The California State Legislature ended its 2021-2022 session late August 31 — and the results aren’t pretty.
More than any year, Democrat legislators are attacking your God-given liberties and constitutional rights, acting as if everything you own is theirs.
Also more than ever, Republican state legislators aren’t fighting to protect you. Frankly, it’s the worst crop of Republicans I’ve seen since arriving in Sacramento in 1993. Because, this summer in the State Assembly, Republicans were silent on nearly all moral issues.
I’m reporting this to you because you deserve to know why awful bills passed — why Gavin Newsom has received bills to permit infanticide, trample religious freedom, squash free speech, impose more medical tyranny, and steal more money and property from responsible citizens.
These wicked bills passing wasn’t your fault or my fault or God’s fault. No, it was the fault of evil Democrats and silent Republicans. Because this election year, when legislators are running in newly-drawn districts, and when more people have awoken to the pain caused by Democrat tyrants, many bad bills could have been stopped if the minority Republicans had stood and exposed them in the 80-member Assembly, the house we targeted.
We had to try to stop the Covid tyranny bills, anti-parent bills, and anti-free-speech bills. Because these unpopular Democrat overreaches were indeed stoppable. There were enough vulnerable Democrats, along with those who had personal concerns about the excesses of Democrat bosses. Yet it was up to Assembly Republicans to expose what the bad bills actually do, thus scaring or educating enough Democrats to abstain.
That’s how some other bad Democrat bills were killed this session — when Republican stood, spoke, and exposed them for what they were. But the 19 Assembly Republicans didn’t care enough to do that on horrible bills attacking your moral and social values.
We could have won with three “armies.” Yet, despite our advice, the in-house pro-parent groups lobbied only against one bill, SB 866, to the exclusion of the other anti-parent bills. And the Assembly Republicans were self-centeredly mute. So the two other armies that were needed (to join SaveCalifornia.com’s army in defeating these stoppable bills) didn’t materialize.
Therefore, the worst anti-family, tyrannical bills passed the Assembly (our “killing fields”), often on very close votes (takes 41 yes votes to pass bills). Think how these bills could have been defeated if Assembly Republicans had spoken up to expose their harms:
AB 1940 pushing promiscuity, abortion, risky vaccines, mind-altering drugs, and “sex changes” on children via “school-based clinics” behind parents’ backs Passed when no Republicans stood and spoke to expose it (see video at 1:26:55)
AB 1797 dividing Californians with a statewide database tracking “vaccination status” Passed when no Republicans stood and spoke to expose it (see video at 2:22:30)
AB 2098 punishing doctors who know and say the facts about Covid — attacking medical ethics, informed consent, and the doctor-patient relationship Passed when no Republicans stood and spoke to expose it (see video at 6:00:27)
AB 2223 permitting infanticide by prohibiting and punishing infant death investigations Passed when no Republicans stood and spoke to expose it (see video at 4:50:26)
SB 70 eliminating parental choice on kindergarten and mandating it instead, taking children away from their parents all the earlier Passed when no Republicans stood and spoke to expose it (see video at 2:30:54)
SB 1018 invading online privacy and censoring constitutional, conservative voices of truth Passed when no Republicans stood and spoke to expose it (see video at 6:30:49)
SB 1184 letting health insurers disclose children’s records to government schools and county governments, without parental consent Passed when no Republicans stood and spoke to expose it (see video at 2:09:12
SB 1419 eliminating parental rights to see all of their children’s medical records Passed when no Republicans stood and spoke to expose it (see video at 4:21:24)
If you watch entire Assembly floor sessions, you’ll witness 19 Republicans’ silence on most Democrat bills. They might call it their “ethic” of being liked, comfortable, or safe. But you and I know it’s a big, big problem.
Need more evidence Republican assemblymembers no longer speak on moral issues? See their silence on even the most extreme “LGBTQIA+” and abortion expansion bills:
SB 107 enabling out-of-state children to get California ‘sex changes’ (Wiener) Assembly floor, August 29: Watch at 2:46:10
SB 1142 building a State of California abortion services website telling out-of-state women where and how to abort their babies here (Caballero), Assembly floor, August 29: Watch at 3:41:22
Republicans don’t hold enough seats to win in the 80-member Assembly, so their voices are worth more than their votes. Is a silent Republican a useless Republican? When they’re in the minority, I say yes.
Now you know why the battle against most of the tyrannical bills was lost in August. And while it might be too late for this year, you and I need to elect — not RINOs, not silent, selfish seat-warmers — but constitutional fighters who always speak against evil.
Thank you for your phone calls, your donations, and your prayers the first eight months of 2022. Please continue with SaveCalifornia.com as, together, we fight for truth and shine our lights in California. We’re pursuing some vetoes right now and hope you’ll participate. And we have much to do to get out the vote of moral Californians this important election!
