Happy Easter

The Estopinan Group is happy to share these articles from Vida Y Exito a premier publication for Central America and an article from The Sun paper in the United Kingdom.  These articles provide insight to our families efforts in advocating for those with rare diseases and creating health conscious awareness.

     These article reflects the many changes and improvements in our sons life due to years of taking experimental medications.  These medications play a vital role in Art Jr's life and in his daily progress.  Charlie 's parents reached out to us for help, their son has a similar rare disease in the UK.  However their laws are different- the Judge has ruled against the trial of these medications and in favor of removing all technologies keeping him alive.

    Our Easter and Passover message is asking our British friends to rule in favor of a three-month trial as an Easter gift; giving Charlie a chance to fight for his life.  We also plea that the Queen Elizabeth have compassion toward this unique case: #CharlieFights

NRCC March Dinner

Washington DC: The National Republican Congressional Committee raised $30 million at last nights event. It was a truly historic evening for me to attend the V.I.P. Reception with my partners at Washington Strategy LLC.
President Trump was the guest speaker at the Keynote Dinner. He spoke about tax reform for economic growth, and he is persuasive in directing U.S. companies to keep their jobs in the U.S. He also discussed new frontiers in science and technology.
A new era of American Greatness is around the corner and the time for action is NOW. We need to stand together, United as Americans. Safety, prospertiy and peace!

Violations Increase In Turkey After Attempted Coup

We must take action against deteriorating the Human Rights in Turkey under the current President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.  The US State Department released its 2016 annual report : "Human Rights in Turkey".   The report identifies the most significant human rights problems.  Here are the top four concerns:  

1) Inconsistent access to due process: State of emergencies called due to the allowed suspension of some due process protections for terrorist group suspects.  

2) Government interference with freedom of expression: The governments new restriction include freedom of expression, media or internet.  These restrictions intensify the pressure of media to release these new limitations.  

3) Inadequate protection of civilians: In fighting the terrorist PKK, government security fails to focus on the safety for civilians.
 
4) Overcrowded prisons: compounded by the influx of tens of thousands of new prisoners after the coup attempt.
