URGENT: Urge Newsom to veto AB 495, stealing kids from their parents

Sunday, July 13, 2025, 6:05 pm | Randy Thomasson

They say you’re the parent, but they strip you of your parental rights.

Of all the evil bills by the ruling Democrats in Sacramento, one of the worst is AB 495, which threatens to eliminate your God-given parental rights if you’re not guarding your children like a hawk or a bear.

Dressed up as a bill purportedly to “provide stability” for children of illegal aliens who are detained by ICE, AB 495 broadly permits ANYONE to take custody of and make school decisions and medical decisions for ANY child in California, behind the backs of parents. This is the most anti-parent bill in California history!

From the July 3, 2025 analysis of the Senate Human Services Committee, which, after their pro-illegal-alien analysis, added the reality analyses of the pro-biological-female groups Women Are Real and Our Duty-USA:

Arguments in Opposition:

According to Women Are Real, “This bill creates a dangerous loophole in California law by granting broad authority over children to unvetted adults. It expands the Caregiver’s Authorization Affidavit to include “nonrelative extended family members,” a category so loosely defined it could include almost anyone—a neighbor, a teacher, a mentor, or a casual acquaintance. Once this form is signed, that adult is legally empowered to enroll a child in school and even make medical decisions. This is all without any court oversight, background check, or verification with the child’s parent or legal guardian. In practice, this opens the door to abuse and trafficking. The bill also makes records of joint guardianship appointments confidential, shielding them from public scrutiny and potentially hindering law enforcement and social services from identifying patterns of abuse.”

According to Our Duty-USA, “AB 495 is a child trafficker’s and kidnapper’s dream bill. There are over 300,000 unaccounted children who have crossed the border. There are countless other children of parents who have failed to pay their debts to the criminals assisting them to get into the United States. Sex-trafficking has replaced drugs as the most lucrative criminal enterprise. And California is once again a leader in harms to children. AB 495 permits ANYONE to claim guardianship over a child if the child’s parents cannot be found or if a person is 18 years or older claims that the parent cannot be found. It is all done legally with a one-page affidavit, and a stranger can claim a child for themselves, control the child’s schooling, medical procedures and of course, move the child into his home.”

That one-page form is found right in AB 495 in Section 5, which says anyone can declare he or she is a “nonrelative extended family member,” who further declares he or she is “unable to contact the parent(s) or other person(s) having legal custody of the minor at this time.

Upon presentation of a copy of this signed form to a school office or medical facility, the self-declared “nonrelative extended family member” is recognized as having “a sufficient basis for a determination of residency of the minor, without the requirement of a guardianship or other custody order,” and the “affidavit shall confer the same rights to authorize medical care and dental care for the minor that are given to guardians under Section 2353 of the Probate Code. The medical care authorized for a relative or nonrelative extended family member caregiver may include mental health treatment subject to the limitations of Section 2356 of the Probate Code.”

Now you know how the left-wing dream of AB 495 is a California parent’s nightmare. And sadly, this horrible bill threatening to rip children from their parents by putting them into the hands of a predator, a mutilator, or worse, is expected to pass the loony, Democrat-Party-controlled State Legislature. What’s more, AB 495 already has the support of two “Republicans,’ Juan Alanis of Stanislaus County and Greg Wallis of the Greater Palm Springs Area, who voted yes on AB 495 on June 3 on the Assembly floor.

However, because termed-out Democrat Party Governor Gavin Newsom is actively running for U.S. President, he’s worth lobbying, because he would be exceedingly stupid to sign AB 495, a bill allowing children to be stolen from their parents by strangers filling out a one-page form.

TAKE QUICK ACTION: Urge Gavin Newsom, who’s indeed running for president in 2028, to veto AB 495.

Send this suggested message: “Governor Newsom, please veto AB 495. This bad bill is written so broadly, it would allow strangers, using a one-page form, to take physical custody of a child, move that child into their residence, decide the child’s schooling, and decide the child’s medical treatment — without any court oversight, background check, or verification with the child’s parent or legal guardian. Please veto this poorly-written bill threatening California parents and their children.”

3 ways to contact Newsom’s legislative staff:

  1. Web form: Click here, then select “Legislation Issues/Concerns,” then “Leave a Comment, ” then select “Con,” then paste in your message, then enter your contact information, then click “submit.”
  2. Phone: The Governor’s “constituent services” phones are answered by staffers who are paid to take your message. Call 916-445-2841 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
  3. Postal mail: You may write to: Governor Gavin Newsom, 1021 O Street, Suite 9000, Sacramento, CA 95814. Please put on the envelope and your letter, “Re: AB 495 — Veto.”

