Oppose Prop. 50, the unfair, racist, gerrymandering scheme

Saturday, August 23, 2025, 10:46 am | Randy Thomasson
Squiggly-drawn, gerrymandered districts drawn by the Democrat-Party-controlled California State Legislature BEFORE the 2008 creation of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission, which drew fairer districts in 2010 and 2020.

Well, they’ve done it: The ruling Democrat Party politicians in Sacramento — Newsom & Co. — have passed their unfair, racist, tyrannical gerrymandering plan to take to the voters this September and October.

Yes, there’s going to be a statewide special election in California for the sole purpose of eliminating 5 Republican congressional seats. Everyone who is just and fair should oppose this, because squiggly-drawn districts don’t represent specific communities or regional areas, but are crassly drawn to ensure one political party always wins.

Remember, this is not because the Republican governor and legislature of Texas did something immoral and wrong. No, Texas got rid of racially-drawn districts and made them fair again. But Newsom & Co. likes race-based districts and unfairly drawn lines that are not homogeneous in nature, but artificially drawn for the specific purpose of cutting up Republican voters, thus eliminating Republican seats. Now that’s unfair!

Right now, most Californian voters support keeping the “independent” commission that has drawn district lines twice, in 2010 and 2020, using census data. But there’s going to be an expensive September campaign to try to lie to the voters and get them to pass this monstrosity.

ACTION: Please share these facts with your friends, and urge them to vote NO on Proposition 50 in the November 4, 2025 statewide special election. Spread the word, stand up for what’s good and right and fair, and reject Gavin Newsom’s power-hungry, racist scheme, which might, just might, blow up in his face.

gerrymandering: the practice of dividing or arranging a territorial unit into election districts in a way that gives one political party an unfair advantage in elections.
Gerrymandering definition, Merriam-Webster Dictionary

“What’s going on right now is one of the most outrageous threats to democracy we’ve ever seen in this state … their entire strategy is trying to fool voters because it was voters that put this commission in place and voters have clearly now said that they want it to stay there.”
U.S. Representative Kevin Kiley of California, describing Prop. 50

“You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume. You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin [an 8-quart measuring container]: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.”
The Bible, Leviticus 19:35–36

Strategy and action to combat election fraud

Saturday, August 9, 2025, 11:51 am | Randy Thomasson

You want fair and just elections, meaning you can’t vote twice in the same election. And you want constitutional elections, where only U.S. citizens may vote.

We need this nationwide — and there are 3 current efforts worth supporting:

1. President Trump: No illegals to be counted in the 2030 census
2. U.S. Supreme Court: Will hear case challenging race-based districts
3. U.S. Congress: Kevin Kiley’s bill prohibiting redistricting beyond Census years (this would stop Texas and California and all other states from drawing new district boundaries more than once per decade)

Regarding #3, here’s how you can urge your own U.S. House of Representatives member to support H.R. 4889 to “To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment.” Find your House member, then call or email their Washington, D.C. and local offices.)

This is much better than the Republican state of Texas attempting to redraw legislative and congressional district lines (an effort that is moral and constitutional, to eliminate race-based districts), with the resultant rivalry of California and other Democrat-Party-controlled states threatening to redistrict for raw political power to try to regain control of the U.S. House.

As I wrote on July 26, at the start of this controversy:

“The Democrat Party governors of CA, IL, NY, and NJ are scheming for an unconstitutional POWER PLAY — special legislative sessions to gerrymander (unfairly redraw) additional Democrat Party districts to take over the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026. They say they’re only reacting to the Texas Legislature. However, the Texas redistricting plan is BASED ON PRINCIPLE to correct blatantly unconstitutional, racially-based gerrymandering from the past.” 

“But to put a stop to the Democrat Party governors’ so-called “justified” power grabs, Texas Republicans should abandon their effort, and wait for the Trump Administration to pursue a U.S. Supreme Court decision prohibiting racially-drawn congressional districts nationwide.”

SaveCalifornia.com’s strategy is not wimpy, but wise. For instead of provoking Democrats to win back the U.S. House of Representatives, it would be much better to ban race-based districts nationwide via a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which would positively impact all 50 states.

Meanwhile, President Trump banning illegals from the upcoming census estimating local populations of U.S. House districts could result in Democrat Party politicians losing between 20 and 30 House seats.

Bottom line, this is the time to fight for election integrity — so get energized and fight for it!

Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD,
But a just weight is His delight.

The Bible, Proverbs 11:1

What does it mean to be ‘free’?

Thursday, July 3, 2025, 8:15 am | Randy Thomasson
What’s the real definition of “freedom”?

When it comes to being an American who’s truly free from sinful slavery, context and definition matter!
As you prepare to celebrate Independence Day, stop and realize that the “freedom” our U.S. founding fathers wrote about and fought for is freedom to do what’s right in God’s sight.

This is why an American Revolutionary War cry was “No king but King Jesus.” And it’s why U.S. Founding Father John Adams said he wanted to live in a free country where he could exercise his Christian values without punishment.

So embrace your freedom! But instead of redefining freedom as freedom to sin and do whatever you want, understand that true American freedom is our freedom to obey God rather than obeying immoral tyrants – including the tyranny of our own flesh.

From Heritage Foundation’s “Why the American Founding Matters”

The American Founding is a unique and remarkable moment in human history, marking the beginning of a new order of the ages. It was the first time the people, as the only earthly source of political authority, exercised their right to establish government based on their consent.

As Alexander Hamilton observed in the opening salvo of the first Federalist paper, Americans were “to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government on the basis of reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force.”

The Founding generation understood that they were dramatis personae on the world stage, cast and called to prove the capacity of mankind for self-government. If they succeeded, the forces of despotism would never again find their ambitions unobstructed.

Excerpt from Fourth of July sermon outlines:

Biblical freedom is not self-centered. It is others-focused. Christ sets us free not so we can do whatever we want, but so we can finally do what we were created for—loving God and serving others.

In a culture that defines freedom as individual rights, God’s Word reframes it as relational responsibility. The freest people are those who no longer live for themselves.

Practical advice: Look around. Who can you serve today? What can you sacrifice to uplift someone else? Use your freedom to bring life and healing to those in need.

So, stand firm. Don’t go back to chains. Live free—not for yourself, but for Christ and His Kingdom. Use your liberty to bless others, walk in holiness, and glorify God. That is true freedom—and you have it in Christ.

Confirmed quotations of U.S. founding fathers:

“Whosoever shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world.”
– Benjamin Franklin

“I have always said and always will say that the studious perusal of the Sacred Volume will make us better citizens.”
– Thomas Jefferson

“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”
– John Quincy Adams

“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.”
– Samuel Adams

“Because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion … our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
– Letter of President John Adams in 1798
