Dear Friends of the Preborn,
Dan Holman, who has faithfully ministered on behalf of the preborn in Iowa for years now, has been in jail for nearly two months and we are concerned about the situation.
The Details
Dan Holman and his wife, Donna, had just left a wedding they had attended in Michigan. While driving down the freeway in their truthvan (it has large photos of babies killed by abortion and alive in the womb on the outside) a red vehicle pulled ahead of them to their left and suddenly cut dangerously close in front of them and slammed on their brakes. They then drove very slowly and wouldn't let the Holman's pass. This went on until they got off the freeway about a mile and half down the road.
When the vehicle stopped at a red light in front of them, Dan got out with a hammer being concerned for their safety. The other vehicle took off. Dan got back in his vehicle and they continued on. The other vehicle was moving real slow and the Holman's were able to pass them. At the next red light, Dan got out again (this time without anything in his hand) and could see that the perpetrators were a mother and her teen-age son. He could hear the woman lying to the police on her cell phone as he approached saying that Dan was threatening to kill her son. Dan yelled very loudly so the police could hear "Leave us alone! Quit harrassing us! quit following us!"
He went back to his van; drove a short distance; and waited. The woman in the other vehicle pulled her van in front of them and they all sat there for about 10 minutes waiting for the police to arrive.
When the police arrived they arrested Dan! He has been charged with 'assault with a dangerous weapon' and 'carrying a concealed weapon'. He also is being held for a previous charge from upper Michigan he was never arraigned for from 4 years ago wherein he restrained a woman until police arrived who was vandalizing a truthtruck. He is being held for $50,000.00 bail!
Our Concern
1. The attorney for Dan has been practicing for nearly 30 years and he has informed us he has never seen the authorities act this way towards someone. He believes this is a political lynching, and is very concerned about Dan. We also talked with a police officer from the area and he informed us that the handling of this case is out of the ordinary; that something more must be going on behind the scenes.
2. The people who put the Holman's lives in jeopardy by driving recklessly towards them were not charged with anything! The charges against Dan are trumped up and both are felonies. Dan never assaulted anyone. He never even threatened anyone. He had no concealed weapon, the hammer was openly in his hand.
3. There has been bizarre treatment of Dan while incarcerated. For example, they made even his own wife, Donna, have to jump through a bunch of hoops to visit her husband. After jumping them all, she traveled the 8 hours to visit him only to be denied a visit because they said they had nohting on record that she had filed the appropriate paper work. Communication with Dan is very difficult, and is part of the reason it has taken so long to get this information out to you.
Please Help
We are asking that you take time to contact the Oakland County Prosecutor. They need to know people are concerned about Dan and what they want to do to him will not be done in a dark corner. They also need to stop this unjust campaign they are waging against Dan, and drop these charges.

Finally, Dan is ministering to others while he is in jail (you can serve Christ anywhere!). He is having bible studies with inmates. Two have already made commitments to Christ! He has also seen a number of men talk to their girlfriends or wives on the phone about not having abortions after he talked to them about abortion!
Donna meanwhile is alone at home. She is in her mid-70's now. She continues to minister on behalf of the prebron, but is very grieved about the situation with her husband.
