Here’s an encouraging update and new alert. In early June, SaveCalifornia.com warned you about Safeway promoting homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality to customers and their children.
The prominent signs people saw when they walked in the grocery stores proclaimed “Gay/Lesbian Pride Month” with a large picture of homosexual activist Harvey Milk of San Francisco.
Thank you to everyone who took action. Here’s what Ken wrote us the very next day:
I got the Safeway in [my local city] to pull their Harvey Milk signs, at least when I was there. I explained in a logical manner my thoughts and found a sympathetic ear. The Safeway worker was actually glad to take the signs down, but said that he needed a complaint from a customer to do so. I don’t know if his reason was official but that is the justification he gave me for pulling the sign down. If I see the signs again I am going say something again. I am also thinking picketing in front of the Safeway store if they won’t take their signs down. Or I just will shop elsewhere.
DO WHAT KEN DID AND CALL SAFEWAY TOO
ALERT: Call Safeway’s corporate office in Pleasanton, California at 877-723-3929 to tell them you are shopping elsewhere because of Safeway’s public promotion of homosexuality to children and families.
SUPPORT SAVECALIFORNIA.COM IN THE BATTLE AGAINST ‘HARVEY MILK GAY DAY’
On June 17, a Phoenix TV station interviewed SaveCalifornia.com President Randy Thomasson about Safeway, pitting him against a local homosexual activist.
Here in California, with the help of our financial supporters, SaveCalifornia.com is fighting hard against SB 572, “Harvey Milk Gay Day.” SB 572 is on the Assembly floor and could be voted on next week. See our May media clips and act now to help.
Unfortunately, when SB 572 passed a Democrat-controlled committee last week, only KGO-TV in San Francisco and some conservative radio reported the bad news.
In this virtual media blackout, there’s obviously much more we must do to defeat “Harvey Milk Gay Day.” This is why SaveCalifornia.com has new action steps for you below.
If signed, SB 572 would pressure every California public school to have an official “Harvey Milk Day” promoting the homosexual, bisexual, and transsexual agenda to children as young as kindergarten. The sky is the limit on what a school considers “suitable commemorative exercises.” This is written so broadly, SB 572 could allow gay-pride parades on campus, cross-dressing, and homosexual “marriage” dramas, etc.
It’s all going to come down to how much pressure California’s governor feels. Remember, last year the Democrat-controlled Legislature passed “Harvey Milk Gay Day,” but Schwarzenegger vetoed it.
This year, Schwarzenegger is being lobbied more heavily by homosexual activists. Sean Penn, who played Harvey Milk on the big screen, and Milk’s homosexual activist nephew, have both personally lobbied Schwarzenegger to ask him to sign SB 572. Other differences from last year is that there are four more Democrats in the Assembly voting for “Harvey Milk Gay Day.” And for the first time, a Republican, Senator Abel Maldonado, is supporting this horrible, anti-family bill.
GET BUSY: CALL, EMAIL, FAX/WRITE SACRAMENTO
1. CALL Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger at 916-445-2841. Listen to the recorded message and push the buttons to get to a live constituent services representative. Kindly but firmly say, “I’m calling to urge the Governor to veto SB 572, ‘Harvey Milk Gay Day,’ like he did last year. Parents don’t want this, children don’t need this. Schools should teach children academics, not the ‘lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender’ values of Harvey Milk or anyone else.”
Schwarzenegger’s phone lines are open weekday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can also call his offices 24/7 in San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles, Fresno and San Francisco.
2. EMAIL SaveCalifornia.com’s prewritten email message to Schwarzenegger and your two California state legislators.
3. FAX OR WRITE Governor Schwarzenegger. Use personal letterhead if you have it, or even better — business/organization/church letterhead — when you FAX the Governor at 916-558-3160 or write him at:
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814
4. CALL your own California Republican state assemblymember and other Republican assemblymembers to urge them to “Speak against ‘Harvey Milk Gay Day’ on the floor. Your vote won’t stop SB 572, so please use your voice against this terrible, anti-family bill.” List of Republican assemblymembers.
