Your phone calls made an impact, but Republican assemblymembers failed us

Sunday, May 29, 2022, 5:07 pm | Randy Thomasson

Memorial Day (originally Decoration Day remembering Civil War dead) honors men who gave the “ultimate sacrifice” for our country. But which “good” politicians sacrifice for you?

I know from the Bible that true love a) gives b) what God approves, and c) sometimes to our own hurt. As Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world and God in the flesh, taught in the Parable of the Good Samaritan, and in John 15:13, when He said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends,” the greatest love is sacrificial.

What if sacrificial love were the norm for true Christians? For true love plus active repentance of personal sin is the spiritual recipe for healing our land.

On this theme of virtuous love, if you followed SaveCalifornia.com’s lead and made phone calls against the medical tyranny bills and infanticide bill on the Assembly floor, I thank you for making a noticeable impact.

Remember, for nearly two weeks, we targeted 28 (and near the end, 30) deciding votes (29 Democrats and 1 “independent”) with a flood of phone calls. What’s more, all of them, including all 19 Republicans, received at their State Capitol offices the facts of these awful bills: AB 2098 | AB 1797 | AB 2223.

Yet even without these Republicans speaking against these bills on the floor (they were silent and didn’t fight for us at all — see the passage of AB 2223), together, we pulled off more than a dozen Democrats. This was your admirable impact — thank you for giving us a real chance. But sadly, none of the 19 Republicans tried to defeat these bad bills!

See how close we got on the Assembly floor, where 41 “yes” votes pass bills:

On AB 1797 to segregate Californians in a “Covid vaccine” database, 1 Democrat voted no and 16 Democrats abstained or did not vote (two were absent), so AB 1797 initially passed by just 2 votes (abstaining Republicans later changed their votes to “no”).

On AB 2223 to prohibit law enforcement from investigating infant deaths, thus permitting infanticide, 1 Democrat voted no, independent” Chad Mayes voted no, and 13 Democrats abstained or did not vote (two were absent), so AB 2223 initially passed by just 4 votes (an abstaining Republican later changed his vote to “no”).

On AB 2098 to revoke the licenses of doctors that counsel patients against the “Covid vaccine,” 13 Democrats and “independent” Chad Mayes abstained or did not vote (two were absent), so AB 2098 initially passed by just 5 votes (abstaining Republicans later changed their votes to “no”).

Again, these atrocious bills passed because all 19 Assembly Republicans didn’t fight for us. From all my years in Sacramento, I know the impact of even one Republican strongly opposing a bad bill on the Assembly floor will put questions and fear into targeted Democrats’ minds, triggering abstentions. If even a couple of Republicans had raised their mics to expose AB 2098, AB 1797, and AB 2223, we could have won!

So don’t blame Creator God or “fate” — blame evil Democrats and unloving Republicans. Which is why voting this primary election is so important. In many legislative districts, you can choose what kind of Republican you want representing you. And I encourage you to vote and help your friends vote for moral constitutionalists who will fight for you!

Lastly, I want to tell you that SaveCalifornia.com tries hard to select battles we can win. Like General George Washington, who avoided battles he knew he would lose, we’ll only ask you to make phone calls when there’s a plausible opportunity to change votes.

Which is why SaveCalifornia.com steadfastly opposes SB 866, which would lower the age of “consent” for vaccines down to age 12. The next battle over this anti-family bill is Wednesday, June 1 @ 8:30am in the Assembly Judiciary Committee. This fight is especially worth it because one of the Republican committee members has implied he’ll speak and fight against SB 866. So please participate!

In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the Lord;
He who swears to his own hurt and does not change.
Psalm 15:4

“Who, then, of these three, seems to you to have become neighbor of him who fell among the robbers?” And he said, “He who did the kindness with him,” then Jesus said to him, “Be going on, and you be doing in like manner.”
Luke 10:36-37

“…if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14

Democrat politicians for infanticide

Tuesday, April 5, 2022, 3:24 pm | Randy Thomasson

Thank you to everyone who called to oppose AB 2223, the devilish Democrat bill that would legalize the killing of newborn babies with no law enforcement investigation allowed. You are on the side of truth and life and justice, while the Democrat politicians voting today to advance this infanticide bill are your polar opposites.

Despite the Democrat-controlled Assembly Judiciary Committee approving AB 2223 on April 5, at the hearing, this baby-killing bill was exposed by an expert opposition witness, attorney Susan Arnall of the California-based Right to Life League.

While more than a hundred individuals opposed AB 2223 in committee — in person or by phone — no individuals spoke in support of the bill — only pro-abortion groups, such as the misnamed Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, American Civil Liberties Union, Lawyers for Reproductive Justice, and National Advocates for Pregnant Women.

See the vote: All six of the committee’s ruling Democrats robotically voted for AB 2223. And while the minority Republicans did not support it, they were lackluster, with none speaking against this infanticide bill to expose it.

Democrats
Eloise Reyes of San Bernardino
Robert Rivas of Salinas
Brian Maienschein of San Diego
Mark Stone of Santa Cruz
Chris Holden of Pasadena
Ash Kalra of San Jose

Republicans
Jordan Cunningham of San Luis Obispo (wasn’t there — did not vote)
Laurie Davies of San Juan Capistrano
Devon Mathis of Visalia (replaced Kevin Kiley of Rocklin on the committee)

Thank you to everyone who called and showed up and gave this murderous bill a well-deserved black eye. Our best chance to defeat AB 2223 is on the Assembly floor, where even Democrat members are much more likely to “vote their conscience.” Next step is the Assembly Health Committee.

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

Psalm 127:3-5

Both Newsoms: Let convicted murderers live; kill innocent pre-born babies

Thursday, March 24, 2022, 8:50 am | Randy Thomasson

Uber-liberal Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom was such in a rush to sign more innocent babies’ death warrants, his hair got out of place.

With his “First Partner” by his side, Newsom on Tuesday, March 22 signed SB 245 to force health insurers to 100% pay to kill pre-born babies via abortion (no more co-pays).

Said Newsom: “As states across the country attempt to move us backwards by restricting fundamental reproductive rights, California continues to protect and advance reproductive freedom for all. With this legislation, we’ll help ensure equitable, affordable access to abortion services so that out-of-pocket costs don’t stand in the way of receiving care.”

So if you’re “unwanted” or an “accident” (unplanned conception by your father and mother), Newsom and “Partner” (and all the Democrat legislators who voted for it) want you to be torturously murdered. How unjust! Mr. and Mrs. Newsom (if the “First Partner” consents to this traditional title) support and make you subsidize ongoing life for convicted murderers (no capital punishment during Newsom’s reign), and at the same time the Newsoms support and force health insurers and ratepayers (you) to subsidize the inhuman torture and murder of innocent pre-born babies. They’re evilly calling wrong “right” and right “wrong.”

A two-year bill, SB 245 passed the Democrat-controlled State Senate last year, but was “held” by the State Assembly before the recall election. This year, it was rushed through the Democrat-controlled State Assembly, with an Assembly floor vote March 17, then a Senate concurrence vote March 21.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are pregnancy support groups in California and across the nation who are there to help women through unexpected pregnancies, whether they choose to keep their baby or place him or her for adoption. Please help mothers in crisis pregnancies to find pro-life help, not pro-death harm.

For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

Psalm 139:13-16
