John, I need your immediate support to help the Thomas
More Society defend a father-of-seven pro-life advocate against
false criminal charges. Please let me explain.
In the early morning of September 23, roughly twenty-five FBI
agents wearing tactical gear threatened to break down the door of
Mark Houck's home if he didn't let them in immediately.
With guns pointed at Mark, they hauled him off to jail while his
wife and kids looked on, screaming.
Now he's facing multiple criminal charges and eleven years in
federal prison due to an incident involving an aggressively
abusive Planned Parenthood escort - which is why our team is
representing him in court.
Can I count on your best gift of $40 or more to the MARK HOUCK
DEFENSE FUND to help us give him the legal defense he deserves?
Mark is a dedicated pro-life author, speaker, and sidewalk
counselor.
He would drive two hours every week to stand outside of abortion
clinics for six to eight hours at a time, praying the Rosary and
offering support to women who are so desperate they think they
have no alternative than to abort their babies, often bringing
his twelve-year-old son.
But one day, a Planned Parenthood escort got in his young son's
face, ridiculing him and his father in very vulgar and aggressive
ways.
Mark defended his son by shoving the escort away after having
repeatedly asked him to stop the abuse.
The escort wanted him prosecuted for assault and battery for
shoving him away from Mark's young son, but the District Court of
Philadelphia threw out the case.
So, Biden's Department of Justice charged Mark with violating the
federal FACE Act...and now this courageous pro-life hero faces up
to eleven years in federal prison for advocating for life and for
defending his family.
We're pulling out all the stops to make sure the DOJ and the
abortion clinic escort who are trying to destroy Mark and his
family don't get away with this.

But this is going to be a long, costly affair, and I need your
help.
That's where your emergency donation to the MARK HOUCK DEFENSE
FUND comes in - by giving today you can stand with Mark in his
hour of need. Make no mistake, friend, Mark's arrest was a
targeted attack specifically intended to intimidate pro-lifers
and people of faith.
The incident at the abortion clinic was so minor that the
authorities refused to press charges and when the escort filed
charges himself, his case was thrown out.

Fortunately for Mark and his family, if anyone has experience
defending pro-life heroes against Biden's DOJ and Planned
Parenthood, it's us. My name is Tom Brejcha and I'm the president
and chief counsel of the Thomas More Society - the not-for-profit
law firm defending Mark Houck.
We're proud to have defended many renowned leaders in America's
pro-life movement such as Joe Scheidler and the Pro-Life Action
League, David Bereit, David Daleiden, Shawn Carney and 40 Days
for Life, Abby Johnson, the Susan B. Anthony List, Lila Rose and
Live Action, the March for Life, and many more. But without the
help of generous donors, none of our crucial work would be
possible. Because the reality is, while you can't be the one
personally defending Mark in the courtroom, by donating you can
help us vindicate this brave father and pro-life hero who is
being ground through the system in an unjust prosecution.
Can I count on your gift of $40, $60, $100, or more to stand with
Mark Houck today and fight back against the dark forces of
Planned Parenthood? I will be grateful for whatever you're able
to send today. Whether it's $10, $40, $60, $250 or more...
...because time is of the essence. We're expecting Mark's defense
to cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars. To put it as bluntly
as possible, Mark could be facing years behind bars for a crime
he didn't commit, while his seven children grow up without him
and his wife Ryan-Marie is forced to raise their family alone.
Not only that, but pro-life sidewalk counselors across the
country may be deterred from going to the clinics out of concern
that they, too, could end up in costly legal battles and even
face federal charges simply for defending the unborn. So, I do
ask that you make your gift as soon as you can.
Please don't delay in donating to the MARK HOUCK DEFENSE FUND
immediately.
I've asked my staff to let me know as soon as we get your
generous gift so I can let Mark know that you're standing with
him. I know Mark and his family will be deeply touched by your
generous support. May God bless you,
Tom BrejchaPresident & Chief Counsel
P.S. Biden's DOJ and Planned Parenthood want to destroy pro-life,
father-of-seven Mark Houck and intimidate people of faith
everywhere. They'd love to see Mark rotting away in federal
prison for his selfless devotion to the unborn, using his defense
of his young son as the excuse. You and I cannot let that happen.
Can I count on you to support the official criminal defense of
Mark Houck with a tax-deductible donation today?
