Were there any moral victories in California?

Yes, there are victories to celebrate!

Of the eight bad propositions, there were four defeated: The foolish and harmful Prop. 5, Prop. 6, Prop. 32, and Prop. 33. These were stopped because majority of voters understood them (and weren’t led astray by establishment lies, as they were with Prop. 3 marriage anarchy).

The defeated bad propositions on the California ballot:

Prop. 5 would have permitted higher property taxes (attacking Prop. 13 from 1978) by lowering the “vote threshold from 66.67% to 55% for local special taxes and bond measures to fund housing projects and public infrastructure.” Targeted all property owners.More about Prop. 5

Prop. 6 would have called it “slavery” to make prisoners do work they don’t wish to do. This soft-on-crime proposition would have prohibited the Department of Corrections from disciplining (removing privileges from) convicts who refuse their work assignments. More about Prop. 6

Prop. 32 would have increased the “minimum wage” to $18/hr. for all California employees (killing even more jobs and businesses). More about Prop. 32

Prop. 33 would have permitted cities and counties to impose deceptive “rent control,” resulting in fewer rentals and higher rents, as frustrated landlords sell their rental houses and duplexes to become non-rental primary residences, and as developers lack investors to build new rentals. More about Prop. 33

And of course, Prop. 36’s decisive passage to empower county district attorneys to make retail theft a crime again was a great victory over Newsom & the Democrat-Party-run Legislature’s pro-criminal agenda.

What’s more, in Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, pro-criminal district attorneys were fired. George-Soros-funded, pro-criminal district attorneys George Gascón of Los Angeles County and Pamela Price of Alameda County were booted from office.

Pro-family pick-ups: In the California State Legislature, there STILL might be two moral, pro-family Republican pick-ups in the Assembly and one Republican pick-up in the State Senate:

Jeff Gonzalez is the Republican candidate for State Assembly District 36 in San Bernardino and Imperial counties. Gonzalez is a Bible-based Christian pastor, who’s likely to speak and fight for your moral-social-fiscal-conservative-constitutional values.

Leticia Castillo is a professing, Bible-believing Christian Republican candidate for State Assembly District 58 in western Riverside County, plus Grand Terrace in San Bernardino County. If elected, she is also likely to speak up for moral and family values.

Steven Choi, the Republican candidate for State Senate District 37 in Orange County (while in the State Assembly, Choi voted conservative most of the time, but was not known as much of a speaker or fighter).

Bad laws passed by the Democrat-Party-controlled California Legislature and signed by Democrat-Party governors mean the longest “counting” of ballots nationwide. It’s terrible that California’s counties don’t have to report their final counts until Dec. 6 and the California Secretary of State won’t certify the election until Dec. 13.

Let this long “counting” be a reminder to us all: If you want election integrity and investigations to expose it, always vote against Democrats and RINOs, who obstruct the “one person, one vote” American foundation of representative government.

What’s more, the next Attorney General of the United States needs to conduct a tough audit of the vote-counting practices of California and other Democrat-Party-controlled states.

Because the days of blanket trust are gone, and the burden is on vote counters to provide evidence of accuracy.

You have to ask why the Democrat Party politicians and their slavish bureaucrats (big-county registrars of voters) are so opposed to voter ID with photo, so giddy about littering the state with vote-by-mail ballots, so addicted to computer-based voting, and permitting a WHOLE MONTH of “counting,” “processing,” “curing,” and more?

How bad is Prop. 3, and how can you help others oppose it?

Sunday, October 6, 2024, 3:23 pm | Randy Thomasson

Do you realize the POWER of a state constitutional amendment?

If Prop. 3 passes, lawsuits can claim its eight very broad, subjective words — “The right to marry is a fundamental right” — award the constitutional right to marry whomever and whatever.

Such a lawsuit or lawsuits would result in all the marriage standards, definitions, and limits in the Family Code, the Penal Code, and other statutes being ruled “unconstitutional.”

Because when lower laws (state statutes or local government ordinances) conflict with the words in a state constitution, the constitution supersedes and eliminates all rivals.

Therefore, if you care about children and don’t want boys and girls to be groomed for underage marriages by predator adults, you’ll want to vote NO on Prop. 3.

