URGENT: Tell Newsom to veto these costly bills

Saturday, September 2, 2023, 9:39 pm | Randy Thomasson
SCROLL DOWN FOR ACTION STEPS

On September 1, the Democrat leaders of the California State Legislature, by their actions, challenged Newsom to sign their most radical, unconstitutional, anti-family bills.

By passing hundreds of bad bills in the appropriations committees, your leftist Democrat “rulers” are saying they don’t care what you think, and they actually believe they can “make” Newsom sign their devilish agenda, like he has before.

But this year is different, since California’s uberliberal Democrat governor IS running for president, with a self-induced $31.5 BILLION state budget deficit hanging over his head. And if Newsom doesn’t balance it, his claim he’s a “fiscal conservative” will disintegrate.
Among the hundreds of bad Democrat bills removed from the “suspense file” and passed in the Senate and Assembly appropriations committees Friday are:

AB 659 pushing harmful Gardasil jabs upon junior highers and college students

AB 5 forcing public-school employees into “LGBTQ cultural competency training”

AB 443 discriminating against moral/religious police officers and office candidates

AB 1078 taking away local control of school boards to make curriculum decisions

AB 576 funding all Medi-Cal chemical abortions. at taxpayer expense

SB 58 promoting a raft of “hallucinogenic substances” as “recreational drugs”

SB 274 eliminating suspensions/expulsions of willfully defiant teens (grades 9-12)

SB 345 forcing new costs on cities/counties for abortion/”LGBTQIA+” agenda

SB 407 punishing religious foster parents who don’t support “LGBTQIA+”

SB 541 requiring “internal and external condoms” be available in grades 9-12

SB 596 empowering school boards to arrest “disorderly” parents at meetings

SB 729 requiring insurance to pay for artificial insemination of gays and trans

SB 760 forcing government schools, grades 1-12, to have an “all-gender restroom”

With immoral Democrats controlling three-fourths of each house of the State Legislature, which of these bills might Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom veto?

There have been signs for months that Newsom is sharpening his veto pen.

In the media, he’s repeatedly mimicked his predecessor, Jerry Brown, saying it would not be “prudent” for the state budget to “imbalanced.”

And on September 1, Newsom’s Department of Finance representative was noticeably absent from the front table of the “suspense file” meeting of the Senate Appropriations Committee, where “Finance” is regularly represented. Was this a boycott by the Newsom Administration after being told to get ready for lots of costly bills on his desk? It’s plausible.

So, this is now a “donkey fight,” where the blatantly bad Democrat legislators are challenging another evil Democrat, Governor Gavin Newsom, who, as long as his presidential hopes are alive, wants to put the brakes on additional spending.

NEW ACTION: Urge Newsom to veto these bad bills. Put on the pressure to remind him these radical bills are unpopular.

1. Call Newsom’s constituent services office, Monday-Friday, 9-5 at 916-445-2841. When a staffer answers, they are a person paid to take your simple message of bills you are supporting or opposing. List all the bills in one phone call, but keep it brief.

2. Use Newsom’s web form to oppose all these bad bills at once.

On this page, here are the steps:
1. Under “What is your request or comment about?”, scroll to and select “Legislation Issues/Concerns”
2. Under “What is the purpose of your message?”, select “Leave a Comment”
3. Click “Next” to go to the next page
4. Under “If applicable, what is your stance on this topic?, click “Con”
5. In the message field, simply write in all caps: VETO THESE COSTLY BILLS, then copy and paste in SaveCalifornia.com one-sentence bill descriptions (from the above list)
6. Click “Next” to go to the next page
7. Enter your first and last name and email address (but not your phone number)
8. Click “Submit”

The California State Legislature will adjourn its 2023 session on September 14; the governor will have until October 14 to sign or veto bills.

It is apparent that, those who appear to wield unparalleled power – and, have a disturbing tendency of abusing this, as a means of sadistically and savagely subjugating their fellow countrymen and women, with abundant impunity – can not stand the heat when the tables are turned against them, and will swiftly head for the hills, whenever they perceive any substantial threat.

AB 957 ALERT: ‘Affirm’ the ‘trans’ delusion, or lose your kids

Saturday, August 12, 2023, 5:20 pm | Randy Thomasson

SCROLL DOWN FOR ACTION STEPS

AUGUST 21, 2023 UPDATE: This is a war of attrition. Because some of the Democrat state senators know AB 957 is still a bad bill, your anonymous, afterhours voicemail messages are strategic and can wear this bill down and prevent a floor vote. The California State Senate’s next opportunity is Thursday, August 24 at 9am.

If you support parental rights and religious freedom and know the unnatural “trans” agenda is hurting children, please take renewed action by following the directions below in our previous alert. Thank you for caring!

The very immoral, anti-parent bill, AB 957, on the floor of the California State Senate, CAN be defeated with your help this weekend. Because when the Senate returns the afternoon of Monday, August 14, you don’t want them voting on it!

As written, AB 957 is a very bad bill instructing family court judges to disfavor parents who have moral objections to their child “transitioning,” and don’t “affirm.” Bottom line, support the biological facts and get your children taken from you!

Grasp that even the Democrat-run Legislative Counsel’s Office has described AB 957 as: “This bill, for purposes of this provision, would include a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.”

