Have you considered why California has such bad government? There are powerful forces supporting the New Communist Democrats, who are now three-fourths of both houses of the State Legislature, and who control all the statewide constitutional offices.
Yet the evil forces leading here aren’t the “useful idiots” (foolish voters dumbed down by the “public” schools, illegal aliens, self-centered government employees, etc.).
No, the wealthy, influential entities sustaining the iron-fisted rule of New Communist Democrats in California are both government unions and private unions. Don’t believe it? See how unions fund the Democrat Party Machine:
SEIU, California’s largest private- and public-sector union, nearly exclusively supports Democrat Party candidates and liberal causes. SEIU has also been the top union contributing to federal campaigns, donating $232,694,670 between 1990 and 2016, 99 percent of which went to Democrats.
As reported in late 2023: “Democrats and their causes receive 95.7% of the cash from unions’ political action committees. In 2021-22 the Big Four gave more than $29 million to the SEIU’s United We Can super PAC and the NEA Advocacy Fund super PAC which support federal candidates for office. Another $16 million went to wealthy climate crusader Tom Steyer’s leftwing For Our Future Pac. Some $3 million went to Fair Share Massachusetts which supports a state wealth tax.
“Big money also flows at the state level, where public unions all but run many state capitals. In 2021-2022, the four largest government unions spent $27.9 million in Illinois, $24.9 million in California, $13.2 million in Minnesota and $12.1 million in Pennsylvania.
“Nearly 60% of unions’ annual political spending, or some $400 million, came from membership dues and about 40% came from unions’ political action committees for which workers make voluntary contributions for politics. While unions can’t send dues money directly to candidates, workers might be surprised to see their paycheck deductions funneled to outside groups that spend money on politics (including those that deploy the money out of state).”
As reported in 2021 after Gavin Newsom “won” his recall election, “Organized labor donated at least $25.7 million — or more than one-third of the total the governor raised to keep his job. Unions, of course, have deep ties to the Democratic Party and a stake in nearly every aspect of state government.”
Because of how unions and their “owned politicians” put deceptive tax hikes on the ballot, and since union bosses regularly spend union dues to elect and re-elect corrupt Democrat Party politicians, if you’re a union member, please resign from your union.
Remember, you have strong, fundamental free-speech rights to not be coerced into supporting objectionable union politics. Now that you’ve unpeeled the onion and found the rotten core, will you stop “feeding” the beast?
See how to resign from the union and still keep your job and benefits:
The biblical view of man is work-oriented. It affirms that man was placed on the earth to subdue it to the glory of God (Gen. 1:28; 9:1-7). It is not each man’s right to work. It is his duty to work. What is his lawful right is his right to compete for the job he wants, his right to compete for the labor services he wishes to purchase. No one has a right to my job, including me. Anyone should have the right to compete for my job, including me. And I have the right to compete for his. “A Christian view of labor unions,” Gary North, July 1, 1978

For the second time in three years, eliminating the parental option of kindergarten has failed in the Democrat-controlled California State Legislature.
But it wasn’t for lack of the Left trying. This year, two mandatory kindergarten bills, which were nearly the same, and both likely costing up to $1 BILLION annually, were only stopped in the State Senate Appropriations Committee at the behest of Democrat Party Governor Gavin Newsom, who’s trying to posture himself nationally as a “fiscal conservative.”
AB 2226 died August 15 in committee and SB 1056 on May 16 in the same committee.
After the second mandatory kindergarten bill was shelved this month, the committee chairwoman, Democrat Party State Senator Anna Caballero of Merced, Madera, and Fresno counties, a Newsom loyalist, told the L.A. Times, “The lens we were looking through was the cost. Anything that we pass and the governor signs means it’s probably something that has to come out of the budget next year.”
So because Newsom & the Democrats’ war against responsible citizens has pushed enough wealthy Californians to other states, thus dramatically lowering revenues, and because now Gavin Newsom has shifted gears to plan to run for U.S. president — on the condition that Donald Trump is elected for a final four-year term this year — in 2028, two years after he’s termed out of the governor’s office in Sacramento.
Yet beyond the political and legislative machinations of mandatory kindergarten, you need to know the Leftist organizations think your children and grandchildren are THEIRS — and are little dollar signs too.
Stop and realize the Left already has most California five-year-olds under their control,who are enrolled in kindergarten. And they have great wrath against good parents who say their 5-year-olds aren’t ready to be with 20-30 other children several hours a day.
As the California Globe reported August 20, “95% of children in California already attend Kindergarten before entering first grade … Groups such as the Los Angeles Unified School District, the California Teachers Association, and education leaders in the state continued to say this week that the state was only harming more children by not passing this bill.”
In this clash of good and evil, SaveCalifornia.com is urging in-the-know parents and grandparents to rescue their children and grandchildren by exiting the low academics, politically correct, anti-family government-controlled schools.
Children grow up so fast — and the government system wants to train them to be Leftist soldiers. Please intervene now. SaveCalifornia.com’s special site, RescueYourChild.com, will equip you.

A woman claiming she was sexual abused by a Catholic priest points to his photo among other accused abusers at Dec. 6, 2018 news conference in Orange County

Yes, Kamala Harris sided with alleged sex abusers.
In 2004, when Harris became San Francisco’s district attorney, she inherited a collection of personnel files involving allegations of child sexual abuse by priests and employees of the San Francisco Archdiocese. And despite the cries of purported victims, Harris refused to share these files with those wanting to file civil lawsuits.
In her seven years as district attorney, Harris’s office did not proactively assist in civil cases against clergy sex abuse and ignored requests by activists and survivors to access the cache of investigative files that could have helped them secure justice, according to several victims of clergy sex abuse living in California who spoke to The Intercept.
“It went from Terence Hallinan going hundred miles an hour, full speed ahead, after the Catholic Church to Kamala Harris doing absolutely nothing and taking it backwards hundred miles an hour,” said Joey Piscitelli, a assault survivor, who a jury found had been molested as a student while attending Salesian College Preparatory, a Catholic high school in Richmond, California.
Here’s another article, from 2020, blowing the whistle on Kamala Harris ignoring victims of Catholic Church sexual abuse:
Years ago, a man named Joey Piscitelli wrote to Kamala Harris, who was then San Francisco’s District Attorney, about the plight of the catholic clergy sex abuse survivors. However, it fell on deaf ears.
According to Piscitelli, Kamala Harris never responded to him when he wrote to her about the abuse he had suffered at the hands of a local Catholic priest. Five years later, he wrote to her again urging her to release records on clergymen accused of sexual abuse to not only get justice for himself but also to help other survivors who were filing lawsuits, but Harris never responded.
“She did nothing”, said Piscitelli, who is now the Northern California spokesperson for the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP).
These facts should inform any Californian or American who is considering the character of Kamala Harris.