There needs to be a huge outcry about this evil bill permitting the legal kidnapping of vulnerable children. Please share this statewide alert with others!

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

How to save girls’ sports in California

Monday, July 7, 2025, 1:33 pm | Randy Thomasson

Without being cynical or pollyannaish, what are the facts about how to save girls’ sports — for real XX girls — in California?

As long as the Democrat Party politicians “rule” California, the only practical hope is SCOTUS finding that California’s AB 1266 from 2013 violates the 1972 federal law known as Title IX, which requires schools receiving federal funds to offer girls’ sports and girls’ activities if they offer the same to boys.

Because Newsom & Co. is adamant about keeping its unnatural, transsexual “trans identity” agenda going. On July 7, California’s State Department of Education rejected the U.S. Department of Education’s resolution letter, so expect a federal lawsuit, which might be heard along with two other “trans invading girls’ sports” lawsuits just accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court.

This frustrating, multi-year attack by transsexual activists and their Democrat Party politicians upon science, justice, and real girls is another reason SaveCalifornia.com strongly recommends that California parents prioritize rescuing their children.

Here’s our recent social media explaining the facts:


Again, the only practical way to save girls’ sports in California is for the U.S. Supreme Court to rule AB 1266 unconstitutional.

And because the “trans” invasion of girls’ sports is just the tip of the iceberg, the only practical way to rescue your children from a flood of lie-based indoctrination is to permanently exit the anti-family, low-academics, godless government-controlled schools. Our website for parents, RescueYourChild.com, shows you how.

“A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your God.”

The battle for basic social order

Wednesday, June 18, 2025, 11:09 am | Randy Thomasson

Have you noticed now we’re fighting for basic civilization?

The war in Los Angeles County is about enforcement of immigration laws and laws against hoodlums (those burning, vandalizing, injuring, and looting).

Twenty years ago, enforcing laws regarding social order wasn’t controversial. But since then, the Democrat Party has bared its New Communist soul to engage in “revolutionary terror” and “well-organized violence,” and to elevate their raw, naked power over any written laws.

So, on June 14, when millions of Leftists held their “No Kings” protests, SaveCalifornia.com went public about how the hypocritical Left has been slavishly obeying tyrants for years, and that the biggest “king” in California is the unconstitutional and evil Gavin Newsom:

Regarding what the biased Big Media call “protestors,” these hoodlums and vandals attacking police and property are nothing more than re-baked “Black Lives Matter” racists and anarchists — devoted to devilish, Marxist/Communist ideology, which justifies “revolutionary terror” in the pursuit of raw, dehumanizing power.

In 2020, there were “12,045 incidents of U.S. civil unrest” where BLM gangsters stole, killed, and destroyed, resulting in political prisoners andBILLIONS of dollars of damage.

Now, the same type of anarchists have been rampaging in L.A. (and copycats in other cities). which is why President Trump sent in 700 Marines to join 2,100 National Guard troops to quell the violence and even assist ICE in raids and arrests of illegal aliens.

As SaveCalifornia.com reminded our social media follows on June 7:

But the Lying Left doesn’t relent in the face of facts, does it?

This is why perhaps the most wicked Democrat in the California State Legislature announced his anti-ICE bill on June 16. Yet the author, homosexual activist Scott Wiener of San Francisco, is ignoring a key factpointed out by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin: “California has zero authority/jurisdiction to regulate what federal law enforcement does.”

This bad bill targets ICE agents by trying to prohibit them from covering their faces, and requiring them to show ID on their uniforms, by name or other identifier.

Todd Lyons, ICE’s acting director, has defended his officers using facemasks (https://tinyurl.com/5624f7jh), saying they wear them to protect themselves from death threats and online harassment.

Lyons said at a news conference earlier this month in Boston to announce nearly 1,500 arrests in the region as part of a monthlong “surge operation”: “I’m sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line, their family on the line because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is.”

And now, it appears Newsom & Co. is about to get another public black mark for their unconstitutional, anti-American support of violent insurgents.

On June 17, all three judges on a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel seemed to agree that a U.S. president has vast discretion to deploy the military, including a state’s National Guard, where needed.

There’s no definite date when this 3-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will rule. There’s also no court order in effect that pulls back or limits President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth using the California National Guard to protect federal agents and assist with immigration enforcement.
