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

From: Kathleen Ostrowski <kathy@ostrowski.cc>

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.

Just like the original participants in Boston over two hundred years
ago, this September patriotic citizens from all walks of life from all
across America are coming together in a huge event that promises to be
historic.  That event is the 9/12 TAXPAYERS’ MARCH ON WASHINGTON DC.
This march is sponsored by countless groups, large and small including
Grassfire, the Patriotic Resistance, the 9/12 groups, FreedomWorks,
hundred of local tea party groups, and many, many others.  Their
battlecry?  TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!

We invite you to join us as we journey to Washington DC for this
important rally.  Here are the details:

We will depart Fort Wayne on a comfortable 56-seat American Heritage
Trails motorcoach, from the Meijer’s store parking lot on Lima Road on
Thursday, September 10th at 9PM sharp.

We will arrive in Washington DC the following morning, September 11th
and check into the Capitol Hilton where we will stay Friday and
Saturday night.  This four-star hotel is just a few blocks from the
White House, close to all the activities and historic sights.

After check-in, the rest of Friday is yours to relax, explore
Washington or attend meetings.  The March will take up most of the day
Saturday.  We will share the exciting event calendar with you as plans
are finalized!

We will depart Washington DC at 9AM Sunday morning, September 13th,
arriving back in Fort Wayne at approximately 12AM.

Cost includes transportation and hotel only and is as follows:

$387 – Single occupancy (one person)

$522 – Double occupancy (two persons)

$730 – Triple occupancy (three persons)

$867 – Quadruple occupancy (four persons)

Due to limited availabiity, we encourage you to make your reservation ASAP!

Stop The Pass Act  S. 1261

It is time to take this ALERT further by calling into national radio
shows today. Making the host and his/her millions of listeners aware
of these issues is another key strategy to killing “The PASS Act”
S.1261″.

Radio Call in Tips:

Tell the host you want to make him aware of an unconstitutional bill,
The PASS ACT, S.1261, in committee in the Senate.

State your opposition points:

1. We are opposed to Real ID and the PASS Act
2.  We are opposed to being enrolled in a Biometric Identification System
3. We don’t want Social Security Numbers in our DMV databases
4.  No RFID chips in our Driver’s Licences
5.  No federal intervention with the issuance of our State driver’s licenses
6. We are not willing to trade our freedom for security.

All of these actions are unconstitutional and a direct attack on our
civil liberties and our unalienable rights.

ArchAngel PS :   Wartch Sharon on the Fort’s public access  Wednesday night, July 8, at 10:00 and 10:30 p.m.. Here is more on why.

Thank you to all of you who have prayed for my husband (Bryan Brown) and family this past month.  I will have an update for you by the end of July – we’re still waiting on some information that will come in on his petition to be admitted to the Indiana bar.   All prayers are needed and appreciated! 

Bryan was recently interviewed by Sharon Kuhn for her local access program, and the two shows will air on Tuesday morning, July 7, 9:30 and 10:00 a.m.  The shows will also air on Wednesday night, July 8, at 10:00 and 10:30 p.m., and July 16, 2:30 p.m.  They can be viewed on mirror stations Comcast 57 and Verizon 27. 
I think you will find these programs interesting and inspirational.  Bryan shares the story of the pro-life rescue days in Fort Wayne in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s.  I did not participate in Fort Wayne’s rescues, but did join in the rescues in Wichita, Kansas, where I later met Bryan.  It was such an exciting time, because the rescues gave the innocent unborn victims of abortion a voice, and also helped bring to light the much needed help for women in unplanned pregnancies.
So many of you who have been praying for us may not know my husband all that well, so I hope you’ll get the chance to watch and learn more about him!  Thank you, and may God bless you!  -Anne Brown

Webmaster’s note: As promised here, Anne has submitted a quite personal article which had to be edited due to certain sensitivities. Material from her submission has been deleted at ***. Nothing has been added to her submission.  This submission follows up on her previous post (here).

Anne chose the art for this posting after much searching on the web. It is Pilate’s wife being warned to have nothing to do with furthering the unjust state execution of an innocent, first century culture warrior who had, in the minds of most all of his contemporaries, gone way too far in his zeal for truth, justice and the way of the Eternal Father. So far that even his seeming and former friends had abandoned him.  See St. John, chapter 6.

Dear friends,

I want to thank any and all of you who have been praying for Bryan and our family! We appreciate and need prayers more than ever, and we are so grateful for them!

