Newsom’s U.S. Senate pick: Worse than Feinstein

Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom has announced his appointment to replace the late Dianne Feinstein. And even worse than Feinstein, Laphonza Butler brazenly embraces Newsom’s and Kamala Harris’ immoral agenda:

She’s a leading abortion activist: Butler is currently the head of Emily’s List, a wealthy, Democrat-run pro-abortion political group (Source), which opposes all baby killing restrictions, such as banning abortions when a pre-born baby’s heartbeat is confirmed. (Source)

She’s an “out” lesbian “married” to another woman: Butler and her “wife” are both “LGBTQIA+” activists. In 2020, Butler joined Airbnb as its director of public policy and campaigns , turning it hard against property owners with moral values (Source). Demonstrating she believes all the “LGBTQIA+” lies, Butler wrote last year, “And these are yet again, the same politicians who also don’t believe in science, who are attacking trans-youth and erasing the history of our country by banning books.” (Source)

She’s a former union boss who led revolts against small business owners and coerced millions in ‘dues’: “Butler served as president of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 2015, the nation’s largest home care and nursing home workers union.” (Source) As the Freedom Foundation observed in 2018, “SEIU 2015 deducts a staggering 3 percent of the caregivers’ meager paychecks, which comes to more than $500 per year for many…When a caregiver tries to opt out of union membership, they are sent a 500-word form letter rejecting their request. The letter rambles on about the benefits of union membership and buries instructions on how to “properly” opt out during the annual 15-day escape period.” (Source)

She’s a racist: Butler was on the board of BlackPAC, which defines itself as “an independent, Black-led organization that uses the power of year-round political engagement and elections to change our economic, justice, and political systems…We’re holding our public officials accountable to a policy agenda that defends our rights, promotes dignity, and ends white supremacy.” (Source)

And she doesn’t even live California: “But according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission from September 2023, Butler doesn’t live in California, nor anywhere close to the state. Instead, it appears she lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, a Washington, DC suburb. Using the address listed in the FEC filing, it’s possible to find Butler’s voter registration in Maryland, which is as recent as September 2022 and classifies the Silver Spring address as her “residential” location.” (Source)

Ditch the smiles — Laphonza Butler will further “butcher” our children and our Constitution.

“And the attacks on our rights, the rights to make decisions about our body, the attacks on our voting rights — that is happening with governors and state legislators. And so EMILY’s List specifically is going to be focused on engaging and investing the resources to win at the state and local level so that these are cases that don’t wind their way to the courts.”

URGENT: Tell Newsom to veto these costly bills

Saturday, September 2, 2023, 9:39 pm | Randy Thomasson
SCROLL DOWN FOR ACTION STEPS

On September 1, the Democrat leaders of the California State Legislature, by their actions, challenged Newsom to sign their most radical, unconstitutional, anti-family bills.

By passing hundreds of bad bills in the appropriations committees, your leftist Democrat “rulers” are saying they don’t care what you think, and they actually believe they can “make” Newsom sign their devilish agenda, like he has before.

But this year is different, since California’s uberliberal Democrat governor IS running for president, with a self-induced $31.5 BILLION state budget deficit hanging over his head. And if Newsom doesn’t balance it, his claim he’s a “fiscal conservative” will disintegrate.
Among the hundreds of bad Democrat bills removed from the “suspense file” and passed in the Senate and Assembly appropriations committees Friday are:

AB 659 pushing harmful Gardasil jabs upon junior highers and college students

AB 5 forcing public-school employees into “LGBTQ cultural competency training”

AB 443 discriminating against moral/religious police officers and office candidates

AB 1078 taking away local control of school boards to make curriculum decisions

AB 576 funding all Medi-Cal chemical abortions. at taxpayer expense

SB 58 promoting a raft of “hallucinogenic substances” as “recreational drugs”

SB 274 eliminating suspensions/expulsions of willfully defiant teens (grades 9-12)

SB 345 forcing new costs on cities/counties for abortion/”LGBTQIA+” agenda

SB 407 punishing religious foster parents who don’t support “LGBTQIA+”

SB 541 requiring “internal and external condoms” be available in grades 9-12

SB 596 empowering school boards to arrest “disorderly” parents at meetings

SB 729 requiring insurance to pay for artificial insemination of gays and trans

SB 760 forcing government schools, grades 1-12, to have an “all-gender restroom”

With immoral Democrats controlling three-fourths of each house of the State Legislature, which of these bills might Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom veto?

There have been signs for months that Newsom is sharpening his veto pen.

In the media, he’s repeatedly mimicked his predecessor, Jerry Brown, saying it would not be “prudent” for the state budget to “imbalanced.”