Because, under this deceptive state constitutional amendment placed on the ballot by the anti-family California Legislature, all it takes is a state court lawsuit to eliminate parental consent for child marriages. Under Prop. 3, children will be confused, used, and abused.

Please grasp these legal facts:

  1. Same-sex marriages are completely legal in California; therefore, Prop. 3 is unnecessary even for supporters of same-sex marriage.
  2. What would Prop. 3 do? It would insert eight extremely broad and subjective words, “The right to marry is a fundamental right,” into the California Constitution.
  3. Remember, a state constitutional amendment supersedes any statute (regular law) in conflict with it.
  4. Therefore, if this proposed state constitutional amendment is approved by voters, lawsuits can be filed, claiming a constitutional “right to marry” whomever and whatever, thus superseding and rendering “unconstitutional” all the marriage standards, definitions, and limits in the Family Code, the Penal Code, and other statutes.
  5. As a legal outcome, Prop. 3 would usher in unrestricted child marriages, incestuous marriages, polygamy (multiple spouses), bigamy (multiple marriages at the same time), and even “marriages” with animals and things (Prop. 3 does not require human spouses) – the sky’s the limit.

Please share this with others, including those who support same-sex marriages. Invite them to see the facts for themselves at LearnAboutProp3.com. Let the majority of Californians UNITE AGAINST marriage anarchy, which hurts kids.

You know Prop. 3 is awful, but don’t know how to stop it? Here’s how:

  • Tell 3 friends Prop. 3 would usher in unrestricted child marriages, incestuous marriages, polygamy (multiple spouses), bigamy (multiple marriages at the same time), even “marriage” with animals and things (it doesn’t require human spouses).
  • And you don’t have to convince or argue. Just email 3 friends the above list and simply recommend they visit LearnAboutProp3.com for documentation.
  • Please take a couple minutes today to do this easy task. And if you know a pastor, email him too. You can help open the eyes of millions of California voters!

“Early voting” can begin as soon as Monday, October 7 for those who’ve already received their ballots. So please act now — tell 3 friends you oppose Prop. 3’s marriage anarchy!

If Prop. 3 passes, and “The right to marry is a fundamental right” is inserted into the State Constitution, all it would take is a California court striking down as “unconstitutional” any existing statutory marriage definition, standard, or limit in the Family Code, Penal Code, and other Codes. The result would be permitting “marriages” with whomever and whatever.

Shockingly bad bills passed by Democrat Party & RINO politicians

Friday, August 30, 2024, 6:02 pm | Randy Thomasson

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 UPDATE: See the final outcome of these immoral, anti-family bills at the SaveCalifornia.com Legislation Center.

Our previous post from August 30, 2024:

As the August 31 deadline of the California Legislature’s annual session looms, see and share the awful bills the ruling Democrat Party legislators have authored and are passing with the help of RINOs (Republicans in Name Only):

