Above is a screenshot of the June 16 Assembly floor vote to amend SB 866 by raising minimum age of “consent” from 12 to 15. Thirty-three Democrats initially voted “aye” (yes) to amend SB 866 to make it easier to pass (then five more Democrats added on, bringing the “ayes” to 38). Eighteen out of 19 Republicans voted “no” (but Republican Jordan Cunningham added his “no” vote later) and 3 Democrats voted “no” (Sharon Quirk-Silva, James Ramos, Carlos Villapudua). Abstaining were independent Chad Mayes and 22 Democrats (of these, five ultimately voted “aye” (yes) to amend SB 866: Wendy Carrillo, Sabrina Cervantes, Eduardo Garcia, Adrin Nazarian, Robert Rivas).
UPDATE, JULY 12: 2022: The alert on this page is replaced by our July 12 alert opposing all 4 anti-parent bills, SB 866, SB 1184, SB 1419, and SB 1479.
UPDATE JUNE 30, 2022: The Democrat-controlled California Assembly has adjourned for a whole month without taking a vote today on the radical anti-parent SB 866. Thank you to everyone who’s called to oppose this terrible bill. You are winning on this pro-family/medical-freedom issue!
UPDATE JUNE 20, 2022: Despite gaining another Democrat member (there are now 60 Democrats in the 80-member California State Assembly), the amended SB 866 was skipped over in Monday’s floor session. BIG THANKS to all who KEPT CALLING. The amended bill has failed its 1st test, but please keep calling below:
TAKE QUICK ACTION. Seize this momentum to kill the radical anti-parent bill SB 866. Realize that SB 866’s unconstitutional, immoral, anti-family Democrat author, Scott Wiener of San Francisco, only amended his bill because he DID NOT HAVE THE VOTES to pass it. This means your phone calls and more have worked!
Scroll down for your new action steps (effective June 16, 2022)
Understand: The amended bill is still bad, because raising the age of “consent” to any and every vaccine from 12 years old in the original bill to 15 years old in the amended SB 866 still obliterates parental consent and informed consent. A minor is still a minor!
SB 866 is wrong because it pretends minors can give “informed consent” to vaccines without a parent’s consent. But children do not have the wisdom, maturity, and brain development to accurately determine risks, including whether they could suffer an adverse reaction from an injection.
Realize this: SB 866 flies in the face of numerous adults-only laws. For example, in California, you have to be 18 years or older to vote, to buy a shotgun or rifle, to buy “medical marijuana,” to enter into a binding contract, to buy or sell property, to marry without parental consent, to sue or be sued, to make a will, to inherit property outright, to consent to most types of medical treatment, to join the military without parental consent, to get a job without a special work permit, to serve on a jury, to donate blood without parental consent, to become an organ donor without parental consent, to apply for credit in your own name, to get a permanent tattoo on your skin, to get your skin pierced without parental consent, to legally change your name, to play the lottery, or to gamble. To claim a child can make adult decisions endangers children.
What’s next: Officially amended on Thursday, June 16, SB 866 can be heard as soon as the Thursday, June 23 1pm Assembly floor session.
3 NEW EASY STEPS = 3 CATEGORIES OF EFFECTIVENESS
1) Call or email your own state assemblymember 2) Call deciding votes (nearly all Democrats) 3) Call Republicans and demand they speak on the floor
SCROLL DOWN FOR STEPS 1, 2, and 3 + CALL LISTS
STEP #1.Call or email YOUR OWN state assemblymember. Tell him or her “You need to oppose the amended SB 866. Children are still children and this is still a radical anti-parent bill. The law recognizes dozens of important things you can’t decide until you’re 18 or 21. SB 866 eliminates parental consent and informed consent. Stand and speak AGAINST this bad bill on the floor, and vote NO!” Click here to find your California assemblymember’s phone numbers and web form
STEP #2:Call the 31 DECIDING VOTES BELOW that we’ve identified by leaving after-hours anonymous voicemail messages(this means calling (no emailing) 7pm to 8am, and weekends).
Tell them, “Oppose the amended SB 866. Children are still children and this is still a radical anti-parent bill. The law recognizes dozens of important things you can’t decide until you’re 18 or 21. SB 866 eliminates parental consent and informed consent — vote NO.”
If your own state assemblymember is one of the 19 Assembly Republicans, demand they “Stand and speak against SB 866. Don’t ask questions of the floor jockey, but stand and speak to expose the harms of SB 866.”
