Facts about the AB 1266 referendum

If you’re like me, you’re angry about the Democrats’ new law requiring transsexual school bathrooms on every public school campus.

As you know, AB 1266 — cobbled together by homosexual-bisexual-transsexual activists, the immoral teachers’ unions, and their Democrat state representatives, who control California state government — forces all K-12 government schools to permit biological boys into girls’ restrooms, showers, clubs, and sports teams, and biological girls into boys’ restrooms, showers, clubs, and sports teams.

But will a ballot referendum protect children from sexual indoctrination? SaveCalifornia.com has always tried to tell you the truth. Here are the facts:

A referendum is so weak, if one succeeds, the Legislature can repeal it the next day. And believe me, the pro-homosexuality-bisexuality-transsexuality Democrats that have iron-fisted control of both houses of the California Legislature will want to. Documentation

Even without a statewide mandate such as AB 1266, school districts can – and are – implementing transsexual bathrooms and other cross-dressing policies. Already, the Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Oakland school districts have done so, with additional union-controlled districts more than likely to follow. And the Obama Administration has already pressured the Arcadia school district in L.A. county to have pro-transsexuality policies. Documentation

Repealing AB 1266 will in no way save children from terrible school sexual indoctrination. AB 1266 is only 1 of 10 school sexual indoctrination laws that already tell children in every government school that homosexuality, bisexuality, cross-dressing/”sex changes,” and heterosexual fornication are good and natural and maybe even for them. AB 1266 is just the tip of the iceberg. Documentation

It takes well over a million dollars, up front, to qualify a referendum for the California ballot. This large sum is needed to pay professional signature gatherers up and down the state, who will stand in front of stores and post offices, and rake in tens of thousands of voter signatures each week. Qualifying a referendum for the ballot requires a minimum of 750,000 raw-count signatures, not 505,000 signatures, which is just above the minimum required verified signatures.

In 2007, the same organizers of the current referendum campaign collected less than half of the raw-count signatures needed in their failed attempt to repeal SB 777, the “LGBT school programs and activities” law; in 2011, they collected just over half the raw-count signatures needed in their unsuccessful effort to repeal SB 48, the “gay history” law. Organizers got more donors and built a bigger mailing list, but average people got discouraged and nothing got on the ballot (which, if these referenda did qualify and a majority of Californians temporarily repealed SB 777 or SB 48 by voting “no” on either ballot referendum, the people’s vote still could have been easily “repealed” by the Democrat-controlled, pro-“LGBT” Legislature).

For all practical purposes, time has already run out for the AB 1266 referendum to qualify for the ballot. Consider these somber facts:

Once an objectionable bill is signed by the Governor, a referendum campaign has 90 days to collect and file 750-850,000 raw-count signatures.

Between the August 12 signing of AB 1266 and August 29, the first day that a two-signature petition was available online, there were 16 days lost, leaving 74 days total.

Of those 74 days, proponents must reserve 7 to 10 days to sort, tabulate, and turn in bundled, segmented signatures to election officials in 58 counties, leaving 64 to 67 days to gather signatures.

To collect the minimum 750,000 raw-count voter signatures in 64 days, proponents need to collect 12,000 unique signatures per day or 84,000 signatures per week for 9 straight weeks. See why you need to raise $2 million to pay professional signature gatherers to quickly spread over the state with their tables and clipboards with long-form petitions?

Where this stands today (Sept. 11) is there are no paid, professional signature gatherers for the AB 1266 referendum, and less than two months to gather 750-850,000 raw-count signatures. Like the unprofessional referendum efforts of 2007 and 2011, the AB 1266 referendum campaign is extremely unlikely to qualify for the ballot, and definitely will not protect California children from unnatural, unhealthy sexual indoctrination in K-12 government schools. I wish it were otherwise. But pro-family Californians need to realize that the very weak vehicle of a ballot referendum is simply not the way to protect moral values in California.

The onlyflyer_color_300px way to protect California children from sexual indoctrination

Since 1999, SaveCalifornia.com has been working, leading, and fighting for the moral values of parents and grandparents. For the sake of children’s innocence and God’s standards, we have opposed every sexual indoctrination law passed by the Democrat lawmakers and signed by either Gray Davis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Jerry Brown.

