SB 54 ignores California Constitution, undermines Prop. 8

Monday, August 24, 2009, 7:20 pm |

As I write this, both SB 572, “Harvey Milk Gay Day,” and SB 52, undermining Prop. 8, are on the floor of the California State Assembly, which adjourned Monday without hearing them, but could vote on both of these terrible bills as soon as Thursday.

What’s going on with the new attack on man-woman marriage? We all remember Prop. 8, which created Article 1, Section 7.5 in the California Constitution, reading, “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

And we all know that the written Constitution is the highest law of the land, higher than the California Supreme Court, higher than the Governor, and higher than the State Legislature.

The problem is, since the California Supreme Court already undermined Prop. 8 by validating some 18,000 homosexual “marriages,” the Democrat-controlled California Legislature is now trying to neutralize Prop. 8 even further.

SB 54, authored by homosexual activist and Democrat state senator Mark Leno, would violate the clear reading of the Constitution by recognizing pre-Prop. 8 homosexual “marriages” from other states and nations — Massachusetts, Belgium, Canada, Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain and Sweden — as fully-valid “marriages” in California.

You and your friends must resist this corrupt violation of the California Constitution!

TAKE ACTION NOW TO OPPOSE SB 54

Update/alert: Citizens resist Safeway and SB 572

Thursday, June 25, 2009, 3:31 pm |

Here’s an encouraging update and new alert. In early June, SaveCalifornia.com warned you about Safeway promoting homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality to customers and their children.

The prominent signs people saw when they walked in the grocery stores proclaimed “Gay/Lesbian Pride Month” with a large picture of homosexual activist Harvey Milk of San Francisco.

Thank you to everyone who took action. Here’s what Ken wrote us the very next day:

I got the Safeway in [my local city] to pull their Harvey Milk signs, at least when I was there.  I explained in a logical manner my thoughts and found a sympathetic ear.  The Safeway worker was actually glad to take the signs down, but said that he needed a complaint from a customer to do so.  I don’t know if his reason was official but that is the justification he gave me for pulling the sign down.  If I see the signs again I am going say something again.  I am also thinking picketing in front of the Safeway store if they won’t take their signs down.  Or I just will shop elsewhere.

DO WHAT KEN DID AND CALL SAFEWAY TOO

ALERT: Call Safeway’s corporate office in Pleasanton, California at 877-723-3929 to tell them you are shopping elsewhere because of Safeway’s public promotion of homosexuality to children and families.

SUPPORT SAVECALIFORNIA.COM IN THE BATTLE AGAINST ‘HARVEY MILK GAY DAY’

On June 17, a Phoenix TV station interviewed SaveCalifornia.com President Randy Thomasson about Safeway, pitting him against a local homosexual activist.

VIEW: Watch this 104-second clip to witness the sarcastic intolerance of the homosexual agenda forcing itself upon everyone else.

Here in California, with the help of our financial supporters, SaveCalifornia.com is fighting hard against SB 572, “Harvey Milk Gay Day.” SB 572 is on the Assembly floor and could be voted on next week. See our May media clips and act now to help.

Unfortunately, when SB 572 passed a Democrat-controlled committee last week, only KGO-TV in San Francisco and some conservative radio reported the bad news.

In this virtual media blackout, there’s obviously much more we must do to defeat “Harvey Milk Gay Day.” This is why SaveCalifornia.com has new action steps for you below.

If signed, SB 572 would pressure every California public school to have an official “Harvey Milk Day” promoting the homosexual, bisexual, and transsexual agenda to children as young as kindergarten. The sky is the limit on what a school considers “suitable commemorative exercises.” This is written so broadly, SB 572 could allow gay-pride parades on campus, cross-dressing, and homosexual “marriage” dramas, etc.

It’s all going to come down to how much pressure California’s governor feels. Remember, last year the Democrat-controlled Legislature passed “Harvey Milk Gay Day,” but Schwarzenegger vetoed it.

This year, Schwarzenegger is being lobbied more heavily by homosexual activists. Sean Penn, who played Harvey Milk on the big screen, and Milk’s homosexual activist nephew, have both personally lobbied Schwarzenegger to ask him to sign SB 572. Other differences from last year is that there are four more Democrats in the Assembly voting for “Harvey Milk Gay Day.” And for the first time, a Republican, Senator Abel Maldonado, is supporting this horrible, anti-family bill.

GET BUSY: CALL, EMAIL, FAX/WRITE SACRAMENTO

1. CALL Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger at 916-445-2841. Listen to the recorded message and push the buttons to get to a live constituent services representative. Kindly but firmly say, “I’m calling to urge the Governor to veto SB 572, ‘Harvey Milk Gay Day,’ like he did last year. Parents don’t want this, children don’t need this. Schools should teach children academics, not the ‘lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender’ values of Harvey Milk or anyone else.”

Schwarzenegger’s phone lines are open weekday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can also call his offices 24/7 in San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles, Fresno and San Francisco.

2. EMAIL SaveCalifornia.com’s prewritten email message to Schwarzenegger and your two California state legislators.

3. FAX OR WRITE Governor Schwarzenegger. Use personal letterhead if you have it, or even better — business/organization/church letterhead — when you FAX the Governor at 916-558-3160 or write him at:

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814

4. CALL your own California Republican state assemblymember and other Republican assemblymembers to urge them to “Speak against ‘Harvey Milk Gay Day’ on the floor. Your vote won’t stop SB 572, so please use your voice against this terrible, anti-family bill.” List of Republican assemblymembers.

Who will be the next governor of California?

Tuesday, June 23, 2009, 8:07 pm |

SaveCalifornia.com does not support or oppose candidates for public office, and provides the following information solely for educational purposes.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the former head of the ACLU of Southern California, former Speaker of the California Assembly, and former husband before his wife divorced him over his chronic adultery, says he won’t run for Governor of California in 2010.

This leaves two top contenders for the Democratic nomination: California Attorney General and former governor Jerry Brown vs. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.

On the subject of respecting marriage for a man and a woman, Newsom was reelected mayor in 2007 despite his affair with a married woman. More than any mayor in the state or nation, Newsom has led the charge for homosexual “marriages” in the courts, the law and the culture.

What about the other candidates? Jerry Brown also supports homosexual “marriages,” trying to strike down Prop. 8 at the California Supreme Court, and now calling for Prop. 8 to be struck down in federal court.

On the Republican side, major contenders Steve Poizner and Meg Whitman both say they voted yes on Prop. 8. Poizner also says he’s “fine with domestic partnerships and all.”  Whitman says she supports the court validating 18,000 homosexual “marriages,” and also supports homosexual adoptions and homosexual “civil unions” with all the rights of married spouses

Second-rung Republican contenders include former congressman and state senator Tom Campbell, who has been a prominate voice in favor of homosexual “marriages” and against Prop. 8. Another possible Republican candidate is Ventura County supervisor Peter Foy, who supports marriage licenses and marriage rights for only a man and a woman.

Given that 52.3% of California voters said marriage should only be between “a man and a woman” last November, will they remain consistent on this point when voting for their next governor?

But Israel has rejected what is good;
       an enemy will pursue him. 
They set up kings without my consent;
       they choose princes without my approval.
       With their silver and gold
       they make idols for themselves
       to their own destruction.
Hosea 8:3-4 NIV
