SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 UPDATE: See the final outcome of these immoral, anti-family bills at the SaveCalifornia.com Legislation Center.
Our previous post from August 30, 2024:
As the August 31 deadline of the California Legislature’s annual session looms, see and share the awful bills the ruling Democrat Party legislators have authored and are passing with the help of RINOs (Republicans in Name Only):
- HR 101 by 6 homosexual activist Democrat Party assemblymembers has language championing the unnatural, anti-family, tyrannical “LGBTQ+” agenda and vilifying anyone who opposes it. This annual pro-perversity Assembly resolution was approved on a voice vote on June 3. Coauthors were 53 Democrats and Republicans Phillip Chen, Diane Dixon, Greg Wallis. On May 28, the Assembly Rules Committee advanced HR 101 (5 Democrats + Republican Heath Flora voted yes).
- AB 1825 pressuring public libraries in conservative communities to stock material reflecting “inclusive and diverse perspectives,” promoting pornography, homosexuality/bisexuality/transsexuality, abortion, witchcraft, stealing, communism, and racism. Voting yes were the supermajority Democrats and 4 Assembly Republicans: Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis.
- Two bills pushing more baby-killing — by imposing even harsher penalties upon peaceful pro-lifers who are offering factual information and adoption services to pregnant women who are being roped in by Planned Parenthood abortionists (AB 2099) and by pressuring communities to open up more abortion clinics (AB 2085). Along with the supermajority Democrats, already voting yes on AB 2099 were Republicans Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Heath Flora, Josh Hoover, Devon Mathis, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis; joining the Democrats in approving AB 2085 were Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Greg Wallis.
- AB 2319 replacing “mother” with “all birthing people, including nonbinary persons and persons of transgender experience,” and forcing “all health care providers involved in the perinatal care of patients” at hospitals, primary care clinics, alternative birthing centers, outpatient clinics, and emergency departments, under threat of penalty, into brainwashing training — teaching employees and contractors to believe and speak the unscientific fallacies that biological females can be biological males, and vice versa. Along with the supermajority Democrats, voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis, Scott Wilk.
- AB 2442 by homosexual activist Democrat Party State Assemblymember Rick Zbur of Hollywood would accelerate the harmful “sex change” industry in California by expediting so-called “gender-affirming health care and gender-affirming mental health care” license applications, similar to the current expediting of abortionists’ licenses. Along with the supermajority Democrats, voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis, Scott Wilk.
- AB 2711 by Democrat James Ramos, would eliminate smoking, alcohol drinking, and using drugs as automatic grounds for suspension at all California government-controlled schools. AB 2711 as amended July 3 would prohibit suspending children from California public school for “their use of a controlled substance, alcohol, intoxicants of any kind, or a tobacco product.” Instead of suspension, this bill would require K-12 government-controlled schools to offer a counseling program to students who “voluntarily” disclose their drug/alcohol use or who possessing drug/alcohol. This is a significant weakening of current penalties for bad behavior. AB 2711 sends the message to other students that getting stoned or drunk isn’t that bad, since the consequences will be mild, not severe. Joining the Democrats by voting yes were Republicans Marie Waldron, Roger Niello, Scott Wilk.
- AB 3031 by homosexual activist Evan Low and “bisexual” activist Alex Lee, both Democrat assemblymembers from the Greater San Jose area, would create an official “LGBTQ+ Commission” to hammer its tyrannical agenda upon you all the more. The June 26 amendments made AB 3031 even worse by thoroughly embedding this “LGBT+ Commission” agenda in the state government bureaucracy, and fundraising for it, and in the future, funding it directly with taxpayer dollars. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Josh Hoover, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis.
- SB 954 by 3 Democrat Party state senators would promote the lie that condoms are effective pregnancy prevention and ignore STDs and other harms resulting from teen fornication. This bad bill further sexualizing children would require California public schools “to make internal and external condoms available to all pupils” from 7th grade onward. It would additionally require at schools from 9th grade onward to “make condoms available by placing condoms in a minimum of two locations on school grounds where the condoms are easily accessible to pupils during school hours without requiring assistance or permission from school staff.” There is no provision for parental notification or consent. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Heath Flora and Marie Waldron, both of whom supported SB 954 in committee.
