UPDATE — Tuesday, August 23, 10 am: Please call Sacramento RIGHT NOW because the Assembly floor vote on the amended SB 1146 could be Tuesday.

Be glad that SaveCalifornia.com has delivered to state assemblymembers the awful truth about the amended SB 1146. If you can back us up — please leave brief messages to their office right now and ask staffers to take your message to the floor, which is in session.

Your immediate help is especially needed because homosexual activists are urging a yes vote on SB 1146.

Please continue calling your own assemblymember and the deciding votes to urge defeat of the unconstitutional, subjective, and oppressive SB 1146. SCROLL DOWN FOR PHONE NUMBERS.

SCROLL DOWN FOR PHONE NUMBERS TO CALL.

Status: The amended SB 1146 is on the Assembly floor and can be voted on as soon as August 22.

Needed to win: In the 80-member Assembly, it takes 41 votes to pass bills. If no Republican supports SB 1146 and at least 12 Democrats refuse to support it, the bill will be defeated.

red-arrowWHAT TO SAY: Leave a short voicemail message at their Capitol office (and also, if you can, their district office). Just say: “Please oppose the amended SB 1146. The August 19 amendments still harm religious freedom by giving the State subjective and unconstitutional control over religious colleges. Oppose the amended SB 1146 — this bill is still bad!”

Act now to protect the Church from the State

Sunday, June 26, 2016, 9:57 am | Randy Thomasson

Rally_062916_441x240

You’re invited to stand with others in support of God-given and constitutional religious freedom on Wednesday, June 29 in Long Beach, California.

Join others with your moral values to publicly oppose the tyrannical SB 1146, which would permit homosexual and transsexual “students” at religious colleges, universities, bible colleges, and seminaries to file harmful and destructive lawsuits against these religious institutions for “unfair discrimination” — simply for upholding Biblical values and principles on sexual behavior.

If SB 1146 becomes law, say good-bye to man-woman married housing on campus and hello to man-man and woman-woman “married” housing.

If SB 1146 becomes law, say good-bye to female-only dormitories and female-only restrooms, since biological males calling themselves “female” can move in and walk in.

If SB 1146 becomes law, it will be illegal for a Christian college to counsel a student struggling with homosexuality.

If SB 1146 becomes law, Christian colleges cannot get rid of a professor who becomes a homosexual or transsexual activist, indoctrinating students to sin. And the list goes on.

BixbyKnolls3939AtlanticAveThe public protest against SB 1146 is Wednesday, June 29 at 3:45 p.m. at 3939 Atlantic Avenue. This is outside the Long Beach office of SB 1146 author and state Senator Ricardo Lara. Change your schedule and do all you can to be there!

The Greater Los Angeles media will be invited, so please bring yourself, your children and grandchildren, and as many friends as you can to stand up for what’s right in God’s sight this Wednesday, June 29 at 3:45 p.m. in Long Beach.

Bring large signs with easy-to-read message, such as:

  • Hands off our property — NO to SB 1146
  • Keep your hands to yourself, hands off our Christian colleges
  • SB 1146 violates ‘Separation between Church and State’
  • Religious freedom is in the 1st Amendment — Oppose SB 1146
  • SB 1146 unfairly discriminates against Christian colleges
  • SB 1146 is intolerant of Christianity
  • SB 1146 punishes Christianity
  • Oppose intolerance, oppose tyranny, oppose SB 1146
  • SB 1146 discriminates against religious diversity
  • Stealing is wrong — SB 1146 steals from Christian colleges
  • SB 1146 turns Christian colleges into “LGBT” agenda centers
  • Jesus Christ taught against sexual sin in Mark 7:20-23
  • The New Testament teaches against “LGBT”
  • The Bible teaches marriage is only for a man and a woman

“Private universities should not be able to use faith as an excuse to discriminate.”
Democrat state Senator Ricardo Lara, homosexual activist and SB 1146 author

And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
Jesus Christ in Mark 7:20-23

Democrats turned out big to vote, Republicans and the Church didn’t

Wednesday, June 8, 2016, 10:05 pm | Randy Thomasson

SaveCalifornia.com provides this solely for educational purposes
and does not support or oppose candidates for public office.

The 2 statewide races — for president and for U.S. Senate — were dominated by Democrats, and they energized and brought out more Democrats to vote than Republicans.

Official election results | Steve Frank: “Republican Party in California in ICU”

I always hunger for Church renewal, which would not just “balance” the evil forces with the forces of good but would overcome sin. Of course, without repentance, this won’t happen personally or politically.

So, on June 7, there were more wins for anti-family Democrats and notable losses for good Republicans who would have actually fought for children and families.

  • There won’t be any Republican — liberal or conservative — in the U.S. Senate runoff in November. Instead the “choice” will be between two staunch liberals, Democrats Kamala Harris (40%) and Loretta Sanchez (18.5%). Among the Republican candidates, mostly conservative Tom Del Beccarro gained only 4.2%, while liberal, moneyed Republican Duf Sundheim gained 8%. Stalwart conservative Phil Wyman did surprising strong at 4.9%. Add up all the votes for the 12 Republican candidates in this race, and it totals 29.4%. Can you say divide and conquer?
  • I’m personally sad that pro-family champions Andy Pugno of Folsom and Mike Spence of West Covina have fallen short in their Assembly races, that Samuel Anderson lost his Stockton-area state Senate campaign, and that Tim Donnelly of San Bernardino County came short in his congressional bid. These losses for these pro-family fighters are losses for California families.
  • A strong, pro-family conservative named Justin Fareed has gotten more votes than wimpy Republican Katcho Achadjian in the congressional district covering Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. This could be a conservative pick-up in November, as could another congressional seat in San Bernardino County, where a strong pro-family fighter, Republican Paul Chabot, could replace incumbent Democrat Pete Aguilar.
  • Looking ahead, there’s a chance for greater conservative turnout in November if full-blown marijuana legalization joins the grocery store plastic bag ban on the statewide ballot. But that won’t be enough for victory, unless many more individuals and pastors work to define what’s constitutional and pro-family and challenge California voters to open their eyes and ears to the existence and evidence of absolute good and evil.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what
is evil. Cling to what is good. Romans 12:9
