should at least have their say in the elections!

An election which excludes those who have sought refuge in another jurisdiction due to political unrest cannot ever be considered truly democratic!

The same reasons we have as the Israels had when they wanted there own country. The UN helped them and we are asking for the same, we are a nationality that has all the right moral values and teachings but dont have a place to call "home". Assyrians have been persecuted since WW1, its time people know what they Assyrians have done for this world because without them, we would not be where we are today!

by virtue of democracy, let us be heard!

Of course the natives of the land, the Assyrians, that have been driven out of their home due to the long term war and prior to that, the years of suffering due to sanctions, should indeed be heard. Their voices should count. Please consider this petition and our signature. Thank you, Ninva Bedjan
