Californians, let low voter turnout energize you!

Tuesday, February 27, 2024, 3:28 pm | Randy Thomasson

If you’re a conservative Californian, you’re used to losing. Because California has the biggest lying union bosses, who rally foolish, average Californians to vote for evil.

However, this March 5 primary election, California conservatives have a greater opportunity to win. Because of expected low voter turnout, those who actually vote and get others to vote have a mathematically higher chance of victory. So think positive!

As the Democrat-run Capitol Weekly reported February 19:

Looking at the returns thus far, we can see the beginnings of a low-turnout election, potentially with a relatively higher Republican turnout.

The impacts of these turnout numbers on campaigns can be massive. Lower turnout is correlated with more volatile election outcomes. Will this have an impact on a big race like the US Senate contest? Maybe. A higher Republican turnout would point to a race in which Steve Garvey makes it to the General election, closing out the election for two of the three main Democratic challengers.

A low turnout election, especially with relatively higher Republican participation, could also cause many legislative and congressional races in heavily Democratic districts to be decided in the primary when a Republican makes the runoff.

California’s Democrat Party operatives are worried. As KCRA Sacramento reported today, “progressive” Political Data, Inc. is uncomfortable with the current voting stats:

Data from Political Data Inc., which tracks ballots returned to county registrar offices, shows turnout for the primary has been lower than expected. It is currently at 8%, or 1.7 million ballots returned.

Political Data CEO Paul Mitchell said normally at this time, the turnout should be at 10% or 2.2 million ballots returned.

“A lot of that has to do with the fact that we have two Presidential races,” Mitchell said. “One where Democrats have kind of punted and gone with the incumbent. And Republicans have essentially consolidated their race around Donald Trump, so there’s not a lot of reason for voters to kind of be enthusiastic about getting those ballots back in.”

Let face it — the only big issue on the ballot is the deceptive Prop. 1, a $10+ BILLION “BOND” — much more expensive than a direct tax — for more “free housing for homeless,” providing a strong magnet for transients to come to sunny California from other states and nations.

But most California voters only see a very long ballot, with more candidates than they want to study, so they don’t want to vote this election. Truly, many people are in denial about the impact of this election on their liberties, rights, values, family, and property.

So please, seize this opportunity! Prioritize voting right and assisting others to vote right. To help you, SaveCalifornia.com has launched our new Pro-Family Election Center at SaveCaliforniaElection.com. Please take out your sample ballot and visit today!

Lastly, DO NOT trust the voter guides you receive by mail. Because “endorsements” are PAID by the candidates themselves, as well as union bosses! Look at the FINE PRINT. Unfortunately, trusted sources are very few, because even some pro-family voter guides include pro-perversity Republicans as recommended “pro-family” candidates.

And the man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck Syria till you had destroyed it! But now you will strike Syria only three times.”

ANOTHER WIN: Bill against police dogs stopped

Friday, January 19, 2024, 9:15 am | Randy Thomasson

JANUARY 30 UPDATE: If you called, you and others helped stop this radical, pro-crime bill! AB 742 did not come up for an Assembly floor vote before adjournment of a brief floor session. And tomorrow (January 31), is the legislative deadline for two-year bills to pass their house of origin, and the Assembly isn’t meeting that day. So AB 742 is dead!

From policemag.com (1/25/24):
Former police officer and K-9 unit member, Ronald Davis, says he’s puzzled by the push for this legislation. “Our dogs are there … because they help protect and defend,” he said. “Yes, they do bite people. But what the people trying to get this bill passed don’t tell you is how often they stop suspects with weapons who would have otherwise harmed an officer.”

He told the California Globe, “I don’t see how this can be passed. So many people came out against it last year, and unless they make big changes, it will entice no one else. People know how important police dogs are.”

Here’s our January 19 post with our anti-crime, pro-police-dog alert (again, thank you for following SaveCalifornia.com’s lead and calling — we knew this was a moral opportunity for reasonable Californians!):

Some Democrat Party politicians want to prohibit police dogs taking down criminal suspects. But you can help stop them — right now!

But first, to convince you that most two-year bills (bills that couldn’t pass last year) can be defeated this year, recognize and rejoice in the defeat of the invasive, pansy ban on pre-teen tackle football leagues:

In response to Newsom’s veto threatAB 734‘s author – Democrat Assemblymember Kevin McCarty, who wants to be mayor of Sacramento – pulled his anti-parent, anti-liberty bill, which means it’s dead both last year and this year.

Newsom – who knows he’s getting beat up nationally as being “too liberal” to be the Democrat Party nominee for president – is highly motivated to try to “improve” his image, in this case, to families nationwide who like youth tackle football.