Bryan had his hearing on June 1^st ***. At the beginning of the meeting, before Bryan even gave his presentation, it was announced to him that *** [content edited, sent only to those who have contacted Anne personally] *** The Board could yet decide to let Bryan sit for the July bar exam, which is what we are praying for, and we ask you to continue with us in this endeavor!

For the past two years *** an investigation of Bryan to help them determine whether he is morally and mentally fit to sit for the Indiana Bar exam. Bryan has applied to several other states in the past when considering a job change, and no other state has denied him to sit for their bar exam. He has been licensed as a Kansas attorney for twelve and a half years now.

The *** bar application for Bryan [has been] unusually expensive and time consuming, but he has patiently done all *** have asked of him. Bryan actually completed all the *** required testing and interviews by the end of 2008, and hoped to take the February bar exam. Unfortunately *** [content edited]

[paragraph removed].

My good people, Bryan and I are more and more convinced every day that this treatment is *** due to Bryan’s activist pro-life background and his loyal faith to the Roman Catholic Church. Bryan does not have a history of being a bad attorney at all, quite the opposite, in fact. He does not fit the typical stereotype of attorneys. Bryan has always been thorough and diligent in his work as an attorney, and is an extremely honest person. We all enjoy a good lawyer joke now an then, but they do not apply do my husband. Bryan was told by an Indiana attorney he consulted that his situation is so unique because he’s not being investigated due to a drug, alcohol, sex, or gambling problem, and so the [system] just does not know what to do with him. Sadly, were he being investigated for one of the above, he would have an easier time maintaining status as an Indiana attorney in good standing.

Bryan has been questioned and critiqued in a manner that more than suggests his loyalty to the Roman Catholic Church and his activist pro-life background are *** [what some] find most troubling about him. I think *** are afraid to license my husband because they recognize that he is someone who will fight for justice for not only the unborn, but for all Christians, and for the Constitution of the United States. These are not the groups of people that *** [some special interests] wants defended in Indiana, which is cause for grave concern.

Little Jude needs my attention, so I will keep this short. Bryan and I ask you to join our family in this spiritual battle that is waging between us and ***, and that mirrors many of these types of battles to come, unless we all just decide not to fight these battles! Bryan is in a very unique place right now, and we feel it is exactly where God wants him, and we just need your continued prayers to see this battle through to the end! Please pray with us that Bryan will be allowed to sit for the Indiana July bar exam, and that if that is not to happen that we will be blessed and guided by our Lord Jesus Christ in pursuing justice in this matter! We are continuing to ask for the intervention of St. Thomas More, and invite you to do the same if you feel so led.

I will keep you updated when there are further developments!

Love and peace, in Christ, Anne Brown

Webmaster’s note … Anne is overwelmed at the present time and finding it difficult to write.  This is the post she wrote up the last of  May, with some updates and changes.

We are yet hoping she will post again soon.  And we are still asking for prayers.

More updates to follow, for more is happening.

My husband, Bryan J. Brown, began his application to the Indiana Board of Law Examiners (IBLE) in 2007. He originally hoped to take their bar exam in July, 2007. Bryan was told by the IBLE that his application had to be put off since it was so voluminous – they did not have sufficient time to process his application for him to sit for the Indiana bar exam in July of 2007.

Bryan’s pro-life activist background necessitated his voluminous file. He had to turn in such a file to the state of Kansas back in 1996, when he applied to sit for the Kansas bar exam after graduating from law school. Kansas approved him to sit for their bar exam, and at least one other state had also approved him to sit for their bar exam in 1996. Once a candidate is admitted to take a state’s bar exam, your only requirement for licensing in that state is to pass their exam. Of course the candidate is required to maintain good standing in that state in order to maintain a law license.

In 2000, after a background check, Bryan was sworn into the bar of the United States Supreme Court. After an even more rigorous check by the National College of Bar Examiners in 2006, Bryan was approved to sit for the Missouri bar exam.

BRYAN HAS BEEN PUT OFF FOR TWO YEARS to sit for Indiana’s bar exam. During that time he has been subjected to testing and counseling to determine whether or not he’s emotionally, psychologically, morally and ethically fit to be admitted to sit for Indiana’s bar exam. In spite of his maintaining a license in good standing in Kansas for twelve years, they not only insisted he be subject to testing and counseling, they insisted that he only see individuals they were personally familiar with, and sometimes this necessitated him driving to Indianapolis for appointments.

