2ND UPDATE Tuesday Oct. 24: In tonight’s Republican caucus meeting, a fourth round of voting to choose a House speaker nominee. And, with 128 votes, Mike Johnson of Louisiana has the majority. Among all the speaker candidates so far, with Liberty Score of 74%, Mike Johnson is the 5th-most conservative (after Byron Donalds (100%), Jim Jordan (94%), Kevin Hern (82%), and Gary Palmer (80%). So will the RINOs finally fold and support Johnson?
UPDATE Tuesday Oct. 24: Today, RINO Tom Emmer (Majority Whip under former speaker Kevin McCarthy) won the majority vote of the Republican caucus. Yet it took four ballots, more Emmer and his moderate/liberal “Republican” allies expected. Then Emmer requested a roll call vote of Republicans and more than 20 conservative, moral-values Republicans said “no way” to Emmer’s left-leaning candidacy. So after 4 hours of hard questions in this private “town hall meeting,” Emmer ended his bid for speaker (see latest updates).
As soon as Wednesday, Oct. 25, another round — five Republicans will speak to the Republican caucus members about why they should be speaker. Among the five now running, can you spot the RINOs (Republicans in Name Only)? Hint: They have low grades on conservative, constitutional policies:
Byron Donalds of Florida Liberty Score 100% (A grade)
Chuck Fleischmann of Tennessee Liberty Score 56% (F grade)
Mark Green of Tennessee Liberty Score 85% (B grade)
Mike Johnson of Louisiana Liberty Score 74% (C grade)
Roger Williams of Texas Liberty Score 76% (C grade)
Call your Republican U.S. Rep now at 202-225-3121 to demand Byron Donalds as speaker!

After rejecting both RINO Steve Scalise and pro-family constitutionalist Jim Jordan, the registered Republicans running the U.S. House of Representatives are now on “round three” of speaker candidates.
Demonstrating how this race is now wide open, there are several who have thrown their hats into the ring. On Friday, SaveCalifornia.com showed our social media followers the conservative moral/social/fiscal issues Liberty Scores of the speaker candidates:
Today’s update is Jodey Arrington of Texas is not running, but Gary Palmer of Alabama is. And among the Republican speaker candidates, Palmer has the third-highest Liberty Score — 80%. The Republican caucus is expected to hold internal votes as soon as this Tuesday.
UPDATE Monday, Oct. 23: RINO Republican Dan Meuser has dropped out.
Why do these scores, based on member’s actual votes, matter? Because we need a conservative constitutional fighter as the powerful Speaker of the House to: short-term, steadfastly stop all bad bills; mid-term, aggressively use the House’s investigatory powers to expose the Deep State, the Bidens, election fraud, and much more; and long-term, to help true conservatives (not RINOs) be elected.
TAKE QUICK ACTION: Call your own Republican U.S. Representative (if you have one), to say “Support a conservative constitutional fighter for speaker.” It would also be wise to name your top 1, 2, or 3 speaker picks, since at Tuesday’s private, internal meeting, there might be several ballots in an elimination process. Call 202-225-3121 and provide your zip code, or send an email via house.gov when you enter your zip code.

You’ve probably already heard that the ruling Democrats in the California State Senate on Wednesday passed 2 big anti-parent bills: AB 665 coercively emancipating 12-year-olds for any reason, and AB 957 discriminating against religious parents in child custody cases.
1. Because Democrat politicians actually oppose parents’ rights: With their votes and even their words — especially on the Assembly floor this year — Democrat Party legislators increasingly believe parents “get in the way” of the Democrats’ “LGBTQIA+” and abortion (baby-killing) agendas. This subversive philosophy was strengthened last year when SB 866 initially passed the State Senate, making it “easier” for them to trample parental rights.
2. Because Democrat politicians prostitute themselves to “LGBTQIA+”: Both bills, especially AB 957, were sold to the ruling Democrats as benefitting children who “identify” as another “gender.” Experts at playing the “LGBTQIA+ card,” Democrat bosses twisted the arms of 4 Democrats who, June 13 in the Senate Judiciary Committee, had demanded a religious-freedom amendment as a condition to support AB 957 on the floor. Yet no religious accommodation was put in the bill, since those 4 Democrats were reminded how the “LGBTQIA+” agenda supersedes everything. And with AB 665, Democrat state senators were sold how this somehow benefitted “LGBT youth.” You see, in order to capture kids, their perversity agenda must squash God-given parental rights, every time.
3. Because Democrat politicians are professional liars: Over the years, I’ve repeatedly seen Democrat legislators draft deceitful bills, redefine and misdefine words, break their promises, and arrogantly claim what’s true is false and what’s false is true. AB 665 author Wendy Carrillo falsely claimed her bill never threatened parents, and said AB 665 is for “homeless youth,” when that’s not even a condition of her bill. And AB 957 author Lori Wilson claimed religious parents would never have their children taken away, that her judicial mandate is not a mandate, and that she’d “work” with the Judiciary Committee chair to amend AB 957 to accommodate religious parents — but these were all lies.

The California State Legislature will adjourn its 2023 session on September 14; the governor will have until October 14 to sign or veto bills.
Democratic governors don’t tend to jump at the chance for a sit-down interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News. They also don’t tend to do tours of states they consider hostile to their own, like Florida. But then there’s California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. He prefers the national stage to dealing with the rampant dysfunction happening in his own state. And while Newsom claims he isn’t running for president, the evidence suggests he actually is.

It’s truly evil and harmful to children and society that Thursday morning on July 13th, the Democrat-controlled California Senate passed a legally powerful, radical, and completely subjective definition of “marriage,” which, if foolish voters agree to add it to the State Constitution, would be dreadful.
Thank you for everyone who called. You did your job, SaveCalifornia.com fought hard, but the Senate Democrats were wicked and the Senate Republicans did not fight for you.
On the California State Senate floor, 13 Democrats spoke for, and only 1 Republican (Brian Dahle) spoke weakly against, ACA 5.
If approved by a majority of California voters, it would deceptively insert 8 very broad, non-specific words, “The right to marry is a fundamental right,” into the California State Constitution.
Yet ACA 5 has no definitions of marriage or spouse, and no limit on spouses. Placing marriage subjectivity into the California State Constitution and calling it a fundamental right, above all other marriage-regulating statutes and every other marriage standard (such as number of persons in the marriage, minimum age to be a spouse, prohibitions against incestuous marriages, the assumption that a spouse be a person, etc.) renders current marriage laws unapplicable. ACA 5 powerfully erases all marriage “limitations” and boundaries!
Yet, despite having our analysis, not one Republican state senator voted no or exposed ACA 5’s radical legal effect – the very broad and subjective “right to marry,” with NO definitions, NO standards, and NO boundaries.
Meanwhile, most of the Democrats speaking in favor of ACA 5 were open homosexuals, who childishly said a vote against ACA 5 was a vote to hate them personally. Especially disgusting were the Democrat senators who stood and spoke to either reject or redefine Christianity as “justification” for this radical, anti-family, immoral bill.
And don’t forget that, on June 26 in the lower house, the California State Assembly, 58 Democrats and 9 Republicans voted for this monstrosity. The Republicans were Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Bill Essayli, Josh Hoover, Devon Mathis, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis.
ACA 5 will go on the November 2024 ballot as a proposed state constitutional amendment. Today, please share this with your friends so reasonable Californians can plan now to vote NO next year. Let’s unite against polygamy, “child marriages,” incestuous “marriages,” and people-object “marriages”!
And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” Jesus Christ, Savior of the world and God in the flesh, in Matthew 19:4-6
