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.

Our take on California’s 10 props on the fall ballot

Saturday, July 6, 2024, 7:49 am | Randy Thomasson
After delaying a few days so that Newsom & Co.’s fake “crime bill” could get on the ballot (it didn’t), California’s Secretary of State late on July 3 assigned proposition numbers to the 10 measures officially on the November 2024 ballot.

Here’s your first look at them with SaveCalifornia.com’s draft descriptions (you’re going to really want to vote NO on Prop. 3 and really want to vote YES on Prop. 36):

NO Prop. 2 wasting more taxpayer money on the wasteful, dumbing down, politically-correct K-12 government schools and community colleges. This $10 BILLION bond would cost much more than that with high interest, and is more expensive than a direct tax.

NO Prop. 3 permitting polygamy, bigamy, child marriages, incestuous marriages (and even people-animal and people-object marriages) by superseding all marriage statutes with a very broad and subjective state constitutional amendment claiming a “fundamental right..to marry” whomever and whatever (the sky’s the limit). Prop. 3 won’t make any practical difference on same-sex “marriage,” yet by superseding all existing marriage definitions, standards, and limits, this radical constitutional amendment would open up “Pandora’s Box.”

NO Prop. 4 funding another lie-based, subsidization of environmental wacko groups via a $10 BILLION bond, costing even more with interest, more expensive than a direct tax.

NO Prop. 5 permitting 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.”

NO Prop. 6 calling it “slavery” to make prisoners do work they don’t wish to do.

NO Prop. 32 increasing the state minimum wage to $18/hr. for all California employees (killing even more jobs and businesses).

NO Prop. 33 permitting local governments to enact rent control (resulting in less available rental housing, as landlords seeking income sell their rental houses and duplexes).

YES Prop. 34 requiring the ultra-left-wing, politically-active AIDS Healthcare Foundation of Los Angeles “to spend 98% of revenues from the federal discount prescription drug program on direct patient care.”

NO Prop. 35 taxing health care providers to pay for government the California state government’s “Medi-Cal” program (further increasing insurance rates for the rest of us).

YES Prop. 36 increasing penalties for theft and fentanyl possession, and repealing the worst parts of Prop. 47 from 2014.

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone,
and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.
John Adams, U.S. founding father and 2nd U.S. president

Piercing the darkness in California

Saturday, May 18, 2024, 9:51 am | Randy Thomasson

With evil forces hard at work, you hear a lot of bad news. But here 3 victories, right here in California!

The City of Downey, in southeast L.A. County, encircled by the 5, 710, and 105 freeways, has joined Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, and the County of Orange in banning any flag on government property except the U.S., state, city (or county) and POW/MIA flags.

This is the fruit of the labors of those who helped elect pro-family city councilmembers. It took 3 of 5 votes to win on May 14, but fortunately, there was a conservative majority!

The mayor, Mario Trujillo (sitting in the center of the council’s semi-circle), is himself an “LGBTQIA+” activist, who was seething with anger because he wants to promote the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, tyrannical homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda.

Kudos to the Downey chapter of Mass Resistance, which has worked for a couple years now for a conservative-majority council to approve this patriotic, pro-family flag policy. If you have and know a conservative city councilmember, ask him or her to introduce the same flag policy as Downey and Huntington Beach have bravely and lovingly done.

Watch the May 14 Downey City Council Meeting (relevant video is 5:37:17 to 5:56:40)
What can we learn from Jessica Tapia’s winning settlement?

1. Religious freedom and free speech in the First Amendment, plus California’s “employee protection” laws, can be potent allies of moral-values teachers in the government schools. Suing in federal court is the right venue and also a legal strategy to protect more teachers.

2. Other religious teachers opposed to the “LGBTQIA+” agenda in schools can also sue, with the help of able, First Amendment attorneys. If you’re a religious teacher in California “public schools” who doesn’t want to lie about what sex a biological boy or biological girl is, contact the same attorneys who represented and won for Jessica Tapia: Advocates for Faith & Freedom at 951-304-7583 or see their new page, Teachers Don’t Lie.

3. A federal lawsuit going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court is needed. The current high court seems to have either 5 or 6 judges that support religious accommodation, based on our written Constitution and the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Which teacher and legal organization will love others nationwide to pursue this? The Becket Fund for Religious Freedom is representing religious parents of children in K-12 government schools. And while losing in federal appeals court May 15, they’ve won the right of appeal to SCOTUS.
Watch this TV news report about this parental rights victory in San Diego County.

Watch the Lakeside school board parental-rights discussion, debate, and vote, starting at 25:00 and culminating with the unanimous vote at 2:28:07

The Lakeside Union School District Parents’ Bill of Rights includes:
* Public listing and disclosure of all curricula
* Parent advisory committees to review and make recommendations regarding parental notification, student privacy matters, and selection and implementation of curriculum and supplemental instructional materials
* Detailing of age-appropriateness of library books, ensuring parents’ ability to restrict their child’s access to objectionable books
* Parents’ ability to “opt-out” of what they deem to be inappropriate topics including sex education
* Notification of official or unofficial district actions related to bullying, suicidal intent, sexual transitioning, and academic achievement
* Parental notification of state-mandated or district-initiated modifications to restroom and locker room facilities that impact children’s privacy
* Parental written approval for administering all medications or medical treatments from cold medicines to insulin

Every pro-family school board in California should pass a similar resolution. So if a school board in your community has a professing pro-family majority, please lobby your local school board members to pass the same Parents’ Bill of Rights as Lakeside has.

However, loving parents and grandparents should realize that, despite this pro-family resolution, impressionable boys and girls enrolled in the government-controlled K-12 system in Lakeside and throughout California will still be barraged with:

* A raft of statewide school sexual indoctrination laws
* Racist indoctrination under the guise of “ethnic studies”
* Anti-people indoctrination under “climate education”
* Other curricula that are pro-abortion, pro-fornication, and anti-America
* A myriad of policies and practices disparaging parents, family, real history, and Christianity

SaveCalifornia.com urges loving dads and moms to permanently rescue your children from government indoctrination centers and take back your parental rights for good.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
