Welcome to the website!

I’m updating you on a couple of things while Bryan is taking a  sabbatical to devote his time to other matters.

This first post is from Kathy Ostrowski, one of the leading pro-life activists in the state of Kansas.  Mary Kay Culp, David Gittrich, and Kathy Ostrowski are the “big three” pro-life activists who have run the Kansas affiliate of National Right to Life.  Bryan has worked closely with all three of them for many years.  You can click here to read about how Kathy Ostrowski practically single-handedly drove Kansas Board of Healing Arts to investigate late term abortionist, George Tiller.   Kathy has frequently sought Bryan’s advice and counsel on pro-life matters.  Her pro-life accomplishments are impressive, and have been the fruit of years of patient, diligent work.  Thanks to such a great friend of our family!  -Anne Brown

Pro-lifers in Kansas, especially myself, sorely miss Bryan Brown!  I
relied a great deal on his Biblically-sound personal advice during my
eventual evolution from volunteer sidewalk counselor to state
legislative director of Kansans for Life. After leaving Kansas to
obtain a law degree from Pat Robert’s Regent University in Virginia,
he achieved significant legal victories as counsel for Don Wildman’s
American Family Association in Mississippi.  I continued to consult
him on occasion on various conservative matters and his contacts
across the nation were fantastic.  We were praying Attorney General
Phill Kline would hire Bryan in 2002– particularly as the late-term
abortion industry threatened a complete takeover of state government–
and were ecstatic when that occurred and Bryan moved his  family to
Topeka. (Anne, Bryan’s wife,  is an exemplary home-schooling mother
and friend, and her mother, Ruth, is a long-time mentor for me.)
Despite any Internet lies to the contrary, Bryan re-sculpted a
successful, ethical consumer division for the Kansas Atty General
office, and was later able to guide Kansans for Life as state legal
counsel during a politically tumultuous time. Our loss is Indiana’s
gain and we hope that pro-lifers, including our NRLC sister chapter,
avail themselves of this treasure, Bryan Brown.

One of the projects Bryan has been working on during his sabbatical is a Patriot’s Town Hall.  Click here for the story on that. Those in Northeast Indiana are invited to Don Hall’s Guest House on Washington Center Road at 7 p.m. on Tuesday evening, September 1st for an old-fashioned Town Hall.

Judge erases 20-year-old judgment against pro-lifer

$350,000 penalty for abortion business’ legal fees canceled

By Bob Unruh

A federal judge has lifted a 20-year-old injunction that regulated pro-life protests at an abortion business in Indiana and as part of the order has canceled a demand that the advocates for life pay the abortionists’ legal fees that had ballooned to $350,000 with interest.

The ruling comes from U.S. District Judge William C. Lee in the case of the Fort Wayne Women’s Health Organization operated by abortionist Ulrich Klopfer and others at 827 Webster Street in Fort Wayne.

The abortionist and several women who never were identified went to court against Northeast Indiana Rescue, Bryan J. Brown and others seeking an order to keep sidewalk counselors away from women entering the abortion business. At the time, a cross-injunction was issued that kept pro-life activists away from the front door of the business and required the business not to interfere with legal protest activities.

And here is another fine journalistic effort on our victory.. this one on the front page, section a, above the fold in Fort Wayne’s liberal paper.

Judge Dismisses Requiring Pro-Life Advocate to Pay Abortion Center’s Legal Bills Fort Wayne, IN — District Judge William Lee signed an order that dismissed a long-standing judgment against two Indiana pro-life advocates bringing about the sudden end to a contentious case nearly 20 years old. Lee’s order dismisses the case of the Fort Wayne Women’s Health Organization abortion center vs. Wendell Brane, Bryan J. Brown, Ellen Brown and Northeast Indiana Rescue. The lawsuit stemmed from the battles between the pro-life advocates and the center. In 1989, three protests at the clinic resulted in 400 arrests after more than 100 people tried to block the building’s doorways. Citing criminal statutes designed to break up organized crime rings, the Fort Wayne Women’s Health Organization, unnamed female plaintiffs and Dr. Ulrich G. Klopfer sued to prevent another protest. In 1990, Lee issued an injunction prohibiting the defendants from obstructing entrance into the Fort Wayne Women’s Health Organization. But at the same time, he also prohibited clinic officials from interfering with the protesters’ lawful activities off clinic property, according to court documents. While the arrangement was agreed upon by both sides, Brane and Bryan Brown ended up with an order forcing them to pay for the attorneys’ fees for the abortion clinic, something they have refused to do for nearly 20 years. What started out as just more than $61,000 nearly two decades ago has ballooned to about $350,000, according to court documents. They won’t have to pay those fees now.

