ALERT: Sign this California tough-on-crime petition

Friday, February 2, 2024, 9:35 am | Randy Thomasson

You can stop crime by helping qualify this good California initiative!

Because it would repeal the worst parts of a pro-criminal law, Proposition 47 from 2014, by restoring penalties that outlaw thievery once again.

Request to sign a petition at https://casafecommunities.com. There are petition signing centers being set up.

From the California Globe on Jan. 31, 2024:

Ten years of increased drug and serial theft crimes across California has taken its toll on the state’s residents and businesses. Because of Proposition 47, there is no accountability when it comes to these crimes, theft is underreported and some stores are even told not to report theft crimes. But help is on the way – a proposed ballot initiative to amend Prop. 47 is currently collecting signatures for the November 2024 ballot.

Proposition 47, was passed by tragically misinformed voters in 2014, and flagrantly titled “The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act” by then Attorney General Kamala Harris, which reduced a host of serious felonies to misdemeanors, including drug crimes, date rape, and all thefts under $950, even for repeat offenders who steal every day.

Prop. 47 also decriminalized drug possession from a felony to a misdemeanor, removed law enforcement’s ability to make an arrest in most circumstances, as well as removing judges’ ability to order drug rehabilitation programs rather than incarceration.

The California Increase Drug and Theft Penalties and Reduce Homelessness Initiative (#23-0017) may appear on the ballot in California as an initiated state statute on November 5, 2024.

The initiatives would increase drug crime and theft penalties and allow a new class of crime to be called treatment-mandated felony, which gives the offender the option to participate in drug and mental health treatment.

Deliver those who are drawn toward death,
And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.
The Bible, Proverbs 24:11

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.

The Bible, Proverbs 22:6

Overcome ‘trans’ lies with scientific facts

Saturday, October 28, 2023, 2:48 pm | Randy Thomasson

Are you bothered by children being sexually indoctrinated — and operated on — to believe they can “change their sex”? God, Who created male and female, is grieved by it.

Because the science is irrefutable: If you’ve inherited a Y chromosome from your biological father, you’re male; and if you haven’t, you’re female: “…females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y.” Source

The Unscientific Left’s sanitized phrase, “gender-affirming care,” is completely fact-free. And now, despite their aggressive Big Lie, there’s something you can do about it.

You’ll be glad to know a team of truth-telling doctors has launched a fact-filled website to help anyone seeking the truth about transsexuality.

The Biological Integrity website is a comprehensive, scientifically accurate resource for parents, teens, pastors, educators, healthcare professionals, and policymakers.

It provides much-needed facts about the dangers of the “transgender” ideology and offers numerous fact sheets and helpful resources, including expert counselors for children struggling with “trans” feelings. This excellent website can change minds and lives!

TAKE ACTION: You can help protect children from the destructive delusion that they can “change their sex.” See and share the Biological Integrity website today!

“The term biological integrity denotes living in consistency with one’s natural, biological self – the integrated whole of body and mind. Children and adolescents should be loved, and taught to love themselves, as wholly male or female. Children are always born in the right body.”
Jill Simons, MD, ACPeds Executive Director

“The massive push we are seeing for children to become the targets of experimental, life-altering drugs and surgeries is ideological in nature, directly opposed to biological reality, antithetical to good medical practice, and deeply disturbing to doctors who have devoted their lives to ethical, compassionate care for their most vulnerable patients – children.”