  • HR 101 by 6 homosexual activist Democrat Party assemblymembers has language championing the unnatural, anti-family, tyrannical “LGBTQ+” agenda and vilifying anyone who opposes it. This annual pro-perversity Assembly resolution was approved on a voice vote on June 3. Coauthors were 53 Democrats and Republicans Phillip Chen, Diane Dixon, Greg Wallis. On May 28, the Assembly Rules Committee advanced HR 101 (5 Democrats + Republican Heath Flora voted yes).
  • AB 1825 pressuring public libraries in conservative communities to stock material reflecting “inclusive and diverse perspectives,” promoting pornography, homosexuality/bisexuality/transsexuality, abortion, witchcraft, stealing, communism, and racism. Voting yes were the supermajority Democrats and 4 Assembly Republicans: Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis.
  • Two bills pushing more baby-killing — by imposing even harsher penalties upon peaceful pro-lifers who are offering factual information and adoption services to pregnant women who are being roped in by Planned Parenthood abortionists (AB 2099) and by pressuring communities to open up more abortion clinics (AB 2085). Along with the supermajority Democrats, already voting yes on AB 2099 were Republicans Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Heath Flora, Josh Hoover, Devon Mathis, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis; joining the Democrats in approving AB 2085 were Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Greg Wallis.
  • AB 2319 replacing “mother” with “all birthing people, including nonbinary persons and persons of transgender experience,” and forcing “all health care providers involved in the perinatal care of patients” at hospitals, primary care clinics, alternative birthing centers, outpatient clinics, and emergency departments, under threat of penalty, into brainwashing training — teaching employees and contractors to believe and speak the unscientific fallacies that biological females can be biological males, and vice versa. Along with the supermajority Democrats, voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis, Scott Wilk.
  • AB 2442 by homosexual activist Democrat Party State Assemblymember Rick Zbur of Hollywood would accelerate the harmful “sex change” industry in California by expediting so-called “gender-affirming health care and gender-affirming mental health care” license applications, similar to the current expediting of abortionists’ licenses. Along with the supermajority Democrats, voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis, Scott Wilk.
  • AB 2711 by Democrat James Ramos, would eliminate smoking, alcohol drinking, and using drugs as automatic grounds for suspension at all California government-controlled schools. AB 2711 as amended July 3 would prohibit suspending children from California public school for “their use of a controlled substance, alcohol, intoxicants of any kind, or a tobacco product.” Instead of suspension, this bill would require K-12 government-controlled schools to offer a counseling program to students who “voluntarily” disclose their drug/alcohol use or who possessing drug/alcohol. This is a significant weakening of current penalties for bad behavior. AB 2711 sends the message to other students that getting stoned or drunk isn’t that bad, since the consequences will be mild, not severe. Joining the Democrats by voting yes were Republicans Marie Waldron, Roger Niello, Scott Wilk.
  • AB 3031 by homosexual activist Evan Low and “bisexual” activist Alex Lee, both Democrat assemblymembers from the Greater San Jose area, would create an official “LGBTQ+ Commission” to hammer its tyrannical agenda upon you all the more. The June 26 amendments made AB 3031 even worse by thoroughly embedding this “LGBT+ Commission” agenda in the state government bureaucracy, and fundraising for it, and in the future, funding it directly with taxpayer dollars. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Josh Hoover, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis.
  • SB 954 by 3 Democrat Party state senators would promote the lie that condoms are effective pregnancy prevention and ignore STDs and other harms resulting from teen fornication. This bad bill further sexualizing children would require California public schools “to make internal and external condoms available to all pupils” from 7th grade onward. It would additionally require at schools from 9th grade onward to “make condoms available by placing condoms in a minimum of two locations on school grounds where the condoms are easily accessible to pupils during school hours without requiring assistance or permission from school staff.” There is no provision for parental notification or consent. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Heath Flora and Marie Waldron, both of whom supported SB 954 in committee.
  • SB 957 by “LGBTQIA+” Democrat Party State Senator Scott Wiener of San Francisco would require health providers to collect information about homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality via forms and questionnaires, then report this personal information to county health departments as well as to the State. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Kate Sanchez, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis.
  • SB 1174 by Democrat Party State Senator Dave Min of Orange County would prohibit cities from requiring registered voters to present identification before voting. Of course, prohibiting proof that you are who you say you are promotes both voter fraud by individuals and election fraud by corrupt “vote counters.” Yet without voter identification — especially photo ID — we shatter the “one person, one vote” American standard. Since our Democrat-controlled state government has statewide laws that do not require voter ID, it’s up to local governments that care about accuracy and honesty to require voter ID locally. But they can’t under SB 1174, legislation that is both anti-democracy and anti-America. Only Democrats voted yes on this bad bill.
  • Two bills devaluing citizens and rewarding illegal aliens — permitting illegals to receive 20% in taxpayer-funded home loan down payment assistance up to $150,000 (AB 1840) and prohibiting UC, CSU, and community colleges from “discriminating” against illegal-alien student job applicants (AB 2586). Only Democrats voted yes on AB 1840; three Republicans — Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis — voted for AB 2586.
  • Four racist reparations bills: AB 3089 making the State issue a “formal apology” for past “racism” (Republicans joining the Democrats in voting yes were Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Josh Hoover, Tom Lackey, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis, Scott Wilk); SB 1403 creating a “California American Freedmen Affairs Agency” within state government to “oversee all reparations activities”; SB 1050 to compensate “Black Californians who are descendants of enslaved people who lost homes or had their land taken without fair compensation as a result of racially motivated misuse of eminent domain”; SB 1331 creating an empty account in the state treasury to fund future reparations payments.
