Laphonza Butler, a top strategist on the Kamala Harris for President team, in 2019
Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom has announced his appointment to replace the late Dianne Feinstein. And even worse than Feinstein, Laphonza Butler brazenly embraces Newsom’s and Kamala Harris’ immoral agenda:
She’s a leading abortion activist: Butler is currently the head of Emily’s List, a wealthy, Democrat-run pro-abortion political group (Source), which opposes all baby killing restrictions, such as banning abortions when a pre-born baby’s heartbeat is confirmed. (Source)
She’s an “out” lesbian “married” to another woman:Butler and her “wife” are both “LGBTQIA+” activists. In 2020, Butler joined Airbnb as its director of public policy and campaigns , turning it hard against property owners with moral values (Source). Demonstrating she believes all the “LGBTQIA+” lies, Butler wrote last year, “And these are yet again, the same politicians who also don’t believe in science, who are attacking trans-youth and erasing the history of our country by banning books.” (Source)
She’s a former union boss who led revolts against small business owners and coerced millions in ‘dues’: “Butler served as president of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 2015, the nation’s largest home care and nursing home workers union.” (Source) As the Freedom Foundation observed in 2018, “SEIU 2015 deducts a staggering 3 percent of the caregivers’ meager paychecks, which comes to more than $500 per year for many…When a caregiver tries to opt out of union membership, they are sent a 500-word form letter rejecting their request. The letter rambles on about the benefits of union membership and buries instructions on how to “properly” opt out during the annual 15-day escape period.” (Source)
She’s a racist: Butler was on the board of BlackPAC, which defines itself as “an independent, Black-led organization that uses the power of year-round political engagement and elections to change our economic, justice, and political systems…We’re holding our public officials accountable to a policy agenda that defends our rights, promotes dignity, and ends white supremacy.” (Source)
And she doesn’t even live California: “But according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission from September 2023, Butler doesn’t live in California, nor anywhere close to the state. Instead, it appears she lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, a Washington, DC suburb. Using the address listed in the FEC filing, it’s possible to find Butler’s voter registration in Maryland, which is as recent as September 2022 and classifies the Silver Spring address as her “residential” location.” (Source)
Ditch the smiles — Laphonza Butler will further “butcher” our children and our Constitution.
“And the attacks on our rights, the rights to make decisions about our body, the attacks on our voting rights — that is happening with governors and state legislators. And so EMILY’s List specifically is going to be focused on engaging and investing the resources to win at the state and local level so that these are cases that don’t wind their way to the courts.” Liberal activist extraordinaire Laphonza Butler in 2021

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.
On this page, here are the steps: 1. Under “What is your request or comment about?”, scroll to and select “Legislation Issues/Concerns” 2. Under “What is the purpose of your message?”, select “Leave a Comment” 3. Click “Next” to go to the next page 4. Under “If applicable, what is your stance on this topic?, click “Con” 5. In the message field, simply write in all caps: VETO THESE COSTLY BILLS, then copy and paste in SaveCalifornia.com one-sentence bill descriptions (from the above list) 6. Click “Next” to go to the next page 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.

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. The Bible (Micah 7:3)
