Thanks for supporting the Comfort Women House Resolution Petition. I understand that the House subcommittee on Foreign Affairs is going to wait to take action on the Comfort Women Issue -- they're going to wait for Prime Minister Abe's visit April 26-27th. This means that we all have time to spread the word and get well over a thousand people to sign. Please sign the petition supporting House Resolution 121! http://www.gopetition.com/online/11466.html

One month and one day and we have 1514 international signatures.

We're asking everyone who signed the petition to send the link to their Congressperson. We need 100 co-sponsors. When the petition began a month ago, there were 42. Now there are 77. We need to convince Congress to do this!

In solidarity,
M. Evelina Galang