Tina McKinnor 916-319-2062 and 310-412-6400: The newest assemblywoman and Democrat from the Inglewood/Venice/Hawthorne/LAX area of Los Angeles County was sworn into office on June 20.

It’s the day after, and the dust is settling in California’s just-concluded “jungle primary” election.
And while the numbers will change each day until the primary election results are “certified” on July 15, I’m seeing evidence that Californians against government tyranny are more motivated than liberal voters. And I believe there’s the potential for some statewide offices to be captured by constitutional Republicans (or in the state schools chief contest, an in-reality reformer).
Are Californians voting more Republican?
Is California experiencing a conservative resurgence? With all the pain of the last two years, there’s evidence of Californians’ growing support for Republican candidates (especially Republicans who will fight for them) over Democrat candidates:
First, as I watched vote changes late into the night, in most statewide contests, the leading Republican’s lead kept increasing, while the leading Democrat’s numbers (usually the incumbent) kept decreasing.
Second, the initial election-night report of voter turnout showed reliably Republican counties with the highest voter turnout. If we consider recall-energized San Francisco the Democrats’ “high watermark” at 25% turnout, and exclude very-low-population Alpine County, the highest voter turnout was in the Republican strongholds of Mariposa County (42%), Amador County (41%), Sierra County (40%), Plumas County (37%), Modoc County (32%), Calaveras County (30%), El Dorado County (26%), and Del Norte County (26%).
Third, a Northern California congressional shows voters preferring a Republican fighter over his more-establishment Republican opponent. As I write this, Assemblyman Kevin Kiley has more than twice the votes of Sacramento Sheriff Scott Jones.
Because of the harmful manifestations of anti-people policies by the New Communist Democrats in California and Washington, D.C., I’m not surprised if votes for Republican candidates are indeed higher. And, ideally, imagine the surge in the upcoming general election if biblical pastors promoted voting as a clear, practical application of Jesus Christ’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself.” How transformative that would be!
5 statewide seats that could flip
California has eight state constitutional offices that are held by one person. Seven are partisan (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Controller, Treasurer, Attorney General, and Insurance Commissioner) and one is non-partisan (Superintendent of Public Instruction).
And while there’s just over a month to count the remaining votes, I see five statewide seats that could be taken from the ruling Democrats:
1. Controller: This is an open seat (incumbent Democrat Betty Yee is termed-out), and the first-place lead of 37% for taxpayer advocate Lanhee Chen. Veteran fiscal watchdog and current U.S. Representative Tom McClintock observed, “The controller’s office is the ideal office from which to wage a crusade in which to eliminate government waste.”
2. Insurance Commissioner: The incumbent Democrat, radical homosexual activist Ricardo Lara, only garnered 37%, which makes him politically vulnerable. I mean, has anyone’s insurance premiums gone down lately? “Reagan Republican” Robert Howell has a chance take this seat if California has a “conservative wave” in the November election.
3. State Superintendent of Public Instruction: The incumbent Democrat, Tony Thurmond of Oakland, received only 45.7% of the vote. With government unions running government schools, which made even liberal parents angry when schools were closed last year, this might be a perfect storm for pro-parent reformer George Yang.
4. Attorney General: The appointed incumbent Democrat, Rob Bonta, along with Governor Gavin Newsom, is incurring statewide blame for the current crime wave. Receiving 54.5% of the vote, Bonta might be deposed by hard-hitting, tough-on-crime messaging by Republican challenger Nathan Hochman.
5. U.S. Senator: Appointed incumbent Democrat Alex Padilla received only 53-54% of the vote for “partial term” and “full term.” Will he be negatively associated with Biden & Co. in November? In contrast, Republican Mark Meuser is a constitutional fighter.
You will have mostly real choices in the November election
Thank you if you voted! I appreciate you visiting our Pro-Family Election Center to equip you. And thank you big-time if you helped others to vote!
As I write this, if the “top two” vote-getters don’t change, nearly all California statewide offices will be a contest in November between a liberal Democrat and Republican, ranging from mostly conservative to constitutionalist.
Below is a snapshot of this morning’s statewide primary election results and the websites of the current “top two” in each contest. Please note that Republicans with percentages in the “teens” expect their Republican rivals’ supporters to vote for them in November. So assume them as practically having, post-primary-election, somewhere between 25% and 40% of the voters’ support.
