The battle continues for smart Californians

Monday, October 1, 2012, 6:15 pm | Randy Thomasson

Of all the bad anti-family bills passed by the Democrat politicians and signed in the last week by Democrat Governor Jerry Brown, there are three of these bad laws that smart Californians still can and need to resist.

AB 2109: Although Jerry Brown signed this bill to require parents of government schools, private schools, and home schools to receive a) a lecture about the supposed risks of not receiving injections of risky vaccines, and b) a signature verifying the parent heard the lecture – parents still won’t have to obey this new law. Why?

It’s because Jerry Brown still runs his administration, and in his AB 2109 signing message, he instructed that the new state parent immunization form have a “religious beliefs” exemption check box, similar to the current state form with the “personal beliefs” exemption section.

There is a large, growing group of good parents who oppose vaccinating their young children due to the health risks of vaccinations, including destruction of the natural immunity process, acceleration of auto-immune disease processes, and possible triggering of autism in infants.

What’s more, an increasing number of informed parents are concerned about toxic additives used in vaccines, the serious risks and side effects associated with receiving them, and how the long-term health of children may be permanently affected by the “professional” vaccine schedule. Read about these risks at Natural News here and here and here.

SB 1172: This tyrannical bill bans parents from seeking counseling for their child who thinks he or she is “homosexual.” It also threatens to discipline licensed counselors who care enough to help gender-confused children, who have often been molested or raped.

This new law is a terrible robbing of freedom in America. It goes against molested children, their concerned parents, and good-hearted counselors. Under SB 1172, a teenager who wants to overcome gender confusion cannot receive this counseling, even if his parent wants it and pays for it.

How to fight SB 1172:

1. Civil disobedience: There are God-given parental rights that are above man’s immoral laws. Civil disobedience, for the right cause, in the right way, is biblical. SaveCalifornia.com is calling upon courageous counselors and knowledgeable pastors to defy this tyrannical edict and give hurting children the soul recovery they desperately need.

2. Constitutional lawsuit: There are two federal lawsuits underway. One is from Pacific Justice Institute and the other is from Liberty Counsel. As Liberty Counsel puts it, SB 1172 violates mental health therapists’ “ethical obligation to help clients deal with conflict” (First Amendment religious freedom). Another argument is the violation of basic parental rights, a foundational right (God-given natural right) which the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld several times. See Liberty Counsel’s news release

AB 1856: Authored by homosexual activist and San Francisco Democrat Tom Ammiano, and passed by the Democrat-controlled Legislature, AB 1856 requires foster parents to be trained to positively support homosexuality, bisexuality, cross-dressing/”sex changes” among the abused children in their care. The training is called “cultural competency and sensitivity” in support of these unnatural and unhealthy sexual behaviors.

This burdensome, perverse training, which will be incorporated into existing training sessions for foster parents, threatens to tramples religious freedom, destroys moral sensitivities, and erases the differences between male and female in foster homes. But there’s a way to try to get around it.

If you’re a foster parent and have Christian values or have other moral values on sexuality, then you can go to these training sessions, in which the “LGBT” agenda will be taught, and just sit there and take notes without talking. Then go home and teach moral values to needy kids in your home. Refuse to have your mind and practices changed, even if they try to brainwash you.

But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.”

No “need” for new taxes in California

Monday, January 9, 2012, 4:38 pm |

Liberal newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle are serving as mouthpieces for Governor Jerry Brown, the Democrat politicians, and the government union bosses. Together, they’re claiming only “two choices” in solving California’s state budget mess (created by Democrat state legislators, who have controlled the State Legislature for more than 40 years now).

Writes the Chronicle, “Gov. Jerry Brown’s budget plan released last week poses a stark choice for Californians: approve a five-year $35 billion tax increase in November or watch the hatchet drop on public school funding – with cuts so deep the school year could be shortened by almost a month.”

But no, there aren’t just two choices. The third way to solve the chronic state budget mess is to eliminate TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ANNUAL WASTE, as outlined in SaveCalifornia.com’s Waste Report.

Remember, most of the time, a “temporary tax” isn’t temporary. People get used to it, the bureaucracy says they will always need it, and liberal politicians say they will hurt you with service cuts unless you extend the tax.

And a higher tax bite upon the wealthy means they, as the most mobile of all Americans, can easily move just across the border to Nevada or Arizona, leaving the State of California with less revenue than before.

Finally, “taxing the rich” means punishing job creators. This is exactly opposite of what our Founding Fathers wanted, and means socialism further tramples free enterprise and government dependency replaces the work ethic.

So you see, there is no “need” to raise taxes in California
, which would do more harm to family finances, job creation and sustaining, and the economy as a whole.

ACTION: Please plan to vote NO on Jerry Brown’s tax hikes, should he gather enough signatures to qualify his initiative for the November ballot. But right now, use our 2-page printable report to inform your friends and neighbors that TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ANNUAL WASTE should be eliminated instead.

When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples,
“Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”

Is this hope? Jerry Brown threatens “many” vetoes

Wednesday, September 14, 2011, 3:51 pm |

He sounds serious. California’s Democrat Governor Jerry Brown says he’ll veto “many” of the 600 or so bills on his desk. Get ready for the “veto blues,” he said.

From the San Francisco Chronicle: Gov. Jerry Brown today fired a warning shot to state lawmakers, essentially telling them the legislation they have worked on for months is not likely to become law.

“I’m going to veto a lot of bills over the next 30 days,” Brown told reporters after an event to reward schools with high physical fitness achievements.

“So I have to say to some, fasten your seat belt cause this is going to be a rough ride. They’ve given me 600 bills and there’s not 600 problems that we need those solutions for,” he said.

I don’t know Brown’s motivation. But I’m guessing he may want to set a first-year standard that he’s in charge, or perhaps that he wants the Legislature to abandon special interest bills. It’s anyone’s guess.

But this I do know – now is the time to increase pro-family citizens’ opposition to the worst bills on his desk in the hope that Brown tags them as “veto bait.” Brown’s veto threats carry more weight that even Arnold Schwarzenegger’s blanket veto threats, which never materialized.

ACT RIGHT NOW

Urge Brown to veto these 5 bad bills that steal away parental rights, marriage rights, business owner rights, and voter rights.

And read today’s Christian Post story about SaveCalifornia.com sounding the alarm.

“When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you,
then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered
before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.”
