The Democrats are attacking you and the ‘Republicans’ won’t fight for you

Sunday, September 4, 2022, 2:10 pm | Randy Thomasson

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.

This was despite SaveCalifornia.com distributing expert analyses to 19 Assembly Republicans and 30+ deciding-vote Democrats: AB 2098 (8/29) | AB 2223 (8/29) | SB 1419 (8/29) | SB 866/SB 1184/SB 1419/SB 1479/AB 1940 (8/15) | No more Covid mandates (8/15) | AB 2223 (5/24) | AB 1797 (5/24) | AB 2098 (5/23)

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!

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

TOP ALERT: 2 anti-parent bills to kill on the Assembly floor

Thursday, August 25, 2022, 8:45 pm | Randy Thomasson

AUGUST 25 UPDATE: AB 1940, SB 1184, and SB 1479 have passed the Democrat-controlled California State Legislature. This leaves only 2 Democrat-authored bills shoving aside parents and eliminating parental rights on the floor of the California State Assembly. But with enough opposition calls (including demanding Republican assemblymembers stand and speak), these awful bills can be defeated!

There’s practical hope, since, due to strong public outcry, SB 866 has been stalled on the Assembly floor since June 6.

Please act NOW. Your bold, loving action today can determine the outcome of these blatantly anti-family bills, which can come up for votes in daily Assembly floor sessions between August 15 and 31.

Oppose these 2 anti-parent bills on or coming to the Assembly floor:

SB 866 threatens teenagers with coerced vaccines behind parents’ backs

SB 1419 eliminates parental rights to see all of their children’s medical records

Note: See our new alert on SB 1479, which passed the California State Assembly on August 18. This bad bill would mandate all K-12 government schools develop a “Covid testing plan,” targeting every boy and girl for invasive testing, tracking, and quarantining, shoving aside parental rights and wishes.

See details about these bills at the SaveCalifornia.com Legislation Center.

YOUR 3 STRATEGIC ACTION STEPS

STEP 1. Leave voicemails for the deciding-vote Democrats and 1 independent* 7pm to 8am and weekends, without identifying yourself, since most legislative offices “trash” messages from outside their districts: Tell them, “Don’t you dare eliminate parental rights!

Permission to be angry at 55 Democrats and 18 Republicans

Friday, August 19, 2022, 12:30 pm | Randy Thomasson

On August 18, 2022, the Democrat-controlled California State Assembly passed SB 1479 to force every K-12 government school (including charter schools) to have a “Covid testing plan” (for the purpose of testing, tracking, and quarantining children, shoving aside parents’ rights and wishes).

Final passage of SB 1479 in the State Senate is expected by August 31.

What can you do?

  • Urge Governor Newsom to veto SB 1479
  • Rebuke assemblymembers who voted for, or refused to speak against, SB 1479

1. Demand a veto

Believe it or not, you should actually urge a veto of SB 1479 based on Governor Newsom’s Department of Finance signficant opposition to the bill, citing its shabby financing and redundancy with current Covid policies. See DOF’s August 2 letter opposing SB 1479

Newsom’s daytime, weekday constituent services number is 916-445-2841 and here’s his web form. When you send your comment opposing SB 1479, make sure you select “Con,” meaning “oppose.”

2. Rebuke the silent Republicans

SB 1479 initially only passed by 3 votes (41 votes are needed to pass bills). So this anti-parent, medical-tyranny bill passed with only 43 yes votes, while 16 Republicans silently voted no and 3 Republicans abstained. Later that day, 12 Democrats “went with the flow” and added their yes votes.

Realize minority Republicans (only 19 out of 80 assemblymembers) don’t have the votes to win, so their voices are worth more than their votes. Thus, you can reasonably conclude a non-fighting, silent Republican is a useless Republican.

Kudos to Republican Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, the sole speaker against SB 1749 on the Assembly floor. Showing it’s not too hard to stand and speak, Kiley raised his microphone and said: “It’s time for our schools to be educational institutions rather than arms of the public health bureaucracy. This state has had the most onerous school shutdowns and mandates and testing regime of any state in the country, and we have done inestimable harm to our students as a result. No other state has taken the approach that we have. Parents and families are fed up with it. This week, for the first day of school in Los Angeles Unified, 50 thousand kids were absent. Enough is enough and I urge a no vote.”

But where were the other Republican voices? Because if even 3 more Republicans had risen to speak — about the August 11 new CDC “guidelines” recommending against screening those without symptoms, about the fact that parental consent is missing from SB 1479, and about the current California “Covid” data proving there’s no epidemic — this would have informed and pulled away or scared off several more Democrats, enough to deny this bill the minimum 41 votes to pass. Truly, a missed opportunity.

Tell these 18 silent Republicans, “Your refusal to speak up for parental rights and against medical tyranny is wrong. I’m angry with your cowardice not to speak against SB 1479.”

Because assemblymembers tend to “trash” messages from non-constituents, please call anonymously afterhours and all weekend. Yet with your own assemblymember, identify yourself for maximum impact.

* Also abstained on SB 1479

3. Protest the anti-parent Democrats

Tell the 55 Democrats who voted yes on SB 1479: “I’m angry that you voted for SB 1479, which parents don’t want and children don’t need. Stop oppressing us and stop trampling parental rights!”