For example, in the just-concluded primary election for governor, voting for 13 Republican candidates were 35.5% of the voters. These candidates attracted 1,208,643 voters, which is .6315861256658043% of Newsom’s 1,193,663 votes (Newsom “won” 56.3% of the electorate). Do the math: Newsom’s 56.3% x 0.6315861256658043 = 35.55829887498478% or 35.5% of the electorate for Republican candidates in the governor’s race. You can therefore expect Brian Dahle to attract at least this percentage in the general election.
UPDATE: Wednesday, May 25 @ 7pm: AB 2098 has been skipped over for 4 Assembly floor sessions in a row. But AB 2098, AB 1797’s statewide vaccine database and AB 2223 functionally legalizing infanticide can all come up for Assembly floor votes on Thursday, May 26. So please leave anonymous messages TONIGHT (between 8pm and 7am) for the 28 deciding votes (scroll down to see list of who to call and what to say).
Updated Wednesday, May 25 @ 7pm: This means this horrible bill revoking the licenses of honest, caring doctors — along with AB 1797’s statewide vaccine database and AB 2223 functionally permitting infanticide — will be on the Assembly floor May 26 and 27 (Friday, May 27 is the final week to pass bills in their house of origin).
Why is SaveCalifornia.com focusing on the State Assembly, not the State Senate? The 80-member California State Assembly has two-year terms, most incumbents are running for re-election, they’re younger, closer to their communities, and less “crusty” and less “owned” by wealthy special interests — and there’s also two vacant Democrat seats.
This is why, last August, our side successfully lobbied to defeat two awful bills on the Assembly floor — one requiring jabs and one requiring passports. We need more victories this month, then again in August for the worst Senate bills — all on the Assembly floor.
With this in mind, please take renewed action!
STEP #1:
Wednesday, May 25 and Thursday, May 26, please call again to your own state assemblymember’s State Capitol office. Find yours here.
And please share this alert with your family members and friends so they can make calls too. Also, please ask doctors you know who support medical freedom to call their own assemblymember and even the deciding votes to oppose how AB 2098 would trample medical independence and threaten licenses of careful, evidence-based physicians and surgeons. Their authoritative voices will be remembered and carry weight against the Big-Pharma-owned California Medical Association, which is sponsoring AB 2098.
Use these talking points to urge your own state assemblymember to oppose AB 2098, AB 1797, and AB 2223:
AB 2098 (Low): “Support medical independence. Oppose AB 2098, which would result in the revocation of licenses of good doctors who think outside the box. AB 2098 is unfair and wrong — oppose it.”
AB 1797 (Weber): “Support an individual’s choice of medical treatment. Oppose AB 1797, which would set up a vaccine database that would discriminate against and segregate conscientious Californians who don’t want a particular injection. Do not track me or my family, whether we want a particular shot or not. Vote no on AB 1797.”
AB 2223 (Wicks) as amended May 19, 2022: “Protect the lives of babies, whether they’re an hour, day, week, or year old. Oppose AB 2223, which would make law enforcement look the other way when an infant dies and it’s claimed the death was from ’causes that occurred in utero.’ By prohibiting law enforcement investigations of ‘perinatal death’ due to a subjective and overly-broad phrase, AB 2223 would permit killings of newborns up to year after birth. Vote no on this infanticide bill.”
If you’re a modern-day patriot, this 30-minute task is for you: It is especially effective for you to call the Assembly floor votes to oppose all 3 bills. We highly recommend you only leave anonymous after-hours voicemails, during the evening, night, and weekend.
Again, use our talking points above to describe why all 3 bills are wrong. SaveCalifornia.com believes since medical “mandates” are controversial, since fear of the China virus has significantly diminished, and since this is an election year where most California assemblymembers are running, both AB 2098 and AB 1797 — and AB 2223, the infanticide bill — can be stopped if you help flood Sacramento with opposition calls.
We’ve identified 28 deciding votes on these 3 bills on the floor of the 80-seat California State Assembly, which currently has 78 members and two vacancies. If none of the 19 Republicans nor at least 19 of the 28 deciding votes do not support these inhuman bills, they’ll be defeated for lack of 41 minimum votes to pass bills by the May 27 deadline.
Important to know: Unless you see your own assemblymember on this list below, please remain anonymous, so your calls will have impact and not be “trashed” (the Democrat legislators’ modus operandi is to disregard every message not from their own constituents). By leaving anonymous voicemails only, legislators’ staff cannot reliably “trash” your calls, and you’ll “mix” in and be part of the flood of opposition calls.
28 Assembly floor targets (27 Democrats and 1 independent)

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13