So, as amended July 3, this radically-bad bill continues to require “a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression.” Don’t “affirm” your own child’s transsexual delusion — don’t get custody! This is about as anti-parent as it gets.

The Democrat author of AB 957, Lori Wilson (shown above; see her Solano County district) claims her anti-parent, anti-free-speech, anti-religious-freedom, bill is “essential” because all “trans” children need to be “affirmed.” And despite Wilson publicly claiming to be a “Christian,” she ignores what the Bible says about transsexuality being a sin.

What’s the best strategy to stop AB 957 on the floor of the California Senate?

STEP 1: Call your own state senator — at both the district and Capitol offices — and identify yourself, on Monday, August 14, from 9am to 2pm (the Senate floor session begins at 2pm). Leave your message with a staffer or via voicemail. Say something like, “I’m calling to urge Senator ________ to oppose AB 957. The amended bill fails to protect religious parents and violates Senate Judiciary Committee members’ demand for religious accommodation. Don’t punish otherwise good parents by taking away their kids. Oppose the amended AB 957!”

STEP 2: Call the 4 Democrat state senators who demanded religious accommodation in AB 957 in the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 13. When you call anonymously and after-hours (7pm-8am and all weekend), quote their own words back to them and call them a liar if they don’t stand up and oppose this anti-parent bill.

Tell them, “In committee, you passed AB 957 on the condition that it be amended to accommodate religious parents. Well, the latest amendments don’t protect them at all. You need to stand up to oppose this bad bill. If you don’t, you lied about it in committee!”

The below quotes are from the June 13 California Senate Judiciary Committee hearing video (start with Senator Allen’s comments at 1:18:48) | transcript (see end of page)

  • Senator Ben Allen 916-651-4024 | 310-318-6994: “I certainly want to make sure that just because someone is religious, for example, and there’s nothing that they do as a parent that would impact the health and welfare and mental well-being of the child — they accept the child’s decisions but they struggle with it themselves – I would certainly want to make sure that person wasn’t dinged under a custody dispute in the context of this bill…I would like the author and the chair to spend some time working together on tightening up some of the language so that we can make sure that a parent — for whom we have no concern about impacting the mental health of the child, but who may have a personal, perhaps a religious, conflict with gender fluidity — wouldn’t be dinged if we don’t have a concern about their ability to be a good parent to that child.”
  • Senator Anna Caballero 916-651-4014 | 559-264-3070: “I want to encourage you to continue the discussion, and I reserve the right not to support it on the floor if it doesn’t change — ’cause I think there’s challenges with exactly what does it mean. And I don’t think we want to send something to the court that causes confusion or wrong decisions.”
  • Senator Angelique Ashby 916-651-4008 | 916-651-1529: “I’m going to support you today, Assemblywoman Wilson, but I’m going to join my colleagues in asking you to work with Senator Umberg as Judiciary Chair on adding some clarifying language.”
  • Senator Tom Umberg (Judiciary Committee Chair) 916-651-4034 | 714-558-3785: “We will continue to work to make sure that the bill, as interpreted by the court, will be done in a way that is consistent with your view and our view of public policy…We will continue to work to make sure that — Senator Allen’s point — that if you have a parent who — perhaps he has a religious belief that is not consistent with someone wishing to transition but is unconditionally loving and tolerant, that that doesn’t preclude that parent having custodial rights. Is that your understanding also?”

STEP 3: Call anonymously 7pm to 8am and all weekend to the deciding-vote Democrats. In your afterhours voicemails, tell them, “I’m calling to urge you to oppose AB 957. The amended bill fails to protect religious parents and violates Senate Judiciary Committee members’ demand for religious accommodation. Don’t punish otherwise good parents by taking away their kids. Oppose the amended AB 957!”

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

A screaming child is an untrained child

Thursday, August 3, 2023, 1:27 pm | Randy Thomasson

Are you tired of hearing squalling, screaming kids throwing tantrums?

Temper tantrums that happen more than once are not “natural” or a “phase.” Now, temper tantrums persist because of parents who refuse to take authority and discipline their children for rebellion.

The Word of God in Proverbs 13:24 tells us: He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

The problem is worldly parents not taking authority over their children. You can’t reason with a young child. But temporarily pain for blatant rebellion trains younger children to have self-control and respect for authority.

As renowned Christian child psychology expert Dr. James Dobson has written in his 1978 classic, The Strong-Willed Child, from which his child disciplining tips have been adapted into the 1986 pocketbook, Temper Your Child’s Tantrums:

“Corporal punishment in the hands of a loving parent…is a teaching tool by which harmful behavior is inhibited.”

“A spanking is to be reserved for use in response to willful defiance, whenever it occurs.”

“If punishment doesn’t influence human behavior, then why is the issuance of speeding tickets by police so effective in controlling traffic on a busy street? Why, then, do homeowners rush to get their tax payments in the mail to avoid a penalty for being late? If punishment has no power, why does a well-deserved spanking often turn a sullen little troublemaker into a sweet and loving angel?”

“A child is fully capable of discerning whether his parent is conveying love or hatred. This is why the youngster who knows he deserves a spanking appears almost relieved when it finally comes. Rather than being insulted by the discipline, he understands its purpose and appreciates the control it gives him over his own impulses.”

If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
The Bible, Hebrews 12:7-11
