Well, they’ve done it: The ruling Democrat Party politicians in Sacramento — Newsom & Co. — have passed their unfair, racist, tyrannical gerrymandering plan to take to the voters this September and October.
Yes, there’s going to be a statewide special election in California for the sole purpose of eliminating 5 Republican congressional seats. Everyone who is just and fair should oppose this, because squiggly-drawn districts don’t represent specific communities or regional areas, but are crassly drawn to ensure one political party always wins.
Remember, this is not because the Republican governor and legislature of Texas did something immoral and wrong. No, Texas got rid of racially-drawn districts and made them fair again. But Newsom & Co. likes race-based districts and unfairly drawn lines that are not homogeneous in nature, but artificially drawn for the specific purpose of cutting up Republican voters, thus eliminating Republican seats. Now that’s unfair!
Right now, most Californian voters support keeping the “independent” commission that has drawn district lines twice, in 2010 and 2020, using census data. But there’s going to be an expensive September campaign to try to lie to the voters and get them to pass this monstrosity.
ACTION: Please share these facts with your friends, and urge them to vote NO on Proposition 50 in the November 4, 2025 statewide special election. Spread the word, stand up for what’s good and right and fair, and reject Gavin Newsom’s power-hungry, racist scheme, which might, just might, blow up in his face.
gerrymandering: the practice of dividing or arranging a territorial unit into election districts in a way that gives one political party an unfair advantage in elections.
Gerrymandering definition, Merriam-Webster Dictionary
“What’s going on right now is one of the most outrageous threats to democracy we’ve ever seen in this state … their entire strategy is trying to fool voters because it was voters that put this commission in place and voters have clearly now said that they want it to stay there.”
U.S. Representative Kevin Kiley of California, describing Prop. 50
“You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume. You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin [an 8-quart measuring container]: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.”
The Bible, Leviticus 19:35–36
