A few days ago, I received a disturbing email from a SaveCalifornia.com partner:
Dear Randy:
I was shocked recently when I walked into my local Safeway store here in California to see a sign proclaiming that all Safeway stores were celebrating June as “Gay and Lesbian Pride Month.” The sign proclaiming this was an official Safeway sign and it was prominently displayed to be seen when customers walked in the front door. It had a picture of Harvey Milk and explained the great things he had done for gay and lesbian “civil rights.”
I asked to speak to the store manager. When he arrived I politely explained that I thought it was wrong for Safeway to promote just one side of such a controversial moral issue. I pointed out that the recent fight over homosexual marriage [Prop. 8] showed how controversial the subject was and that at my house we taught traditional family values.
He agreed it was inappropriate for Safeway to take only one side on this controversial subject…AND TOOK THE SIGN DOWN.
This shows the power of one person speaking out. I urge everyone to go into your local Safeway store and speak to the manager concerning this.
Michael C.
This should anger you as much as it angered Michael. Safeway, which owns 1,775 stores in the U.S. and Canada, as well as 312 Vons stores in Southern California and Nevada, is openly promoting homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality to children and adults alike. If you didn’t already know it, Safeway, which is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, is a big-time supporter of the “LGBT” lifestyle.
Take action your community: Think about the children shopping for groceries with their mothers, and let your care for them motivate you to walk into your local Safeway or Vons today. If you see the the grocery-store-sponsored “Gay and Lesbian Pride Month” sign, do what Michael did and speak firmly but friendly to the store manager. If the sign comes down, be thankful. If the manager won’t take the sign down, tell him or her that you and your friends will take your grocery shopping elsewhere.
Oppose SB 572, the ‘Harvey Milk Gay Day’ bill
Even worse than Safeway’s perverse, in-store promotion is SB 572, the “Harvey Milk Gay Day” bill, which is scheduled for a June 17 committee vote in Sacramento. This extreme, anti-family bill is authored by homosexual activist Mark Leno and 19 Democrat co-authors.
SB 572 pressures public schools — from kindergarten on up — to perform “suitable commemorative exercises” promoting what homosexual activist Harvey Milk believed in: the entire homosexual, bisexual, transsexual agenda, along with a vehement hatred of “organized religion.”
There is no parental opt-out and no definition or limit to the “exercises” the bill would make students do every May 22, which SB 572 would label “Harvey Milk Day.”
If SB 572 becomes law, schoolchildren would have positively portrayed to them homosexual experimentation, homosexual “marriages,” sex-change operations, and anything else that’s “in the closet.” Like he did last year, Governor Schwarzenegger should veto this very inappropriate bill, which has nothing to do with academic excellence.

TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW
Last year, every single Democrat in the California State Assembly voted “yes” to impose Harvey Milk Gay Day upon K-12 government schools. Fortunately, Governor Schwarzenegger quietly vetoed it. SaveCalifornia.com is pursuing another veto. This is why pro-family Californians must raise their voices loudly at each step of the legislative process to say NO, NO, NO to SB 572.
Please pick up the phone and tell Sacramento, “I want you to oppose SB 572, Harvey Mlik Day. This bill would allow gay pride parades and LGBT-promoting assemblies at public schools for children as young as kindergarten. I and other parents are very opposed to this special-interest attack on children’s innocence. The large majority of Californians are opposed to it too. Schools should teach academics, not sexual experimentation. Oppose SB 572.”
Call Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (916) 445-2841
Call the 8 Democrats and 3 Republicans on the Assembly Education Committee
Email Schwarzenegger and your own California state legislators