What these radical Democrat bills show you – including the ones passed by California’s Democrat-Party-controlled State Legislature and signed by Democrat Party Gov. Gavin Newsom over the past several years – is that Democrat politicians have an insatiable lust to invade every space in order to control everyone and everything.

They are the anti-liberty party, otherwise known as New Communist Democrats and unconstitutional tyrants.

TAKE ACTION: And now, please oppose a pro-crime bill prohibiting the use of police dogs from helping police to apprehend criminal suspects.

AB 742 has until Jan. 31 to pass the Democrat-controlled State Assembly. This bad bill would prohibit unleashing police dogs to find or take down a suspect.

AB 742 is pro-crime because it stops the apprehending of criminal suspects. Because if a suspect is hiding from or running away from police, a police dog can find him and hold him.

Yet the “defund the police” Democrat Party politicians want to straitjacket police dogs and let criminal suspects get away. Police across America are shaking their heads over this.

The present danger is AB 742 is already on the Assembly floor, on the “inactive file,” where it’s been for more than 8 months. And it can be brought up for a vote any time the Democrat-controlled Assembly meets the remainder of this month.

PLEASE ACT NOW: Call and email your own state assemblymember. Tell him or her, “Oppose AB 742 — stop siding with criminals!” And yes, if your assemblymember’s voicemail is “on,” you can leave a weekend message.

Freebies, including ‘sex changes,’ for illegals

Monday, January 8, 2024, 1:31 pm | Randy Thomasson

Tell your friends who are Democrats that Democrat politicians in Sacramento and Washington, DC care more about illegal aliens than about you and your family. 

With a $68 BILLION state budget deficit, Democrat Party Gov. Gavin Newsom and his Democrat state legislators are still giving 2.2 million illegals in California “free healthcare,” which will cost more than $3 BILLION per year, charged to taxpayers.

What’s more, illegal aliens will also receive taxpayer-funded “sex changes,” thanks to Democrat Party Governor Gavin Newsom.

You see, operating without the authorization of any law, Newsom’s Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) recently (and quietly) implemented tax-funded so-called “gender affirming care,” which, according DHCS, “refers to treatment provided to address incongruence between a person’s gender assigned at birth and their gender identity.”

So, when Newsom & the Democrats this month began giving illegal aliens of all ages free health insurance via Medi-Cal (California’s “welfare” health insurance program), these Frankensteinian, irreversible surgeries are included.

Stop and think about it. When illegals get more “freebies,” can drive, vote, become cops, and everything else in California, you know that this favored status is no accident: Democrat Party politicians care more about illegal aliens than about you and your family. Tell your Democrat friends!

Definition of citizen: From Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language:

CITIZEN, noun

1. The native of a city, or an inhabitant who enjoys the freedom and privileges of the city in which he resides; the freeman of a city, as distinguished from a foreigner, or one not entitled to its franchises.

5. In the United States, a person, native or naturalized, who has the privilege of exercising the elective franchise, or the qualifications which enable him to vote for rulers, and to purchase and hold real estate.

If the citizens of the United States should not be free and happy, the fault will be entirely their own.

Definition of illegal alien: From former Arizona state senator Karen Johnson:

In its original language, the Bible used two different words to describe a “foreigner” and an “alien.” A “foreigner” was a person from another land (like a tourist or businessman) who was only in the country temporarily, but with permission. An “alien” was a person from another land who planned to take up residence, again with the permission of the host country.

In his book, Dr. Hoffmeier describes a famous tomb scene dating to the 19th century B.C. which shows workers entering Egyptian territory. One carries a permit in his hand. The writing on the permit is clearly visible, noting the date (1862 B.C.) and the number of foreign workers who were allowed to enter to work in Egypt. Other ancient documents describe both successful and failed attempts to secure the border and restrictions that frontier border guards placed on foreigners entering Egypt. There is much archaeological evidence, according to Dr. Hoffmeier, to document that a foreigner in the ancient Middle East needed permission to travel across borders from one country to another.

When Abraham’s great-grandson, Joseph, the son of Jacob, wanted to bring his father and brothers to Egypt during another great famine in their land, he had to get permission from Pharoah. Even though he held a high position in Pharoah’s court, Joseph himself was not Egyptian. He was a guest in the land … a foreigner.

The bottom line is that amnesty proponents are simply incorrect when they quote the Bible to support comprehensive immigration reform. The Biblical admonition to “Welcome the stranger” is not a call for welcoming illegal aliens. It’s a call to welcome immigrants who follow the law.

“Without liberty, law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression. Without law, liberty also loses its nature and its name, and becomes licentiousness.”
U.S. founding father James Wilson in his 1790 treatise, “Of the Study of the Law in the United States”