And on September 1, Newsom’s Department of Finance representative was noticeably absent from the front table of the “suspense file” meeting of the Senate Appropriations Committee, where “Finance” is regularly represented. Was this a boycott by the Newsom Administration after being told to get ready for lots of costly bills on his desk? It’s plausible.

So, this is now a “donkey fight,” where the blatantly bad Democrat legislators are challenging another evil Democrat, Governor Gavin Newsom, who, as long as his presidential hopes are alive, wants to put the brakes on additional spending.

NEW ACTION: Urge Newsom to veto these bad bills. Put on the pressure to remind him these radical bills are unpopular.

1. Call Newsom’s constituent services office, Monday-Friday, 9-5 at 916-445-2841. When a staffer answers, they are a person paid to take your simple message of bills you are supporting or opposing. List all the bills in one phone call, but keep it brief.

2. Use Newsom’s web form to oppose all these bad bills at once.

On this page, here are the steps:
1. Under “What is your request or comment about?”, scroll to and select “Legislation Issues/Concerns”
2. Under “What is the purpose of your message?”, select “Leave a Comment”
3. Click “Next” to go to the next page
4. Under “If applicable, what is your stance on this topic?, click “Con”
5. In the message field, simply write in all caps: VETO THESE COSTLY BILLS, then copy and paste in SaveCalifornia.com one-sentence bill descriptions (from the above list)
6. Click “Next” to go to the next page
7. Enter your first and last name and email address (but not your phone number)
8. Click “Submit”

The California State Legislature will adjourn its 2023 session on September 14; the governor will have until October 14 to sign or veto bills.

It is apparent that, those who appear to wield unparalleled power – and, have a disturbing tendency of abusing this, as a means of sadistically and savagely subjugating their fellow countrymen and women, with abundant impunity – can not stand the heat when the tables are turned against them, and will swiftly head for the hills, whenever they perceive any substantial threat.

Terrible! AB 659 pushing injurious Gardasil jabs passes Assembly

Wednesday, May 31, 2023, 9:17 pm | Randy Thomasson

Sadly, the unneeded, ineffective, harmful, anti-family Gardasil bill AB 659 passed the Democrat-controlled California State Assembly Wednesday, May 31, shortly after 11 a.m.

  • Two Republicans spoke against it: Joe Patterson and Devon Mathis
  • 51 Democrats voted yes
  • 10 Democrats abstained: David Alvarez, Sabrina Cervantes, Evan Low, Tina McKinnor, Blanca Pacheco, Sharon Quirk-Silva, James Ramos, Esmeralda Soria, Avelino Valencia, Akilah Weber (later in the day when vote changes were permitted, Alaverez, Cervantes, Low, McKinnor, Ramos, Soria, and Valencia changed their votes to “yes”)
  • 1 Republican voted yes: Greg Wallis
  • 5 Republicans abstained: Phillip Chen, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, James Gallagher, Tom Lackey (later in the day, when vote changes were permitted, Chen and Gallagher changed their votes to “no”)

ALL 18 Republicans should have stood and spoke against this dangerous bill, which if signed into law, will injure many children and young adults. Sadly, the foolish and deceptive “deal” of early April between the AB 659’s author and the “Freedom Angels” to replace the official “mandate” with unofficial dishonesty, coercion, and threats was the key to pass this devilish bill in committee and advance it to the floor.

THANK YOU to all who called and who steadfastly fought against this lie-based bill this winter and spring. Sadly, Big Pharma, Big Medicine, and Big Lies were stronger.

Thanks also to the two Republicans who stood and spoke against the deceptive AB 659: Joe Patterson of Rocklin and Devon Mathis of Visalia.

To be clear, the amended AB 659 does not legally require anyone to bare their arm for a series of Gardasil shots. Yet AB 659 requires parents of every 6th grader in both “public” and private schools (including church schools) to be told:

“It is the public policy of the state that pupils are expected to be fully immunized against human papillomavirus (HPV) before admission or advancement to the 8th eighth grade level of any private or public elementary or secondary school.”

Unfortunately, this means millions of California parents (and hundreds of thousands of collegians, who AB 659 also threatens with Gardasil shots) will falsely think they must be injected or else they can’t go to school or college.

Because the Democrat-controlled State Senate is all the more likely to pass the tyrannical, deceiving AB 659, call and email Governor Gavin Newsom to urge him to veto this misleading bill: 916-445-2841 gov.ca.gov/contact

… he was talked into a flu vaccination. October 13th, Zach returned for a follow up and was talked into accepting the Gardasil and meningococcal vaccines. It was shortly after this that the first phase of his health decline began … I have watched my only child age decades within the span of less than 2 years. It has taken a year and a half later for him to finally find a group of doctors who believe he is Gardasil injured, but they do not know how to treat him.
