So that your GOP representative can’t deceive you, SaveCalifornia.com presents our RINO (Republican In Name Only) report, spotlighting registered Republican state legislators who in 2023 have supported evil Democrat-authored bills.

Our last RINO report was this summer during the California State Legislature’s month-long, paid vacation. This latest update includes the final floor votes from early September.

You’ve got to ask yourself — with “Republicans” like this, do they deserve your support?

9 “Republicans” in the California State Assembly voted for Democrat bills promoting abortion (baby-killing) or the “LGBTQIA+” agenda or both:

• Greg Wallis of Bermuda Dunes: AB 659, AB 5, AB 223, AB 352, AB 443, AB 492, AB 576, AB 598, AB 957, AB 1078, AB 1194, AB 1432, HR 33, ACA 5, SB 345, SB 385, SB 760

• Juan Alanis of Modesto: AB 5, AB 352, AB 443, AB 492, AB 598, AB 1194, AB 1432, HR 33, ACA 5, SB 541, SB 760

• Josh Hoover of Folsom: AB 5, ACA 5

 Phillip Chen of Yorba Linda: ACA 5, AB 443

• Devon Mathis of Porterville: ACA 5

• Voting in favor of SB 596 giving chairpersons of liberal school boards the power to subjectively claim pro-family citizens speaking at public meetings have caused “substantial disorder,” so that you’ll be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor crime, were Diane DixonJosh Hoover, and Greg Wallis

• Voting in favor of AB 1352 to permit liberal school board majorities to remove a pro-family school board member from office were Juan AlanisPhillip ChenMegan Dahle, Laurie DaviesDiane DixonBill EssayliHeath FloraVince FongJames GallagherJosh HooverTom LackeyJim PattersonJoe PattersonKate SanchezTri TaMarie WaldronGreg Wallis

2 “Republicans” in the California State Senate voted for Democrat bills promoting baby-killing or “LGBTQIA+” or both:

• Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh of Yucaipa: SR 33, SB 760, AB 1194

In addition:

• Both Wilk and Ochoa Bogh supported AB 1352 to permit liberal school boards to boot off conservative members

• The sole Republican voting in favor of the Democrats’ SB 274, largely eliminating government-school suspensions or expulsions of disruptive, defiant “students,” was Brian Dahle of Bieber

Conclusion: Of the 8 Republicans in the 40-member California State Senate and the 18 Republicans in the 80-member California State Assembly, unlike constitutional and often Christian Republican fighters of past decades, none today can be counted on to use their most valuable asset — their voice — to consistently stand and speak to expose the harm of immoral. ungodly Democrat-authored bills. It’s a shame, because when you’re in the minority party in the Legislature, your voice matters much more than your votes.

Obviously, with so many Republican legislators supporting anti-family or otherwise harmful bills, and with none of the current crop of California Republican state legislators caring enough to regularly stand and expose immoral Democrat bills, there’s a crying need for concerned citizens and biblical pastors to recruit constitutional fighters, who know their main job in Sacramento isn’t money, popularity, or comfort, but steadfastly, lovingly, and truthfully speaking in committee and on the floor to expose the harm of Democrat Party bills. Stop accepting deceptive crumbs from mute Republicans or from Republicans who vote for harmful Democrat bills!

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.

The DeSantis-Newsom debate: A clear winner

At Nov. 30 debate between a moral Republican governor and an evil Democrat governor, California’s uber-liberal Democrat Gavin Newsom was exposed more than any of California’s Big Media ever tried to.

Fox News’ Sean Hannity did an admirable job showing factual slides that Newsom tried to wiggle out of, but each time he was “caught” by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and sometimes by Hannity too.

Some of Newsom’s biggest whoppers were:

Claiming “LGBT” indoctrination wasn’t required in California K-12 “public” schools: Yet there are 13 perversity-promoting laws for every government school, including charter schools. SaveCalifornia.com’s special site, RescueYourChild.com, lists 12 here and Newsom this summer signed AB 1078 teaching kids to admire “LGBTQ+ Americans.”

Refusing to say whether he supports any restrictions on abortion (baby-killing): Despite Newsom dancing all over the place and refusing to answer Sean Hannity’s direct questions, the horrible fact remains: Gavin Newsom and California’s Democrat Party legislators have passed many laws with zero abortion restrictions. This year, Newsom signed a raft of murderous bills expanding abortion throughout California law, trampling parental rights, and even offering taxpayer-funded abortions to residents of other states.

Blaming high gas prices on oil companies, when Democrat politicians are to blame: But the fact is California has the highest gas prices in the U.S. because it has the highest gas taxes (the consequences of Democrat rulers), higher gasoline regulations (it costs more to produce California-only blends), lower supply from within (the State greatly limits oil drilling), lower supply from without (the State isn’t permitting new pipelines from other states), and higher real estate prices (more depressing of the supply due to Democrats’ laws) and more expensive employees (job-killing socialism of the Democrat politicians).
SaveCalifornia.com covered the debate with live tweets on our Twitter/X page:

“And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

Momentum for real school choice in California

Saturday, November 25, 2023, 3:05 pm | Randy Thomasson

When Democrat politicians Gavin Newsom, his attorney general Rob Bonta, and state schools chief Tony Thurmond attacked parents’ God-given rights this summer, more parents understood the only way to rescue their kids is by exiting the government schools.

So expect more California families to homeschool! Because each year, an increasing number of parents are realizing Democrat-run schools are bad. Look at these stats:

On Oct. 31, the Washington Post reported California homeschooling increased a whopping 78% between the 2017 and 2022 school years. What momentum to rescue defenseless boys and girls!

And California’s most recent stats (updated Nov. 8) demonstrate public support for real school choice is growing:

  • 70% of adults and 75% of parents of school-aged children support the idea of education savings accounts (a synonym for vouchers).
  • 59% of parents of school-aged children want 1 or more days a week of home-based education for their kids.
  • 48% of parents of school-aged children would choose homeschooling or private school if they could afford it.
  • 35% of adults say the main purpose of education is to instill “values, moral character, religious virtues”

And a thrilling trend nationally — 2023 has been the year of universal (full) school choice. Rejoice that this year, EIGHT states have either created a new universal choice program or expanded an existing program to include all students.

As reported in late September by Ed Choice:

North Carolina joins Iowa, Utah, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Ohio in creating new universal choice programs this year or expanding existing choice programs to include all or nearly all students. They join Arizona and West Virginia, where universal programs previously existed. Today, some 36% of students nationwide are eligible for a private choice program, a 60% increase from just two years ago.

This national momentum for real school choice (receiving back money for private school or homeschooling) will create a better national character and will eventually bring private school choice to California.

Despite the lying Establishment defeating universal school choice on the California ballot in 1994 and 2000, parental discontent with government-controlled “education” has kept growing. And it might be near the “tipping point.” Because over time, California parents and grandparents are going to want what children in other states enjoy — the financial means to exit bad schools!

TAKE ACTION:

1. Rescue your own children and grandchildren with the help of our special site, RescueYourChild.com.

2. Tell others how parents need to be able to spend their own tax money on the school of their choice.

Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
