Group demands California implement programs promoting abstinence
WorldNetDaily.com 2/11/10

NewsBusters 4/18/10
What AP chose to avoid telling the rest of the nation is why "more established gay rights groups" were not involved in the 2010 repeal campaign. In a Friday OneNewsNow.com item, Randy Thomasson of SaveCalifornia.com explained why: "California homosexual activist groups are afraid of the conservative backlash against Barack Obama, and so they didn't want to go on this year's ballot," Thomasson explains.

IN THE MEDIA 4/15 - 4/20/10: Protecting children from the LGBTQ 'Day of Silence'
SaveCalifornia.com led the California 'Day of Silence' WALKOUT by empowering pro-family parents who still have their children in public schools to remove their kids that day. The annual so-called “Day of Silence” (DOS), where homosexual, bisexual and transsexual activist-students and their supporters take over government schools, was April 16.
On DOS, participating students may wear pro-homosexuality T-shirts, deliver pro-"LGBTQ" speeches in classrooms of supportive teachers, refuse to answer teachers' questions in other classrooms, walk around with their mouths taped shut and more, making it difficult for other students to concentrate and transforming the school day into a day of sexual indoctrination.
Speaking out for you on the radio
SaveCalifornia.com's April 2010 radio interviews rallying parents to boycott the pro-LGBTQ “Day of Silence” included powerful stations such as KFBK 1530 Sacramento, KSFO 560 San Francisco and KNZR 1560 Bakersfield.
Day of Silence still sparks protest
The New American 4/20/10
Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, was urging parents to hit their school districts on the bottom line if their schools take part in the Day of Silence. "Every child that stays home on Friday in protest will take almost $100, in California at least, from the government school system in the form of ADA — average daily attendance funds," Thomasson told Onenewsnow.com: "We think that's appropriate punishment for a school district that allows homosexual indoctrination of children."

Skirmishes continue for families in Calif. schools
OneNewsNow.com, April 19, 2010
In the opinion of a traditional values leader in California, the state assembly has taken more action to declare that public schools are "morality-free zones." The latest measure, ACR 82, is the sixth passed by the California legislature, and according to Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, that amounts to "school sexual indoctrination."

Schools' assignment: Squelch family values
WorldNetDaily.com, April 15, 2010
"While this may sound good," said a statement from the pro-family group SaveCalifornia.com, "the devil is in the details. By including morally controversial lifestyles [homosexuality, bisexuality and others] in this resolution, ACR 82 would encourage schools to 'enact procedures' against 'acts of discrimination that occur on campus.'" "The Democrats with the help of silent Republicans have given homosexual activists and the liberal education establishment a new tool with which to squelch and punish pro-family values in public schools," said Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com.

State poised to punish free speech at schools
WorldNetDaily.com, April 10, 2010
Randy Thomasson, executive director of Save California, told WND that California, which already has a history of pro-homosexual advocacy required by law in its schools, now is moving to the next level. "Putting these anti-family values in children's heads is not enough," he said. The state is "figuratively cutting out their tongues if they disagree. "Children who believe that marriage is between a man and a woman and that there are different roles for men and women in the family will be subjected to reprimand, detention, suspension, corrective counseling or other punishments in order to serve as a bad example to other children," he said.