I’ll end with some real victories. Demonstrating the great potential for defeating Democrat overreach by exposing its harm, there WERE several awful bills stopped this legislative session. Bad and unpopular Democrat bills that were “shelved” by their authors include SB 866 (eliminating parental consent on teen vaccines), SB 871 (eliminating personal and religious exemptions for the “Covid vaccine”), SB 1464 (defunding law enforcement unless they agree to be the “vaccine police”), AB 1993 (requiring California workers be injected with the unneeded, risky “Covid vaccine”), SB 920 (punishing good doctors, violating patient privacy), and AB 1400 (giving government control over your medical treatment). These are definite wins!

Republican Assemblyman Kevin Kiley of Rocklin drills SB 866’s author, Democrat Senator Scott Weiner, with numerous questions at the June 1 committee hearing.
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR ACTION STEPS
You want the bad news first, or the good news?
I’m going to give you the bad news first, because the good news is better. Today, the horrible anti-family bill, SB 866, which would eliminate parental consent for “vaccines” for children as young as 12 years old, passed the Democrat-controlled Assembly Judiciary Committee and was sent to the Assembly floor. This committee passage was expected — and “fixed” — by the Democrat majority, which fast-tracked this awful bill by referring it to only one committee, their most liberal one.
But the good news is 2 of 3 Republicans spoke against SB 866 in committee, and one Democrat — Brian Maienschein of north San Diego County — voted no. What’s more, Jordan Cunningham, a “moderate” Republican from San Luis Obispo County, voted no, instead of abstaining, which has been his habit on too many controversial bills.
Stop and realize this means we have a greater chance of defeating SB 866 on the Assembly floor. Remember, last Thursday, May 26, we lost by narrow margins on two medical tyranny bills (AB 2098 and AB 1797) and the infanticide bill (AB 2223) — because Republicans did not raise their voices to expose what these bills would really do.
What’s changed since then? First, outraged California conservatives have been “spanking” Republican members for not speaking last week (so has SaveCalifornia.com). Then, our May 30 alert on SB 866 urged you to tell the Judiciary Committee Republicans, “Speak out against SB 866 — expose this bad bill.” Thank you for your calls — because today, we saw two of the three Republicans — Kiley and Davies — do just that!
So yes, we can win this on the Assembly floor. Remember too that SB 866, which tramples your God-given parental rights, initially failed by 1 vote before passing by 1 vote. Being that close was historic — and should make us all pursue defeating this hellish bill!
Parental rights is definitely a crossover issue, which is why 2 Democrat state senators voted no and 8 Democrat state senators abstained. And we’ve got a better chance to win on the Assembly floor — if Republican assemblymembers speak out this time.
You can help Republicans speak up, as they should. Believe SB 866 can be stopped on the Assembly floor and you’ll make them believe it too!
Republican Assemblywoman Laurie Davies of Laguna Niguel told SB 866’s anti-parental-rights author. homosexual activist Scott Wiener, that her parents had medical consent for her, so did his parents, and parental rights exist to protect children.
Today’s June 1 committee hearing was a success in further “wounding” and “dragging down” SB 866. Again, the best success was the two Republicans energetically speaking out and challenging SB 866 author Scott Weiner of San Francisco.
Remember, with SB 866, parents won’t even know if their children are being manipulated, coerced, or bribed into baring their arm for a shot they don’t need and you don’t want. And how are 12-year-olds going to remember their medical history, and whether they’re susceptible to adverse reactions? And what if they have an adverse reaction — and the parent doesn’t know what caused it? SB 866 eliminates parental rights, at a time when parents are needed to provide “guardrails” against profit-motivated Big Pharma.
Why take action now? Simply put, on radical bills like these, Republicans’ voices are their own “secret weapon.” By speaking out strongly on the Assembly floor, they can actually pull away enough nervous Democrats to stop SB 866 in its tracks! If they had done so last week, we could have defeated medical tyranny and infanticide bills.
PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION: Because SB 866 could come up for a vote as soon as the afternoon of Monday, June 6 on the floor of the California Assembly!
1. Call your own state assemblymember, whether they’re Republican or Democrat. Tell your Republican assemblymember you want him or her to “oppose and speak against and fight against SB 866 — don’t be silent on the Assembly floor!” Tell your Democrat assemblymember you want them to “Don’t attack parents — don’t eliminate parental rights on teen and pre-teen vaccinations. Children cannot give informed consent or be responsible for knowing their risks beforehand or dealing with problems after an injection. Oppose SB 866!” Find your own assemblymember’s website and office numbers here.
