Benjamin L. Cardin: “We stand with Israel and the right to defend themselves.”

To be true to our founding principles we need to support those people trying to defend human rights, those rights endowed to us by our Creator.

I support that, but whether we will ever get to that point, my concern is it is going to be years down the road, and we are going to have another Moldova and another Georgia.

If Putin hates this so much, we're sure that there are a lot of other dictators who would hate this as well.

Freedom House is pleased to support the Human Rights Defenders Protection Act, led by Chairman Cardin.