Bryan was required to make appointments with one psychiatrist and two psychologists who took issue with his Roman Catholic Christian faith. Two of these individuals made it very clear that it was a problem for the IBLE that Bryan would look to his Church for authority over his life, and especially that he considers this authority to take precedence over other some who claim to be authorities in his profession. The psychiatrist he was referred to by the Indiana authorities had a degree in Sacred Theology, and is published in feminist newsletters of a leftwing group advocating the end of the patriarchy — being first and foremost the all-male clergy. This Indiana-favored expert has appeared on television and in academic journals attempting to discredit Catholic exorcisms and calling for an end of such practices.

Bryan did see a psychiatrist of his own choosing in Fort Wayne, and a pastoral counselor in Fort Wayne, with advanced degrees in applied psychology and protestant theology. He has also counseled with our priest, Father James Seculoff. Bryan sought further professional counseling and evaluation because he had communicated again and again to the IBLE and their associates that he was being discriminated against because of his Roman Catholic faith. His pleas have thus far fallen on deaf ears. Bryan’s Catholic, Christian faith was not called into question by the professionals in Fort Wayne who did not come recommended by the IBLE. He was found quite sane, quite stable and of good moral character.

They simply lacked the bias seemingly inherent in the state offices reviewing Bryan.

DOES OUR SOCIETY NOT EMBRACE INDIVIUALS WHO FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF THEIR CHURCH? Apparently, this is not a good character trait according to the Indiana authorities. In fact, if you admit to such a belief, then you are subjected to psychological testing.

My friends, I know we all see the direction our country is heading. We must be prepared to defend our faith, our Catholic Church teachings, and for people to be able to live and practice their faith as Catholics in this country. It is one of the main reasons why our nation was founded – the free expression of religion. In our time, I believe we are at a crucial moment where we can lose much if we refuse to stand up for our faith. My husband is a great defender and fighter for constitutional and religious rights, which is why he’s being singled out and discriminated against.

WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS FOR JUNE. God has been so good to Bryan and I and our children in seeing us through this journey. Prayers of family and friends for us have been greatly needed and appreciated. I do believe that God has brought Bryan to this place, at this time, to fight this battle.

PLEASE PRAY WITH US STARTING AS SOON AS YOU CAN! We invite you to pray this St. Thomas More novena and litany for nine days. Bryan’s presentation is Monday, June 1, and the full Board will then once again vote on Bryan’s application sometime in the month of June. So please begin the novena anytime in June. Our intentions are: 1) That Bryan will conduct himself in a way pleasing to our Lord as he works his case , and always when he stands before the IBLE to give his own defense on why he is ethically, morally, and mentally sound to become an Indiana licensed attorney at law; 2) that the IBLE will be fair, just, and unbiased in their judgment on my husband; 3) that if it be the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, as a result of Bryan’s hearing with the IBLE on June 1^st, 2009, he will be admitted by the IBLE to take the Indiana bar exam in July of 2009, and/or licensed to practice law in the state of Indiana in 2009.

May God bless all of you and please pray often for our children  through this ardous journey we are on as a family.

Anne

I cannot thank enough the scores upon scores that have written or left notes letting Anne and me know that they are praying for us.

We do not know anything more today than we knew last week.  We are still praying for justice to be done, the grace to accept whatever is the result and the faith to walk ahead regardless of the waves.

It appears that my three years of law school, six years at AFA and four years as Phill Kline’s Deputy Attorney General may be offered up as a sacrifice to the culture war, a career ended on the battlefront.  But for a miracle, such looks to be how this story ends.

I have asked Anne to take over this website for a while.  She has agreed to do just that.  You may want to help her by sending guest submissions. 

She will post some of the comments received, after, of course, asking the author’s permission.

Here is one such word of encouragement from a baby boomer.  Sounds much like our late friend Rich Mullins:

Keep your perspective.
 
I will continue to pray for you and also for your family.
***
I turned 61 yesterday.  The last few years have provided a greater focus because of the years.  This life is vanity.  It is not worth living if it is not for others and the life impact I have on their relationship with the Lord.  What I leave behind is between each individual and their Lord.  It is their choice – God gave them that.  To live is Christ and to die is gain.  While I am here I will finish the race.  I am ready to leave whenever He is ready.
 
God Bless,
Your friend Marvin

In Ictu Oculi

Thanks to this website for inspiration tonight.

Goodbye for now.

Enjoy Anne’s posting and please help her as you can with submissions
