What does it mean to be ‘free’?

Thursday, July 3, 2025, 8:15 am | Randy Thomasson
What’s the real definition of “freedom”?

When it comes to being an American who’s truly free from sinful slavery, context and definition matter!
As you prepare to celebrate Independence Day, stop and realize that the “freedom” our U.S. founding fathers wrote about and fought for is freedom to do what’s right in God’s sight.

This is why an American Revolutionary War cry was “No king but King Jesus.” And it’s why U.S. Founding Father John Adams said he wanted to live in a free country where he could exercise his Christian values without punishment.

So embrace your freedom! But instead of redefining freedom as freedom to sin and do whatever you want, understand that true American freedom is our freedom to obey God rather than obeying immoral tyrants – including the tyranny of our own flesh.

From Heritage Foundation’s “Why the American Founding Matters”

The American Founding is a unique and remarkable moment in human history, marking the beginning of a new order of the ages. It was the first time the people, as the only earthly source of political authority, exercised their right to establish government based on their consent.

As Alexander Hamilton observed in the opening salvo of the first Federalist paper, Americans were “to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government on the basis of reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force.”

The Founding generation understood that they were dramatis personae on the world stage, cast and called to prove the capacity of mankind for self-government. If they succeeded, the forces of despotism would never again find their ambitions unobstructed.

Excerpt from Fourth of July sermon outlines:

Biblical freedom is not self-centered. It is others-focused. Christ sets us free not so we can do whatever we want, but so we can finally do what we were created for—loving God and serving others.

In a culture that defines freedom as individual rights, God’s Word reframes it as relational responsibility. The freest people are those who no longer live for themselves.

Practical advice: Look around. Who can you serve today? What can you sacrifice to uplift someone else? Use your freedom to bring life and healing to those in need.

So, stand firm. Don’t go back to chains. Live free—not for yourself, but for Christ and His Kingdom. Use your liberty to bless others, walk in holiness, and glorify God. That is true freedom—and you have it in Christ.

Confirmed quotations of U.S. founding fathers:

“Whosoever shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world.”
– Benjamin Franklin

“I have always said and always will say that the studious perusal of the Sacred Volume will make us better citizens.”
– Thomas Jefferson

“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”
– John Quincy Adams

“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.”
– Samuel Adams

“Because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion … our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
– Letter of President John Adams in 1798

Urge Pam Bondi to investigate CALIFORNIA election fraud

Monday, June 23, 2025, 8:57 am | Randy Thomasson

July 27, 2025 Update:

Now this is the start of something good!

Because the Trump Administration is suing the Orange County Registrar of Voters for refusing to adequately disclose records of illegal alien voters.

The federal lawsuit filed June 25 alleges the following:

“Orange County has undermined that confidence by (1) refusing transparency of its voter information, in violation of federal voting laws, and (2) concealing the unlawful registration of ineligible, non-citizen voters. Keeping voter registration rolls accurate and current ensures efficient and secure elections and promotes democratic engagement. Accurate voter registration lists are necessary to ensure only eligible electors can cast a ballot.”

Now the key thing to realize is this lawsuit was filed because a Californian filed a complaint with the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice. This complaint justified the initial investigation and was confidentially mentioned in the lawsuit as follows:

“The Attorney General recently received a complaint from the family member of a non-citizen in Orange County indicating that the non-citizen received an unsolicited mail-in ballot from the Defendant, despite lack of citizenship.”

TAKE ACTION: Do you have a legitimate complaint about illegal aliens voting or other election law violations? There are 58 California counties, and I know that Californians Harmeet Dhillon and Bill Essayli, now leading this fight as special employees of the U.S. DOJ, want to investigate and file election integrity lawsuits wherever they can.

Seize this opportunity — Trump’s election integrity team wants to hear from you!

And here’s our previous June 23, 2025 post:

This is what we’ve all been waiting for!

President Donald Trump announcing he’ll ask Attorney General Pam Bondi to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate 2020 election fraud is so foundational. Because without fair and accurate voting, we don’t have the representative government our U.S. founders established. No republic and no democracy — but brutal tribalism where the strong enslave the weak.

In his June 20 Truth Social post, Trump wrote, “…the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING. A Special Prosecutor must be appointed. This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin!” 

The whole point is to launch the investigation, expose the cheating, and bring the power of the federal government down on it. An investigation is needed in most — if not all — of California’s 58 counties!

Special counsels or special prosecutors can issue subpoenas and search warrants, bring indictments, are under the Attorney General, and are provided with a budget and can request a staff of attorneys, both inside and outside the department, if they need extra help.

If this investigation includes California, it will bring to light election corruption that the ruling Democrats, RINOs, bureaucrats, judges, and media outlets have been working so hard to hide in the tarnished Golden State.

Take action now: Urge Pam Bondi to investigate California election fraud. California must be included!