2. Leave anonymous voicemails (unless the assemblymember is yours) after hours Wednesday and Thursday 7pm to 8am for all 19 Assembly Republicans. Tell them: “Please speak against SB 866 on the Assembly floor. This horrible bill eliminates parental rights for children as young as 12 years old. Raise your microphone and speak up for parental rights and protecting children!”
If you haven’t heard yet, on May 26, the Democrats that rule the California State Assembly powered through Covid medical tyranny bills AB 2098 and AB 1797 and the infanticide legalization bill AB 2223.
AB 2098 revokes licenses of doctors that counsel patients against the “Covid vaccine”
AB 1797 puts Californians into a database, segregating them by “Covid vaccine” status
AB 2223 prohibits law enforcement from investigating infant deaths
That was the worst thing of all. But the second worst was zero Republicans spoke against any of these bad bills. All 19 of them refused to speak to expose these bills’ great harms.
And I have to tell you, based on other times this week that Assembly Republicans vigorously spoke out (such as on protecting Central Valley water), I believe these medical tyranny bills and infanticide bill could have been defeated if exposed in a verbal floor fight.
If you were in this fight, you have my sincere thanks and admiration for calling Sacramento in an effort to stop these horrific bills. We had to try, because last year a vaccine passport bill and a forced jab bill were pulled for lack of support. And this year, several Covid tyranny bills have already been dropped by their authors.
The votes Despite no Assembly floor fight exposing how bad these 3 bills are, the initial votes were still close. With our goal of denying these bills a majority vote (41 yes votes), we successfully pulled off more than a dozen Democrats; so AB 2098 was declared “passed” by just 5 votes, AB 1797 by only 2 votes, and AB 2223 by 4 votes). However, by the end of the session, votes had changed, both sides coalesced, and vote disparities increased.
See the final votes (members are allowed to change their votes by the end of the session as long as they don’t change whether the bill passed or not): AB 2098 | AB 1797 | AB 2223
The future At this point, the only way I see to defeat these 3 awful bills is IF they’re amended in the State Senate, are sent back to the Assembly floor for concurrence votes — but this time, Republicans lovingly raise their microphones to shockingly expose and defeat these bills.
However, if AB 2098, AB 1797, and AB 2223 pass the entire California Legislature in August, and are signed by Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, what then? I strongly believe there should be constitutional lawsuits filed against them all. Here’s why:
AB 2098 squashing medical independence on the “Covid vaccine” is an unconstitutional regulation of speech. By targeting doctors for Covid-related “misinformation or disinformation,” AB 2098 unconstitutionally targets professional speech. As the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals noted in Pickup v. Brown (2013), “…doctor-patient communications about medical treatment receive substantial First Amendment protection.”
The appellate court also stated, “where a professional is engaged in a public dialogue, First Amendment protection is at its greatest. Thus, for example, a doctor who publicly advocates a treatment that the medical establishment considers outside the mainstream, or even dangerous, is entitled to robust protection under the First Amendment—just as any person is.”
The author of AB 2098 knows his bill might be unconstitutional: On April 20, he amended AB 2098 to make its provisions “severable … if any provision of this act or its application is held invalid.”
AB 1797 segregating Californians by vaccine status, race and ethnicity, violates Californians’ privacy rights by eliminating confidentiality. By requiring, as the Legislative Counsel’s Digest of AB 1797 describes, “health care providers and other agencies, including schools, childcare facilities, family childcare homes, and county human services agencies to disclose the specified immunization information,” this bill violates the constitutional privacy rights of many Californians.
In 1972, California voters overwhelmingly added “privacy” to the list of “inalienable rights” guaranteed by Article 1, Section 1 of the California Constitution. In 1975, the California Supreme Court, in White v. Davis, relied on California’s newly-affirmed constitutional right of privacy to prevent police officers from posing as college students and gathering intelligence on what is said in the classroom when the intelligence gathered bore no relation to any suspected illegal activity.
As the court wrote: Moreover, the surveillance alleged in the complaint also constitutes a prima facie violation of the explicit “right of privacy” recently added to our state Constitution. As we point out, a principal aim of the constitutional provision is to limit the infringement upon personal privacy arising from the government’s increasing collection and retention of data relating to all facets of an individual’s life.
By violating Californians’ medical privacy – in the classroom and otherwise – AB 1797 is in direct conflict with the California Constitution.
AB 2223 robs already-born babies of their constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the laws. Since this isn’t about abortion, but infanticide — which is murder — we can foresee a federal constitutional lawsuit demanding the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee that “nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” If should be tried, if there’s indeed a pro-life majority at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Thank you again for fighting these awful bills through your phone calls or by donating to SaveCalifornia.com. We had to try, and I’m grateful you did your part. But most Assembly Democrats shirked their constitutional pledges and all the Republicans went mute.
