UPDATE — Tuesday, August 23, 10 am: Please call Sacramento RIGHT NOW because the Assembly floor vote on the amended SB 1146 could be Tuesday.

Be glad that SaveCalifornia.com has delivered to state assemblymembers the awful truth about the amended SB 1146. If you can back us up — please leave brief messages to their office right now and ask staffers to take your message to the floor, which is in session.

Your immediate help is especially needed because homosexual activists are urging a yes vote on SB 1146.

Please continue calling your own assemblymember and the deciding votes to urge defeat of the unconstitutional, subjective, and oppressive SB 1146. SCROLL DOWN FOR PHONE NUMBERS.

CALL NOW: Stop the State from CONTROLLING Christian colleges

Wednesday, August 10, 2016, 5:30 pm | Randy Thomasson

OpposeSB1146_SupportReligiousFreedom_441x240

STOP — THIS ALERT HAS EXPIRED. SEE THE LATEST HERE

If you support protective boundaries between what’s secular and sacred, and don’t want the private policies of Christian colleges dictated by California state government, please take quick action. SaveCalifornia.com makes it simple for you to leave short voicemail messages with key state assemblymembers (SCROLL DOWN FOR PHONE NUMBERS).

Please realize the latest amendments to SB 1146 still put religious colleges and universities at risk. While the latest amendments remove the crippling lawsuit provision, the bill still sets a very bad precedent by permitting the State to violate time-honored boundaries between secular and sacred.

The amended SB 1146 will force and regulate new public disclosures for religious-based colleges. It would require religious-format colleges to post new disclosures all over campus, to submit to State regulators on campus, and then report to the State when anyone is expelled for violating the college’s clearly-communicated biblical standards and moral code (which will invite a full SB 1146 back all over again).

Bottom line, if the amended SB 1146 becomes law, you can expect the harmful lawsuit portion of the bill to return next year, and after that, the even worse bill banning Cal Grants to students at religious colleges.

takeaction_blackorangeTHE NEXT VOTE IS THURSDAY, AUGUST 11. EXPRESS YOUR CONCERN AND ANGER RIGHT NOW, FROM WEDNESDAY 6PM TO THURSDAY 8AM.

When you call, leave this message: “Oppose SB 1146 as amended. Protect ‘separation of Church and State.’ Protect the freedom of religious institutions to decide their own policies. Support true diversity — oppose SB 1146.”

Before you call, please heed these important instructions: If you live in their districts, say that you live in their district. If you don’t live a members’ district, call between 6pm and 8am to leave voicemail messages and DO NOT PROVIDE any identifiers (most offices ignore you if they know you’re outside their district).

CALL THE DECIDING VOTES ON THE ASSEMBLY APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE

These 8 members of the Assembly Appropriations Committee will vote the morning of Thursday, August 11 on SB 1146, which is currently on the “suspense file.”

  • Lorena Gonzalez (Democrat) (916) 319-2080 Capitol | (619) 338-8090 district
  • Susan Bonilla (Democrat) (916) 319-2014 Capitol | (925) 521-1511 district

SB 1146 is secular thievery of sacred things

Wednesday, July 27, 2016, 1:55 pm | Randy Thomasson

arrows

The latest amendments to SB 1146 do more damage against religious freedom and permit the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, tyrannical “LGBTIQ” agenda to grab more sacred territory from Christian-format colleges and universities.

The June 29 amendments to this bill, which have captured the attention of a growing number of believers, says religious campuses can’t have student housing — or even restrooms, for that matter — unless biological men can sleep among the women and use women’s restrooms too: “…if students are afforded housing or restroom accommodations consistent with their gender identity.”

The amended SB 1146 also demands that religious colleges’ married housing must include “married same-sex couples.”

The bill also forces unbiblical re-writes of Christian-format colleges’ “rules of moral conduct” and “religious practices” by demanding they be “uniformly applicable to all students regardless of the student’s sexual orientation or gender identity.”

And this paragraph from the Legislative Counsel’s Digest means anything done on campus in favor of biblical standards against homosexuality and transsexuality can be PUNISHED by a big lawsuit with big fines:

“This bill would, except as provided, specify that a postsecondary educational institution that is controlled by a religious organization and that receives financial assistance from the state or enrolls students who receive state financial assistance is subject to that prohibition and violation of that prohibition may be enforced by a private right of action.”

This is why people who know their conscience is theirs and their property is theirs are rising up and flooding the deciding votes with opposition calls to SB 1146, one of the worst anti-religious-freedom bills ever dreamt up on American soil.