In Gray v. Sanders, 372 U.S. 368 (1963), the U.S. Supreme Court established the famous “one person, one vote” principle for legislative districting. “The concept of political equality…can mean only one thing—one person, one vote,” Justice William O. Douglas wrote on behalf of the Court.

ALERT: Demand Republicans oppose the sexual indoctrination of kindergarteners

Wednesday, March 19, 2025, 5:21 pm | Randy Thomasson

If Republican state legislators were trustworthy protectors, it wouldn’t be like this.

So after two Republicans foolishly voted yes in committee for the major sexual indoctrination bill AB 86, SaveCalifornia.com sprang into action.

The good news is one of them, freshman Leticia Castillo of western Riverside County, was “educated” by numerous phone calls from our active SaveCalifornia.com followers on March 15-17.

So on March 18, Castillo announced she will oppose AB 86 and ask other Republicans to oppose it too.

Please leave Leticia Castillo a brief message at 916-319-2058, saying, “I’m glad the assemblywoman has announced her opposition to the major sexual indoctrination bill, AB 86. I look forward to her speaking on the floor and getting other Republicans to speak too!”

TAKE QUICK ACTION

So far, only 1 of 20 Republican assemblymembers have announced opposition to AB 86. You can help us get 20 of 20!

If your own California state assemblymember is a Republican, please also call him or her, saying, “Oppose AB 86, which pushes more sexual indoctrination on children as young as kindergarten. In the bill, the ‘health curriculum framework’ adopted in 2019 by the State Board of Education is the massive sexual indoctrination of AB 329. Connect the dots and announce your opposition to this deceptive, anti-family bill!”

Find your own California state assemblymember here. If you don’t have a Republican assemblymember, please call the 19 other Republican assemblymembers anonymously after business hours, in this priority order of risky liberal to morally conservative:

Josh Hoover of Folsom 916-319-2007 (he already voted yes on AB 86 in committee)
Greg Wallis of Rancho Mirage 916-319-2047
Juan Alanis of Modesto 916-319-2022
Carl DeMaio of San Diego 916-319-2075
Laurie Davies of Laguna Niguel 916-319-2074
Phillip Chen of Brea 916-319-2059
Diane Dixon of Newport Beach 916-319-2072
Heath Flora of Ripon 916-319-2009
Bill Essayli of Corona 916-319-2063
Tom Lackey of Palmdale 916-319-2034
Tri Ta of Westminster 916-319-2070
Stan Ellis of Bakersfield 916-319-2032
David Tangipa of Fresno 916-319-2008
Alexandra Macedo of Visalia 916-319-2033
Heather Hadwick of Redding 916-319-2001
Joe Patterson of Rocklin 916-319-2005
Kate Sanchez of Rancho Santa Margarita 916-319-2071
James Gallagher of Yuba City 916-319-2003
Jeff Gonzalez of Coachella 916-319-2036

Please make anonymous calls between 7pm and 8am, and on weekends, so that your voicemail will not be “trashed.” (State legislators routinely only care about messages from their own constituents; therefore, calls from many people AFTER business hours who do not ID themselves cannot be discarded). A flood of calls matter!

Connect the dots on the awful AB 86:

As written, AB 86 reads: “…the state board shall adopt instructional materials 

for health education for kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive, pursuant to the requirements of this article and in alignment with the health curriculum framework adopted by the state board in 2019.”

What is the “health curriculum framework adopted by the state board in 2019”? 

It includes the “Healthy Youth Act” (AB 329 from 2015), teaching there are at least 7 “genders”!

What is the “Healthy Youth Act” 

AB 329 is a key part of the 2019 frameworks, and the centerpiece of AB 86’s requirement for “sexual health” instruction materials. See more at our School Indoctrination page

AB 329 teaches children as young as 5th grade that any consensual sexual behavior is “safe” as long as you “protect” yourself with a condom, and teaches children that homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality are “normal.” 

AB 329 requires children to learn about various sexual practices, such as:

Masturbation, oral sex, teen fornication, homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality, and unlimited “genders,” as well as promoting abortion (baby-killing). 

Under the guise of “health” education, AB 329, dubbed the “California Healthy Youth Act,” is mandatory for grades 7-12 and optional for younger grades.

What would this year’s AB 86 do?

It would require “the SBE* to adopt instructional materials for health education for kindergarten through grade 8 … in alignment with the health curriculum framework adopted by the SBE in 2019.”

Using AB 86 to mandate instructional materials based on the 2019 frameworks, which fully embraced AB 329, would satisfy the anti-parent “LGBTQIA+” groups, who want books, videos, and other material pushed upon elementary school districts and teachers to make them to sexually indoctrinate impressionable little children all the more.

* State Board of Education

Please take action and ask your friends to do the same!

A general Dissolution of Principles & Manners will more surely overthrow the Liberties of America than the whole Force of the Common Enemy. While the People are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their Virtue they will be ready to surrender their Liberties to the first external or internal Invader.
