Thank you to you and all who followed SaveCalifornia.com by participating with our straightforward, principled message of “kill the bill.” You are a steadfast pro-family advocate who stayed true, when others faltered.
The hard lesson of AB 659, the tyrannical Gardasil bill, passing its first committee after being successfully stalled for two whole months, is never amend a bad bill.
“Never amend a bad bill” has been a proven rule for family-values activists for decades. Yet the awful AB 659 passed its first important hurdle April 18 because too many ignored this important ethic. Because when a bad bill is in trouble, amending it make it easier for the bad bill to pass.
The big mistake that helped AB 659 pass committee was the “Freedom Angels” (Tara Thornton and Denise Aguilar) actually made a deal to remove their opposition when the Democrat bill author replaced mandatory-shot language with deceptive, threatening, coercive language, reading, “it is the public policy of the state” that students “are expected” to receive Gardasil shots before advancing to 8th grade or enrolling in college.
Sadly, the bill author had a whole week to tell the wavering Democrats on the committee the “mandate” and the opposition had been “removed.”
As Aguilar said on her April 18 Instagram, “Freedom Angels was called into the author’s office last week, stating that if the mandate was removed, would Freedom Angels remove our opposition. We agreed to this because we needed to remove the mandate. So that’s why I was not at the podium opposing it. We came to an agreement, if the mandate was removed, then Tara and I would not oppose the bill. So it was like a muzzle on us.”
So what now? The tyrannical, harmful, deceptive AB 659, which is still a functional “mandate,” coercing painful Gardasil jabs upon children in public and private school (including all boys and including church schools) and upon UC, CSU, and community college students up to age 26 now goes to the Assembly Appropriations Committee on its way to the Assembly floor.

Watch the debate where 4 Republicans spoke against and 8 Democrats spoke in support of AB 665 (starts 1:25:26, ends 1:51:28)
When the 80-member California State Assembly returned from its 10-day, taxpayer-funded “Spring Recess,” the bill the Democrats made sure to pass was eliminating parental consent for “mental health counseling” for their own child.
I want to publicly commend the four Republicans who stood up to expose the wrong of this bill. They were James Gallagher, Joe Patterson, Devon Mathis, and Tom Lackey. Yet AB 665 still passed after twice as many Democrats stood up to essentially say children know better than parents.
Yet this blatantly anti-family bill could have lost more votes if all, or nearly all, of the Republicans had stood to say something. I wish more Republicans had stood up to say:
“Why not allow children ages 11, 10, 9, 8, or 7 to consent?”
“Under your bill, is there any way a parent can prevent their 12-year-old child from being removed and placed into a ‘residential shelter’?”
“If a child independently consents to be placed in a ‘residential shelter,’ will the child’s parent be notified?”
“What legal safeguards are there to prevent non-family adults manipulating or coercing children to ‘consent’?”
“If parents are legally responsible for their own children, it’s wrong to separate their rights from their responsibility — this bill erases parents.”
It wasn’t just a failure that more Democrats spoke than Republicans, but that half of the 18-member Assembly Republican Caucus actually abstained on voting: Phillip Chen, Laurie Davies, Bill Essayli, Heath Flora, Josh Hoover, Jim Patterson, Kate Sanchez, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis. This is a significant lack of conviction!
PLEASE FOLLOW-UP WITH THE REPUBLICANS:
1. Thank the 4 Republicans who spoke for parents and against AB 655. Ask them to keep exposing the Democrats on the floor: James Gallagher (916-319-2003), Joe Patterson (916-319-2005), Devon Mathis (916-319-2033), and Tom Lackey (916-319-2034).
2. Call the 14 Republicans who were silent on AB 665. Tell them they need to speak up to expose anti-family bills (their voices are worth more than their votes): Juan Alanis (916-319-2022), Phillip Chen (916-319-2059), Megan Dahle (916-319-2001), Laurie Davies (916-319-2074), Diane Dixon (916-319-2072), Bill Essayli (916-319-2063), Vince Fong (916-319-2032), Heath Flora (916-319-2009), Josh Hoover (916-319-2007), Jim Patterson (916-319-2008), Kate Sanchez (916-319-2071), Tri Ta (916-319-2070), Marie Waldron (916-319-2075), and Greg Wallis (916-319-2047).
The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble. Proverbs 4:19
He devises wickedness on his bed; He sets himself in a way that is not good; He does not abhor evil. Psalm 36:4
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. Proverbs 16:25
Since the CDC’s Feb. 9 announcement, SaveCalifornia.com has been helping sound the alarm:
Most importantly, we’re urging people to RESIST this unenforceable “recommendation”:
Tell your employer you “will not comply with an obsolete, useless, even harmful Covid shot mandate, so don’t even try.”
Tell your doctor neither you nor your family will take this unnecessary, obsolete, dangerous shot.
In California, Gavin Newsom’s Department of Public Health announced earlier this month that there won’t be a Covid jab “mandate” for California schoolchildren.
In California, homeschooled children are exempt from any ANY and ALL unwanted “vaccination requirements.”
Don’t think the novel mRNA “Covid vaccine” is dangerous? Stop believing the Big Media, and instead see all the injuries and deaths from “the jab” that the Big Media is hiding.
As Steve Kirsch, a California tech entrepreneur turned Covid “vaccine” reporter, notes: “We have anecdotal evidence that the vaccines are causing great harm: Stillbirths up by over 10X post-vax rollout. Pilot deaths are up by 6X or more. Young people (such as 15 year olds) dying of heart attacks are up by over 100X above normal.”
