The National Change Current, a political party formed February to support the Syrian uprising against the Assad regime, has registered as a U.S. lobbyist on behalf of the “people of Syria.”
NCC says its mission is to “support peace and democracy by speaking with U.S. government officials and asking for assistance.” That outreach will be via phone calls, emails, press conferences and face-to-face meetings. The majority of its activities will be PR-related.
The party calls the uprising a “civilized and moral revolution against injustice, tyranny and abuse of human dignity” carried out by young Syrians of different ethnic, sectarian and religious backgrounds.
It runs the www.nccsy.com site to keep people updated on political developments, anti-government demonstrations/rallies, sanctions and various massacres/executions carried out by Assad’s forces. |