How does one follow up a week like last week?  Federal Judge William C. Lee vacated a judgment that had dogged me (Bryan) for most of my adult life, sorta like Captain Hook was dogged by the ever lurking, ticking crocodile.  My affidavit (click here) explains how and why.

It is not everyday that a $350,000 debt merely vanishes.  Not to mention a debt to one’s mortal enemies.  Imagine MLK, Jr. owing such a debt to the KKK, or Anna Frank’s family being ordered to pay such a debt to the Nazi Party of Amsterdam.   Just like that.

And so now the enormity of the event has caught up to me.   I give God the glory, it was a legal miracle.  Thank you William C. Lee for playing Abraham Lincoln and setting this economic captive free.  And for essentially asking the Indiana authorities why I was not approved into their bar.  (An act that Kansas, Montana, Missouri, the United States Supreme Court and the National Board of Law Examiners had no problem taking, but certainly an act that the abortion industry would never have allowed …..)  Here is Judge Lee’s opinion, compliments of the Alliance Defense Fund.

What to do as an encore?  That will take some time.  I am working on it, but must drop off of the radar for a while to make some things happen and focus on my family.  We have been on a very arduous journey, and my Annie has proved her mettle over and over again.  She has boldly gone where very few wives can go.  She was my great reward for living through the onslaught of the Left in 1990-92, and is yet by my side, the best mother any kid could want, the best wife I could ever have.

And so I must step aside from ArchAngel Institute, from the Donegal Corridor, from all of it for a while.  Please pray for us as we weigh out what is next and attempt to determine what our Heavenly Father would have me do to support my lovely wife and five beautiful children.  The Indiana Board of Law Examiners has ensured that I cannot support them by plying my trade — so I must find another path, and find it soon.

I am turning in my keys to this site and the archangelinstitute@gmail.com.   The ArchAngel Institute Board will have to appoint another gatekeeper here.  Send any guest posts or applications to be just that to the above address.  The Board welcomes visiting posters.  Please send posts in for the Board to consider, posts that build upon the themes already found at this site.

Posts that would fall into a category on the right.

If you need a primer, I have gathered some fine introductory posts in the category “an introduction.”   Other categories are pretty much self-explanatory as to content.   “Michael” is governmental or legal, “Raphael” is post-abortion or commemorative, “Gabriel” is the communicating of the Gospel of  Life.  “Swansong” is my resignation from pro-life leadership.  (I remain pro-life, but have serious concerns about whether the pro-life leadership, as it has existed since the 70’s, is truly focused upon the big picture.  Christendom has been under relentless attack for centuries now, and is threatened with collapse in our lifetime.  This battle is winner takes all.  It is so much larger than abortion or fundraising or increasing the GOP’s marketshare.)

The “whirlwinds” are posts presenting evidence that, to quote the President’s preacher, ”America’s chickens are coming home to roost.”  It is not unAmerican to make note of that lesson in Natural Law, no matter what Nancy Pelosi spews forth.   The most pressing category in this critical hour may be “refuse, resist or rebel.”  As the previous posts of this week reveal, I am concerned that machinations are now in play that may bring our constitutional republic to an end.  We truly live in interesting times  — to say the least.  May we all belly up to the bar and prove ourselves worthy of the Blood shed to buy us  — if that be possible.

“Tea partying” recounts our successful July 4 commemoration (click for a great participant’s review) of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and is a fine source of patriotic quotes.  “Great dissidents” is encouragement to stand on the solid Rock and pay even the ultimate price if it be demanded of you.

So this, after a good long run, is goodbye for now.  I hope to return to post here again in the future, but truly do not know what the future holds for me and my family.  Please pray for us and please help the ArchAngel Institute Board by submitting guest posts to archangelinstitute@gmail.org.  I am now no longer on the ArchAngel Board (that happened last summer, this post) , no longer the Executive Director (as of last January, this post) and no longer the lead volunteer (as 0f this week).  There is, to quote one of my favorite Christian bands, a “fearful symmetry” to it all.

Please help the Institute as you can while I turn to other pressing matters that simply must be addressed.  I hope to rejoin the mission in the future, but must implore my friends to now pitch in and take up some of the slack.

For God and Country,

Bryan J. Brown