- SB 957 by “LGBTQIA+” Democrat Party State Senator Scott Wiener of San Francisco would require health providers to collect information about homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality via forms and questionnaires, then report this personal information to county health departments as well as to the State. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Kate Sanchez, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis.
- SB 1174 by Democrat Party State Senator Dave Min of Orange County would prohibit cities from requiring registered voters to present identification before voting. Of course, prohibiting proof that you are who you say you are promotes both voter fraud by individuals and election fraud by corrupt “vote counters.” Yet without voter identification — especially photo ID — we shatter the “one person, one vote” American standard. Since our Democrat-controlled state government has statewide laws that do not require voter ID, it’s up to local governments that care about accuracy and honesty to require voter ID locally. But they can’t under SB 1174, legislation that is both anti-democracy and anti-America. Only Democrats voted yes on this bad bill.
- Two bills devaluing citizens and rewarding illegal aliens — permitting illegals to receive 20% in taxpayer-funded home loan down payment assistance up to $150,000 (AB 1840) and prohibiting UC, CSU, and community colleges from “discriminating” against illegal-alien student job applicants (AB 2586). Only Democrats voted yes on AB 1840; three Republicans — Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis — voted for AB 2586.
- Four racist reparations bills: AB 3089 making the State issue a “formal apology” for past “racism” (Republicans joining the Democrats in voting yes were Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Josh Hoover, Tom Lackey, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis, Scott Wilk); SB 1403 creating a “California American Freedmen Affairs Agency” within state government to “oversee all reparations activities”; SB 1050 to compensate “Black Californians who are descendants of enslaved people who lost homes or had their land taken without fair compensation as a result of racially motivated misuse of eminent domain”; SB 1331 creating an empty account in the state treasury to fund future reparations payments.

The California Supreme Court has unconstitutionally called something they don’t like a “revision,” removing it from the ballot, and preventing California voters from even voting for protection against more money grabs. More
In the face of this tyrannical attack and significant loss, don’t collapse in cynicism. Instead, fight back by sharing this post. Tell others, “If you vote for Democrat Party politicians, you’re voting for tyranny and higher taxes.”
The “Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act” would have amended the California Constitution to define all state and local levies, charges, and fees as taxes. The initiative would have also required new or increased taxes to be passed by a two-thirds legislative vote in each chamber and approved by a simple majority of voters. It would also have increased the vote requirement for local taxes proposed by local government or citizens to a two-thirds vote of the local electorate.
How would you rule on keeping or removing ballot measures already qualified by hundreds of thousands of signatures of registered voters?
See these facts:
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION, ARTICLE II (regarding ballot initiatives)
Section 1: All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their protection, security, and benefit, and they have the right to alter or reform it when the public good may require.
Section 8(a): The initiative is the power of the electors to propose statutes and amendments to the Constitution and to adopt or reject them.
Section 8(d): An initiative measure embracing more than one subject may not be submitted to the electors or have any effect.
Did you catch that? This is freedom for the People to qualify one-subject initiatives!
So where did a prohibition of a “revision” of the California Constitution come from?From the California Supreme Court itself, beginning in 1978. Yet now, the state high court has abandoned its respect for legal definitions and is grabbing more power.
Specifically, this Democrat-Party-dominated, 7-judge court is broadly defining “revision” to be any tough, single-subject reform, such as no money-grabs (tax increases, tax extensions, fee increases, etc.) without a majority vote of the People.
