SIGN PETITION
Truth Wins Out has created a petition to demand that Marcus Bachmann immediately end his harassment of our organization:
Marcus Bachmann, the husband of presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, has launched a petty and vindictive campaign to personally harass Truth Wins Out. He is upset that in July TWO exposed his clinic for practicing “ex-gay” therapy. Prior to this disclosure, Bachmann lied to the American people and denied that his office engaged in these backwards and barbaric techniques. The revelation rocked Michele Bachmann’s campaign and became her first major roadblock.
Now that the campaign is foundering, she and Marcus are looking for scapegoats – and have settled on Truth Wins Out. They are spitefully taking aim at TWO’s John Becker, trying to punish him because he went undercover and gathered video evidence of “ex-gay” therapy at the clinic.
Like the bullies they are, Bachmann & Associates is illegally demanding that Becker pay $150 for appointments that he had canceled in accordance with the clinic’s guidelines. Amazingly, Marcus Bachmann personally called Becker this week threatening to send the bogus bill to collections if it was not paid by Friday. Truth Wins Out retained the services of an attorney and steadfastly refuses to be intimidated or pay the fake bill.
Clearly, Marcus Bachmann is angry with Truth Wins Out for exposing his clinic’s fraudulent practices, and is engaging in malicious and vindictive strong-arming for the sole purpose of defaming and discrediting TWO and John Becker.
Stand with us today — demand that Marcus Bachmann end these spiteful and malicious pursuits immediately and stop harming clients with discredited and harmful “ex-gay” therapy.
Done! With the following left as my reason for signing:
Bachmann, you are WAY out of line. Your words, your actions, your clinic, your spouse’s political platform clearly display the high degree of contempt you both hold for LGBT lives, the sanctity of our personhood, our loves, our families, and our positive presence in and contribution to the world. Your animus toward us is despicable – and clearly illustrated by this petty retaliatory harassment you are engaged in because you were caught.
oh, and may I add, I would LOVE to see him have to stand up in court and answer for his b******t. Loved that post of the letter from your lawyer.
[...] Sign the Petition Demanding Marcus Bachmann Stop Harassing Truth Wins Out. Take Action [...]
Signed and I hope he gets his big, homophobic a*s kicked in court.
So what is happening with the Marcus Bachmann suit now? Certainly 72 hours have elapsed. Has he responded to the lawyer’s letter?
Marcus has not responded to the letter – but we have not been contacted by Bachmann & Associates or a collection agency either.
If we are contacted, we will take appropriate legal action. If we do not hear from Bachmann or from a collection agency, there is no need for action or to pursue the matter further.
As our letter states, the choice is his and the ball is in his court.
Thanks for responding so quickly!
