Dear Editor,

Blink and you've missed it: Hungary is no longer a democracy.

President János Áder has just signed away the rights of all that was left of Hungary's opposition parties after years of gutting legislative powers, crippling the free press, and eliminating all mention of a "republic" in the country's constitution.

If this trend doesn't sound familiar, here's something to jog your memory: along with criminalization of the homeless and attacks on women and the LGBT community, Hungary's seen a horrific spike in state-sanctioned antisemitism and racism, including the decoration of three men known for their connection to the pro-Nazi Arrow Cross Party.

We've seen the steps Áder's taken before. We know these signs. And while the European Union continues to stay silent, the situation for women, ethnic minorities and religious groups in Hungary becomes deadlier by the second.

Please, join us in calling on the member states to act on Article VII of the EU Treaty, which demands they intervene to prevent any state from being robbed of its democratic freedoms. We still have time to stop Áder's men from stripping Hungary's people of more rights and protections -- but we cannot afford to stay silent for long!

PETITION TO EU MEMBER STATES: We cannot afford to sit by while another European country represses state protections, targets minorities, and spreads anti-Semitism while eliminating free speech. Don't let Hungary go the way of Nazi Germany -- act on Article VII to ensure Hungarians' rights and freedoms!

Click here to sign -- it just takes a second.

Thanks,

Dear Editor, 
Thank you for the 5/20/13 article "What makes America strong". It 
covered what we -as a "national family" 
have heard about: the dramatic escape and rescue of three young women 
in Cleveland, Ohio - who were held captive 
for a decade and of their self-reliance, courage and survival instincts - that tell us that we have it within us to 
endure what might appear to be the "impossible". 
These three young girls were horribly abused by a cruel captor for 10 years in his home but now they are free! 
Their freedom came because a concerned neighbor named Charles Ramsey 
saw one of the girls "trying to get out of the house" he kicked in the 
locked door allowing an escape of the girls including a daughter of one of the girls born in captivity. 
Charles Ramsey was the epitome of "A Good Neighbor" And he made sure 
that these poor abused souls were taken away from the Ohio house of horrors. 
They Survived And We Can Learn From Their 
Fight for Freedom to have Courage: Knowing That Good Always 
Triumphs Over Evil As We Hold Firm To Faith For What Is Good - Being 
Good Neighbors!