In 2008, I became the first statewide pro-family leader to publicly call upon parents to remove their children from immorality-teaching government schools. Even if the truth is unpopular, SaveCalifornia.com has tried hard to stand for the truth that protects children and benefits families.

And now, at this stage of California history, given the inherent weaknesses of California ballot referenda, and given that AB 1266 is only 1 of 10 sexual indoctrination laws mandated upon every child in California government schools, the only way to protect your child from the unnatural, unhealthy homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda is to permanently remove your boys and girls from the immoral government schools and to enter the safe havens of homeschooling and biblical church schools.

Again — the only way to protect your kids from perverse policies is to permanently exit the government schools. It’s that serious and that simple. If you want to do something to protect children from perverse sexual indoctrination, please get your kids and grandkids out of the government-run schools and please urge other parents to do the same.

Rescue your children from sexual indoctrination today

As scary as the infiltration in the public school system is, be thankful that there are still options in which to teach a child based on a parent’s preference, allowing for spiritual and emotional nourishment. Both types of schooling provide the time and environment to teach a child the very principles erased from public school curriculum, such as the Christian aspect of our American founding and the principles upon which our Constitution was created.

Dad, you have POWER — for you possess the greatest influence on your children. From you comes God’s select genders for your boys and girls, your deeper voice to guide and comfort them, and your inspiring strength to teach them, provide for them, and protect them. Happy Father’s Day — may you eat and drink of God’s vision for you as a man, and enjoy real purpose and success in His sight.

For whom or what would you die or suffer?

Memorial Day means the most to those who’ve known someone who died in war.

But it can mean something significant to everyone if we’ll just think about it.

Honoring those who’ve given the ultimate sacrifice means we deeply appreciate people who have laid down their lives to protect us from evil. They substituted themselves for us. They died so that we could have liberty.

No greater love

And that’s the greatest love on earth – the sacrificial kind. Jesus Christ, the King and Savior of the world, explained it when He said about Himself, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15:13 NKJV)

It makes me ask myself and ask you, for whom or what would I die or suffer?

Think about it. Hard work gets good things done. And suffering the flesh is a necessary part of becoming holy.

Remembering just wars

I’m convinced that World War II would not have been won on the side of Right unless the United States of America had chosen to enter it and win it. The cost of liberty was many U.S. soldiers died and many Americans suffered through rationing, hard work, and the loss of sons killed in battle.

But when the war ended, and the soldiers came home, and our nation “got back to normal,” Americans largely ignored the existence of evil on our own soil and in our own hearts. Houses, jobs, TV, pleasures, and labor-saving devices were the new pursuit.

Enslaved by lies

Living out traditional values instead of true Christianity, many parents in the late 1940s and early 50s birthed a new generation, of whom many rebelled in the late 1960s and early 70s. Remember the hippie movement? Lies about sex and drugs and God led millions astray, and gave birth to the harmful culture of moral relativism.

Fast forward to today. More than two generations have passed since we’ve made abortion on demand legal, made divorce easy and “guiltless” in the law, and made the carnal ethic of “if it feels good, do it” the deceiving master of our hearts.

Carnal consequences

Given this spiral down the proverbial toilet, is it so hard to see why America is more godless than godly? Pursuing comfort and avoiding suffering hasn’t taught our culture to love God or love children with His values. No, that was “too hard” and didn’t bring immediate gratification.

So what have been America’s just desserts for rebellion against her true King? Moral ruination of children, a generation that shocks us with new inventions of evil, and a people harming themselves with self-induced diseases and dying sooner than their parents. America is imploding from within.

Spirit over flesh

What’s the answer? The value of suffering is clear. For the Spirit to win, the flesh must be defeated. And for the highest love to be demonstrated, the greatest voluntary sacrifice must be given. Do you grasp it? Now is the time for sacrificial love for the sake of ourselves, our families, and our culture.

Again, for whom or what would you be willing to die or suffer? A correct perspective on true love and cultural renewal would make us, in the face of moral challenges, stop asking “Why me?” and begin asking “Why not me?” With faith in the Gospel and love for people, our willingness to “suffer” to do what’s right will be the beginning of changed minds, leading to changed lives.
