URGENT: Tell Newsom to veto these costly bills

Saturday, September 2, 2023, 9:39 pm | Randy Thomasson
SCROLL DOWN FOR ACTION STEPS

On September 1, the Democrat leaders of the California State Legislature, by their actions, challenged Newsom to sign their most radical, unconstitutional, anti-family bills.

By passing hundreds of bad bills in the appropriations committees, your leftist Democrat “rulers” are saying they don’t care what you think, and they actually believe they can “make” Newsom sign their devilish agenda, like he has before.

But this year is different, since California’s uberliberal Democrat governor IS running for president, with a self-induced $31.5 BILLION state budget deficit hanging over his head. And if Newsom doesn’t balance it, his claim he’s a “fiscal conservative” will disintegrate.
Among the hundreds of bad Democrat bills removed from the “suspense file” and passed in the Senate and Assembly appropriations committees Friday are:

AB 659 pushing harmful Gardasil jabs upon junior highers and college students

AB 5 forcing public-school employees into “LGBTQ cultural competency training”

AB 443 discriminating against moral/religious police officers and office candidates

AB 1078 taking away local control of school boards to make curriculum decisions

AB 576 funding all Medi-Cal chemical abortions. at taxpayer expense

SB 58 promoting a raft of “hallucinogenic substances” as “recreational drugs”

SB 274 eliminating suspensions/expulsions of willfully defiant teens (grades 9-12)

SB 345 forcing new costs on cities/counties for abortion/”LGBTQIA+” agenda

SB 407 punishing religious foster parents who don’t support “LGBTQIA+”

SB 541 requiring “internal and external condoms” be available in grades 9-12

SB 596 empowering school boards to arrest “disorderly” parents at meetings

SB 729 requiring insurance to pay for artificial insemination of gays and trans

SB 760 forcing government schools, grades 1-12, to have an “all-gender restroom”

With immoral Democrats controlling three-fourths of each house of the State Legislature, which of these bills might Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom veto?

There have been signs for months that Newsom is sharpening his veto pen.

In the media, he’s repeatedly mimicked his predecessor, Jerry Brown, saying it would not be “prudent” for the state budget to “imbalanced.”

And on September 1, Newsom’s Department of Finance representative was noticeably absent from the front table of the “suspense file” meeting of the Senate Appropriations Committee, where “Finance” is regularly represented. Was this a boycott by the Newsom Administration after being told to get ready for lots of costly bills on his desk? It’s plausible.

So, this is now a “donkey fight,” where the blatantly bad Democrat legislators are challenging another evil Democrat, Governor Gavin Newsom, who, as long as his presidential hopes are alive, wants to put the brakes on additional spending.

NEW ACTION: Urge Newsom to veto these bad bills. Put on the pressure to remind him these radical bills are unpopular.

1. Call Newsom’s constituent services office, Monday-Friday, 9-5 at 916-445-2841. When a staffer answers, they are a person paid to take your simple message of bills you are supporting or opposing. List all the bills in one phone call, but keep it brief.

2. Use Newsom’s web form to oppose all these bad bills at once.

7. Enter your first and last name and email address (but not your phone number)
8. Click “Submit”

The California State Legislature will adjourn its 2023 session on September 14; the governor will have until October 14 to sign or veto bills.

It is apparent that, those who appear to wield unparalleled power – and, have a disturbing tendency of abusing this, as a means of sadistically and savagely subjugating their fellow countrymen and women, with abundant impunity – can not stand the heat when the tables are turned against them, and will swiftly head for the hills, whenever they perceive any substantial threat.

‘Suspense’ over which awful Democrat bills will die in committee

Saturday, August 26, 2023, 9:21 am | Randy Thomasson
Will some downright devilish bills die this year — because of Gavin Newsom himself?

I’m asking the question because California’s uberliberal Democrat governor IS running for president (he’s waiting for the White House Occupant to drop out).
And, while relying on Americans’ short-term political memories, Newsom doesn’t want his opponents to seize upon one or more new radically-bad bills that he’s signed.

This might explain why Newsom’s Department of Finance is openly opposing several truly awful bills in the Legislature’s fiscal committees. And as a result, the Senate’s and Assembly’s Appropriations committees have sent a raft of radical Democrat bills that cost money to the “suspense file,” where these bills might quietly die and not go to Newsom.

These bills are on “suspense” because they cost money the State does not have (remember the Newsom administration has caused a $31.5 BILLION state budget deficit by driving some of the wealthiest Californians out of state).

Among the costly bills placed on “suspense” since the Legislature’s Aug. 14 return:

AB 5 forcing public-school employees into “LGBTQ cultural competency training”

AB 443 discriminating against moral/religious police officers and officer candidates

AB 659 pushing harmful Gardasil jabs upon junior highers and college students

AB 576 funding all Medi-Cal chemical abortions (on “suspense” since July 10)

AB 1078 taking away local control of school boards to make curriculum decisions

SB 58 promoting a raft of “hallucinogenic substances” as “recreational drugs”

SB 274 eliminating suspensions/expulsions of willfully defiant teens (grades 9-12)

SB 345 making California even more pro-abortion and pro-“sex changes” than ever

SB 407 punishing moral foster parents who don’t support “LGBTQIA+”

SB 541 requiring “internal and external condoms” be available in grades 9-12

SB 596 empowering liberal school boards to arrest “disorderly” parents at meetings

SB 729 requiring insurance to pay for artificial insemination of “gays” and “trans”

SB 760 forcing government schools, grades 1-12, to have an “all-gender restroom”

Now, any of these bills could escape committee by the approaching Sept. 1 deadline if the Appropriations Committee chairs in the Senate or Assembly want to dare Newsom to sign them. We won’t know after that day.

Yet it’s clear to me that Newsom’s huge budget shortfall and the fact that he’s running for president have created a “perfect storm” for some anti-family bills with price tags to fail.

That they may successfully do evil with both hands—
The prince asks for gifts,
The judge seeks a bribe,
And the great man utters his evil desire;
So they scheme together.

Most Republicans in the California Legislature have partnered with evil

Saturday, July 29, 2023, 10:19 am | Randy Thomasson

You already know about evil Democrat Party legislators. But do you realize Republicans in the California State Legislature lied to you when they said they would fight for you? You deserve to know who they are (see
these bad bill analyses and legislators’ votes at our Pro-Family Legislation Center).

Here during the Legislature’s month-long, paid vacation (ending August 14), SaveCalifornia.com has tabulated which registered Republicans in Sacramento are voting for evil Democrat bills. Here’s a partial report:

–> 9 “Republicans” in the California State Assembly have 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

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

Marie Waldron of Escondido: AB 5, HR 33, ACA 5, SB 58, SB 541, SB 729

In addition to Democrat bills promoting baby-killing and the “LGBTQIA+” agenda:

Voting in favor of the Democrats’ radical “recreational drug” bill, SB 58, was Heath Flora of Ripon

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 Juan Alanis and Josh Hoover

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 DahleLaurie DaviesDiane DixonBill EssayliHeath FloraVince FongJames Gallagher,Josh HooverTom LackeyJim PattersonJoe PattersonKate SanchezTri TaMarie WaldronGreg Wallis

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

Scott Wilk of Santa Clarita: AB 352, AB 1194, AB 1352, ACA 5

Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh of Yucaipa: SR 33, SB 760, AB 1352

In addition to Democrat bills promoting baby-killing and the “LGBTQIA+” agenda:

Voting in favor of SB 274, largely eliminating government-school suspensions or expulsions of disruptive, defiant “students,” were Scott Wilk, Rosilicie Ochoa BoghJanet Nguyen of Huntington Beach, and 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!
