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.

SB 1146 is secular thievery of sacred things

Wednesday, July 27, 2016, 1:55 pm | Randy Thomasson

arrows

The latest amendments to SB 1146 do more damage against religious freedom and permit the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, tyrannical “LGBTIQ” agenda to grab more sacred territory from Christian-format colleges and universities.

The June 29 amendments to this bill, which have captured the attention of a growing number of believers, says religious campuses can’t have student housing — or even restrooms, for that matter — unless biological men can sleep among the women and use women’s restrooms too: “…if students are afforded housing or restroom accommodations consistent with their gender identity.”

The amended SB 1146 also demands that religious colleges’ married housing must include “married same-sex couples.”

The bill also forces unbiblical re-writes of Christian-format colleges’ “rules of moral conduct” and “religious practices” by demanding they be “uniformly applicable to all students regardless of the student’s sexual orientation or gender identity.”

And this paragraph from the Legislative Counsel’s Digest means anything done on campus in favor of biblical standards against homosexuality and transsexuality can be PUNISHED by a big lawsuit with big fines:

“This bill would, except as provided, specify that a postsecondary educational institution that is controlled by a religious organization and that receives financial assistance from the state or enrolls students who receive state financial assistance is subject to that prohibition and violation of that prohibition may be enforced by a private right of action.”

This is why people who know their conscience is theirs and their property is theirs are rising up and flooding the deciding votes with opposition calls to SB 1146, one of the worst anti-religious-freedom bills ever dreamt up on American soil.

SB 1146 violates the line between secular and sacred

Monday, June 27, 2016, 10:01 am | Randy Thomasson

SB1146v2_441x240

Please pick up the phone right now to defend Christian colleges from homosexual and transsexual activists. For if you don’t act now and “hold the line” against SB 1146, the forces of darkness will come for you next.

The Democrats at the State Capitol don’t like Christian colleges. The Bible offends them. Jesus Christ’s words against adultery, fornication, and lewdness — and the Savior’s definition of marriage as only for one man and one woman – all this offends these politicians.

So the Democrats want to punish Christian colleges by permitting homosexual and transsexual students to go to court and sue these colleges into becoming non-Christian, pro-perversity campuses instead. It’s like turning light into dark, right into wrong, and life into death.

MAKE JUST 3 CALLS

Please take immediate action to save religious freedom. Tell Sacramento, “Maintain separation of Church and State. SB 1146 violates the line between sacred and secular. Please vote no!”

1. Call both your state assemblymember and state senator. Find them here

2. Call Governor Jerry Brown 916-445-2841

Want to do more? (Note: This is updated information as of Monday, June 27 @ 3pm) If you’re within driving distance of Sacramento, come to the Thursday, June 30 hearing on SB 1146 as soon as 11am in Room 444. And if you live in Southern California, rally for religious freedom and against SB 1146 on Wednesday, June 29 at 3:45pm.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
