Pro-family, constitutional Californians are breathing a sigh of relief now that one of the worst Democrat bills of the year has been stopped.
On January 31, AB 1400 to replace private insurance with a big-government program that would have rationed medical treatment, created long waiting lists, and imposed new, high taxes was stopped on the floor of the California State Assembly.
So now, AB 1400, which was introduced in 2021, is dead for the year. Because the California State Constitution, Article IV, Section 10(c), in its first sentence, reads: “Any bill introduced during the first year of the biennium of the legislative session that has not been passed by the house of origin by January 31 of the second calendar year of the biennium may no longer be acted on by the house.”
But how was AB 1400 defeated? Especially when there are currently 56 Democrats in the 80-member Assembly (there are four vacant Democrat seats), who have a vise-grip hold that’s more than a two-thirds majority, allowing Democrats to pass any bill they want?
Because it was a perfect storm. As ultra-left-wing “resetting” Democrats pushed government-controlled health care, it seems most everyone else came against AB 1400: Doctors and hospitals and insurance companies, business associations, and taxpayer advocates strongly opposed it. And most private unions, which want to keep their high-paid health plans, sat on the sidelines, refusing to support AB 1400’s elimination of private health insurance.
These large, secular forces provided the primary lobbying. Providing secondary influence were concerned Californians (like you), who called and emailed, creating a noticeable flood of opposition. The calls and emails the last few days before the scheduled vote were “insurance,” if you will, for the direct lobbying of all the others.
A final takeaway is that even when the New Communist Democrats have a sizable majority, you can depend on new topics — like eliminating private health insurance — containing more shock value than old ones. And, in my opinion, this big “spanking” of the Assembly Democrats by ferocious direct and indirect lobbying should be remembered — and provide restraint against a new bill — for at least a year. Thank you for participating in this important, rare victory against big, new tyranny!

Do you have any regrets in life? Of course you do. And if you could go back in time and choose differently, would you?
Apply this to life in California under Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, where:
— One-third of California restaurants were permanently closed in 2020-2021 — Thousands of Californians lost their jobs just because they didn’t want the “jab” — He sided with anti-family teachers’ unions, not science, to keep schools closed — Millions of children are being unnecessarily masked for several hours each day — Children in government schools are being sexually indoctrinated all the more — Preborn babies are even more in danger of losing their God-given right to life — Tens of thousands of convicts — including violent criminals — have been released — Convicted murderers — who forced victims to lose their lives — won’t lose their own — Water has been released, wasted, and prohibited without building new dams — $150 million has been siphoned away from the state’s fire protection budget — California wilderness has 163 million dead trees, providing explosive wildfire fuel — Homelessness and transient crimes have skyrocketed, endangering families — $30 BILLION In fraudulent payments have been made by the Governor’s EDD — California has abnormally high gas taxes and regulations driving up prices — We no longer are a “government of the people, by the people, for the people”
So today, the question for you and your friends is would you “hire” Gavin Newsom again by voting “no,” or will you “fire” him by voting “yes,” in the September 14 Recall Election?
Please seize this opportunity to use social media and email to tell others how you’re voting, why it matters so much, and urge them to vote today. Act now before it’s too late!

Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom with Democrat Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks of Oakland (California’s murder capital), a close ally of Newsom and the main author of the proposed “vaccine mandates” and “vaccine passports” amendments for AB 455.
Late Monday, when Democrat-controlled newspapers reported what Buffy Wicks, a Gavin-Newsom-loving Democrat state Assemblywoman told them, I rejoiced that the proposed statewide “vaccine passport” of AB 455 is “dead for the year.” Look at these headlines:
— “Democratic lawmakers drop their idea of a California statewide vaccine mandate” — “California Democrats drop plan to require COVID vaccines to work, go to most public places” — “Proposed California vaccine verification bill on ice” — “Vaccine requirement for California workers shelved for the year”
The demise of this unscientific proposal, to deny health-conscious people basic necessities and jobs unless they get a risky injection in their arms, is a result of thousands of righteously angry Californians calling and emailing.
Because a “vaccine passport” is controversial, and since the “lobby” in favor of it is new and not overwhelming, this was a definite opportunity to win. And so quick action by liberty-loving citizens paid off, flooding Sacramento with thousands of calls and emails for several days, and stopping this monstrous bill before it was formally introduced. The ruling Democrats wanted to avoid loss and protect Gavin Newsom from upset voters!
If you participated with SaveCalifornia.com in helping to expose and oppose AB 455’s proposed “vaccine passport,” you are part of this victory — thank you big-time!
However, with Gavin Newsom’s tyrannical “vaccine mandates” upon state workers, health care workers, and schoolteachers, and with too many big businesses becoming Newsom’s human-crime accomplices, health-conscious Californians need help overcoming the decidedly un-American threat of “the jab or your job.” Here’s my advice:
— Grasp the fact that Covid-related deaths in California is currently 0.01 or 0.02 “deaths per 100K.” This means if you’re infected with any form of Covid, your chance of dying from it is either 1 in 5 million or 1 in 10 million — much lower than your chance of dying from walking, driving, eating, or being hit by a bolt of lightning
“I think this whole pandemic from the beginning was about the vaccine. So I think all roads lead to the vaccine and what it means. There are already places in southeast Asia and Europe — they’re laying the groundwork for compulsory vaccination — I mean, compulsory — that means somebody pins you down to the ground and puts a needle in you. That’s how bad stakeholders want vaccination … This ‘needle in every arm’ is a very important moniker. Why? The tension that Americans are feeling right now, as they’re trying to keep their jobs and go to work, is they know they could die of the vaccine — that’s the problem!” Renowned American physician and Covid expert Dr. Peter McCullough, May 2021
