Now that the New Year is here, I want to remind you of an important fact of life: People who see themselves as difference-makers indeed succeed.
As Christian motivational speaker Zig Ziglar said, “I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.”
I agree with this, as long as both the means and the end are God-approved. Because ultimately, the only successes that last are those that receive the applause of heaven.
Yet it’s also true that persistence and endurance are Bible-based qualities, as are the values of faith, hope, and love for Creator God and people.
I hope these admirable merits describe you as a follower of SaveCalifornia.com. I know they reflect my desires as the leader of our Christian-values organization since our founding in 1999.
Truth-tellers and difference-makers have an incredible opportunity in California right now. Because the pain and fear caused by the New Communist Democrats are definitely being felt. From inflation to crime to illegal aliens to transients to crazies targeting kids, reasonable Californians want solutions to big problems!
You and SaveCalifornia.com are part of the answer. As we educate the public on the cause and effect of problems, and point the way toward solutions, more people will follow, learn, and change. From the Bible, from history, and from real life, I know this to be true.
Thank you for following or even financially supporting SaveCalifornia.com’s work for you in 2023. For 2024, I wish you a Courageous and Faith-Filled New Year!

As a follower of SaveCalifornia.com, you know all you hold dear is under severe attack. And you also know the fight for your values, your rights, and your family must continue and grow … or evil will win by default.

Our mission is to raise the standard of Truth in California. But we can’t do it without you! Please donate today.
As I look back on 2023, I’m thankful for what we accomplished on your behalf, including:
• Exposing our domestic enemies – Democrat & RINO politicians, Big Media, Big Pharma, educrats, and union bosses, targeting your rights, values, and everything you own
• Opposing the worst Democrat bills, providing insight and analysis on our Legislation Center, and winning a significant veto of the anti-parent, anti-religious-freedom AB 957
• Warning families how to avoid the harmful AB 659 (pushing Gardasil shots) and anti-family AB 665 (legally emancipating 12-year-olds); showing dads and moms how to rescue their kids from sexual indoctrination laws and take back their parental rights
• Informing and activating Californians up and down the state, on all our platforms, to join us by rising up to protect children, promote moral values, and fight for basic rights
With your year-end gift or pledge, we can fight for you in 2024 by:

• Growing our influence through social media, email, web, and radio
• Working, speaking, and fighting on behalf of your values, rights, and family
And with Gavin Newsom eyeballing the White House as he runs a “shadow campaign,” his long list of devastating failures and harms he has committed must be shouted from the rooftops! Never before has the saying “as California goes, so goes the nation” been more real than now.

When Democrat politicians Gavin Newsom, his attorney general Rob Bonta, and state schools chief Tony Thurmond attacked parents’ God-given rights this summer, more parents understood the only way to rescue their kids is by exiting the government schools.
So expect more California families to homeschool! Because each year, an increasing number of parents are realizing Democrat-run schools are bad. Look at these stats:
On Oct. 31, the Washington Post reported California homeschooling increased a whopping 78% between the 2017 and 2022 school years. What momentum to rescue defenseless boys and girls!
And California’s most recent stats (updated Nov. 8) demonstrate public support for real school choice is growing:
- 70% of adults and 75% of parents of school-aged children support the idea of education savings accounts (a synonym for vouchers).
- 59% of parents of school-aged children want 1 or more days a week of home-based education for their kids.
- 48% of parents of school-aged children would choose homeschooling or private school if they could afford it.
- 35% of adults say the main purpose of education is to instill “values, moral character, religious virtues”
And a thrilling trend nationally — 2023 has been the year of universal (full) school choice. Rejoice that this year, EIGHT states have either created a new universal choice program or expanded an existing program to include all students.
As reported in late September by Ed Choice:
North Carolina joins Iowa, Utah, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Ohio in creating new universal choice programs this year or expanding existing choice programs to include all or nearly all students. They join Arizona and West Virginia, where universal programs previously existed. Today, some 36% of students nationwide are eligible for a private choice program, a 60% increase from just two years ago.
This national momentum for real school choice (receiving back money for private school or homeschooling) will create a better national character and will eventually bring private school choice to California.
Despite the lying Establishment defeating universal school choice on the California ballot in 1994 and 2000, parental discontent with government-controlled “education” has kept growing. And it might be near the “tipping point.” Because over time, California parents and grandparents are going to want what children in other states enjoy — the financial means to exit bad schools!
TAKE ACTION:
1. Rescue your own children and grandchildren with the help of our special site, RescueYourChild.com.
2. Tell others how parents need to be able to spend their own tax money on the school of their choice.
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
The Bible, Proverbs 22:6
