Union membership = worse government

Saturday, August 30, 2025, 9:27 am | Randy Thomasson

UPDATE August 30, 2025: We’ve added several new links at the end of this post to inform and equip you to leave your union behind for good!

UPDATE August 31, 2025: And see how bloated government union pensions are harming average citizens.

Original September 2, 2024 post:

Have you considered why California has such bad government? There are powerful forces supporting the New Communist Democrats, who are now three-fourths of both houses of the State Legislature, and who control all the statewide constitutional offices.

Yet the evil forces leading here aren’t the “useful idiots” (foolish voters dumbed down by the “public” schools, illegal aliens, self-centered government employees, etc.).

No, the wealthy, influential entities sustaining the iron-fisted rule of New Communist Democrats in California are both government unions and private unions. Don’t believe it? See how unions fund the Democrat Party Machine:

  • As reported in late 2023: “Democrats and their causes receive 95.7% of the cash from unions’ political action committees. In 2021-22 the Big Four gave more than $29 million to the SEIU’s United We Can super PAC and the NEA Advocacy Fund super PAC which support federal candidates for office. Another $16 million went to wealthy climate crusader Tom Steyer’s leftwing For Our Future Pac. Some $3 million went to Fair Share Massachusetts which supports a state wealth tax.

“Big money also flows at the state level, where public unions all but run many state capitals. In 2021-2022, the four largest government unions spent $27.9 million in Illinois, $24.9 million in California, $13.2 million in Minnesota and $12.1 million in Pennsylvania.

“Nearly 60% of unions’ annual political spending, or some $400 million, came from membership dues and about 40% came from unions’ political action committees for which workers make voluntary contributions for politics. While unions can’t send dues money directly to candidates, workers might be surprised to see their paycheck deductions funneled to outside groups that spend money on politics (including those that deploy the money out of state).”

  • As reported in 2021 after Gavin Newsom “won” his recall election, “Organized labor donated at least $25.7 million — or more than one-third of the total the governor raised to keep his job. Unions, of course, have deep ties to the Democratic Party and a stake in nearly every aspect of state government.”

Because of how unions and their “owned politicians” put deceptive tax hikes on the ballot, and since union bosses regularly spend union dues to elect and re-elect corrupt Democrat Party politicians, if you’re a union member, please resign from your union.

You have the legal right to do so, while keeping your job, benefits, and more of your own money. Here’s how government employees can get out and how private sector employees can stop funding the beast.

Remember, you have strong, fundamental free-speech rights to not be coerced into supporting objectionable union politics. Now that you’ve unpeeled the onion and found the rotten core, will you stop “feeding” the beast?

See how to resign from the union and still keep your job and benefits:

The biblical view of man is work-oriented. It affirms that man was placed on the earth to subdue it to the glory of God (Gen. 1:28; 9:1-7). It is not each man’s right to work. It is his duty to work. What is his lawful right is his right to compete for the job he wants, his right to compete for the labor services he wishes to pur­chase. No one has a right to my job, including me. Anyone should have the right to compete for my job, including me. And I have the right to compete for his.

Oppose Prop. 50, the unfair, racist, gerrymandering scheme

Saturday, August 23, 2025, 10:46 am | Randy Thomasson
Squiggly-drawn, gerrymandered districts drawn by the Democrat-Party-controlled California State Legislature BEFORE the 2008 creation of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission, which drew fairer districts in 2010 and 2020.

Well, they’ve done it: The ruling Democrat Party politicians in Sacramento — Newsom & Co. — have passed their unfair, racist, tyrannical gerrymandering plan to take to the voters this September and October.

Yes, there’s going to be a statewide special election in California for the sole purpose of eliminating 5 Republican congressional seats. Everyone who is just and fair should oppose this, because squiggly-drawn districts don’t represent specific communities or regional areas, but are crassly drawn to ensure one political party always wins.

Remember, this is not because the Republican governor and legislature of Texas did something immoral and wrong. No, Texas got rid of racially-drawn districts and made them fair again. But Newsom & Co. likes race-based districts and unfairly drawn lines that are not homogeneous in nature, but artificially drawn for the specific purpose of cutting up Republican voters, thus eliminating Republican seats. Now that’s unfair!

Right now, most Californian voters support keeping the “independent” commission that has drawn district lines twice, in 2010 and 2020, using census data. But there’s going to be an expensive September campaign to try to lie to the voters and get them to pass this monstrosity.

ACTION: Please share these facts with your friends, and urge them to vote NO on Proposition 50 in the November 4, 2025 statewide special election. Spread the word, stand up for what’s good and right and fair, and reject Gavin Newsom’s power-hungry, racist scheme, which might, just might, blow up in his face.

gerrymandering: the practice of dividing or arranging a territorial unit into election districts in a way that gives one political party an unfair advantage in elections.
Gerrymandering definition, Merriam-Webster Dictionary

“What’s going on right now is one of the most outrageous threats to democracy we’ve ever seen in this state … their entire strategy is trying to fool voters because it was voters that put this commission in place and voters have clearly now said that they want it to stay there.”
U.S. Representative Kevin Kiley of California, describing Prop. 50

“You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume. You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin [an 8-quart measuring container]: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.”
The Bible, Leviticus 19:35–36

Strategy and action to combat election fraud

Saturday, August 9, 2025, 11:51 am | Randy Thomasson

You want fair and just elections, meaning you can’t vote twice in the same election. And you want constitutional elections, where only U.S. citizens may vote.

We need this nationwide — and there are 3 current efforts worth supporting:

1. President Trump: No illegals to be counted in the 2030 census
2. U.S. Supreme Court: Will hear case challenging race-based districts
3. U.S. Congress: Kevin Kiley’s bill prohibiting redistricting beyond Census years (this would stop Texas and California and all other states from drawing new district boundaries more than once per decade)

Regarding #3, here’s how you can urge your own U.S. House of Representatives member to support H.R. 4889 to “To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment.” Find your House member, then call or email their Washington, D.C. and local offices.)

This is much better than the Republican state of Texas attempting to redraw legislative and congressional district lines (an effort that is moral and constitutional, to eliminate race-based districts), with the resultant rivalry of California and other Democrat-Party-controlled states threatening to redistrict for raw political power to try to regain control of the U.S. House.

As I wrote on July 26, at the start of this controversy:

“The Democrat Party governors of CA, IL, NY, and NJ are scheming for an unconstitutional POWER PLAY — special legislative sessions to gerrymander (unfairly redraw) additional Democrat Party districts to take over the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026. They say they’re only reacting to the Texas Legislature. However, the Texas redistricting plan is BASED ON PRINCIPLE to correct blatantly unconstitutional, racially-based gerrymandering from the past.” 

“But to put a stop to the Democrat Party governors’ so-called “justified” power grabs, Texas Republicans should abandon their effort, and wait for the Trump Administration to pursue a U.S. Supreme Court decision prohibiting racially-drawn congressional districts nationwide.”

SaveCalifornia.com’s strategy is not wimpy, but wise. For instead of provoking Democrats to win back the U.S. House of Representatives, it would be much better to ban race-based districts nationwide via a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which would positively impact all 50 states.

Meanwhile, President Trump banning illegals from the upcoming census estimating local populations of U.S. House districts could result in Democrat Party politicians losing between 20 and 30 House seats.

Bottom line, this is the time to fight for election integrity — so get energized and fight for it!

Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD,
But a just weight is His delight.