But Newsom’s activist judges are wrong. A “revision” makes changes throughout a written constitution, covering multiple subjects — which is vastly different from a single-subject initiative such as tax relief:
From the introduction of “The Revision of California’s Constitution” by Eugene C. Lee in 1991 (Lee was “a leading scholar of California state and local government and former Director of the Institute of Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley”):
By explicit language in the constitution concerning initiatives and by court interpretation with respect to measures arising in the legislature, amendments are required to be limited in scope. As far back as 1894, the California supreme court distinguished between a “revision” of the constitution and a mere” amendment” thereof (Livermore v. Waite 102 Cal. 113). As reiterated in 1978, the court held that a “revision” referred to a “substantial alteration of the entire constitution, rather than to a less extensive change in one or more of its provisions” (Amador Valley Joint Union High School District v. State Board of Equalization 22 Cal. 3d 208).
Even a grammar expert with no political reputation knows the broad difference between a revision and an amendment:
“A revision…is a more significant alteration to a document that involves a complete review and reworking of its content. It is a process of making extensive changes to a document, often with the goal of improving its overall quality or effectiveness.”
Under these definitions, The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act was not a “revision,” but a bona fide amendment that should have been allowed on the ballot in respect for our Constitution and for jealously guarding voter rights.
For the current state constitution has hundreds of sections within 35 articles. Yet The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act would have only amended the California Constitution in 6 sections of 4 articles (Article XIII): Section 3 of Article XIII A, Section 1 of Article XIII C, Section 2 of Article XIII C, Section 3 of Article XIII D, Sections 1 and 14 of Article XIII. So it wasn’t a “revision” that was a “substantially alteration of the entire constitution,” but an amendment to the state constitution that only changed “one or more of its provisions.” What’s more, the Act satisfied the long-standing state high court standard of having a single-subject — taxes.
Bottom line, the California Supreme Court, comprised of 6 Democrats and 1 RINO, is unconstitutional for placing itself above the written State Constitution and yanking this constitutionally-valid taxpayer protection initiative from the ballot. They are anti-People tyrants!
The 7-member California Supreme Court has 3 nominees of Democrat Party Gov. Gavin Newsom and 3 nominees of Democrat Party Gov. Jerry Brown. Two of Newsom’s three picks were confirmed by current, corrupt, unconstitutional Attorney General Rob Bonta and two other members of the “Commission on Judicial Appointments,” so those are Bonta’s “picks” too. The sole “Republican” on the state high court is 75-year-old Carol Corrigan, a former Democrat, a self-proclaimed “moderate,” and a likely homosexual.
From the Los Angeles Times 2005: Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Court of Appeal Justice Carol A. Corrigan, a moderate Republican, to the California Supreme Court on Friday in a move that is likely to shift the conservative-leaning court toward the center. In an interview before her appointment, Corrigan repeatedly described herself as a moderate and a centrist. She switched her party affiliation from Democrat to Republican in 1995 after then-Gov. Pete Wilson appointed her to the 1st District Court of Appeal in San Francisco. “I think I would probably be a centrist anyplace I found myself,” she said. “I was a moderate Democrat, and now I am a moderate Republican…. I am moderate on virtually all things.”
Can this be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court? A federal lawsuit can be tried, but it is unlikely to succeed. But what each of us can do is tell others that voting for Democrrats = tyranny and higher taxes. Because everything about this is state jurisdiction. The only exceptions might be Article IV, Section 4 “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government”) or the Fourteenth Amendment (“nor shall any State deprive any person of…property, without due process of law“). But winning at the U.S. Supreme Court is a bad bet, due to cowardly Republicans on the bench and too much “state jurisdiction” precedent to the contrary.

So when they begin to lust for power and cannot attain it through themselves or their own good qualities, they ruin their estates, tempting and corrupting the people in every possible way. And hence when by their foolish thirst for reputation they have created among the masses an appetite for gifts and the habit of receiving them, democracy in its turn is abolished and changes into a rule of force and violence. For the people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others, and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others, as soon as they find a leader who is enterprising but is excluded from the honours of office by his penury, institute the rule of violence; and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch. Greek historian Polybius (203 BC – 120 BC) in The Histories
