The latest on the Rose Parade and why we need you now

Monday, December 30, 2013, 9:10 pm | Randy Thomasson

It’s the biggest controversy in California right now. I’m talking about the Rose Parade featuring a “live gay wedding” on a float as a role model for every child to see. It’s a direct attack against the family values — the moral values — you and I hold dear.

Parents are outraged. And SaveCalifornia.com is promoting an all-out boycott of this anti-family spectacle. We’re helping get out the word, loud and clear!

This is what I talked about today on 3 radio stations in Greater Los Angeles (KBRT, KNX, KABC), and in other media sources after being quoted in City News Service, the L.A. area newswire that goes to lots of media. Tomorrow I’ll be on Sacramento TV news alerting even more parents.

This is just one example of SaveCalifornia.com’s work that many have come to know and appreciate. Being a strong, bold voice for families, and fighting for the values you hold dear.

But what you may not know is that we depend on gifts from everyday people like you. And that we are very much behind in meeting our year-end needs. To continue fighting strong for you and your family, SaveCalifornia.com needs your help… gifts of all sizes from people who share our values. And we need your gift before Dec. 31 ends.

I know you’re busy, and receiving other requests for donations. But I hope you’ll realize that SaveCalifornia.com is worthy of your support, and that we have real needs, right now.

So please…if you haven’t done so yet, will you take a moment to financially empower us so we can continue serving you and your family in 2014? Thank you for whatever you can give today.

Please give your best gift to SaveCalifornia.com (your gift is tax-deductible)

How to put Jesus first at Christmas

We at SaveCalifornia.com believe in God and family — and we know families that pray together tend to stay together.

So we are strong advocates of returning Christmas to its true meaning as the “festival of Christ.” Because anyone who believes in Jesus can and should renew their excitement about Jesus during Christmas.

Remember that Christmas is about a miracle: the Incarnation where the Word became flesh and God became man; and the Birth of Jesus, the Savior of the world, proclaiming Good News that people’s sins can be forgiven.

In light of the amazing love of God revealed through Jesus Christ, believers should resist personal and cultural traditions that diminish adoration of Christ at Christmas. It’s a struggle. But at His own birthday celebration, shouldn’t Jesus be the center of attention?

SaveCaliforniaMinute_122313_200X160Listen to my SaveCalifornia.com Minute for ideas on how to glorify Jesus at Christmas, such as: reading aloud from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke about the incarnation and birth of Jesus, talking about it, and praying to Him.

Other ideas include singing songs of praise, watching a good “Jesus film,” and sharing around the table why you appreciate Jesus. What can you come up with?

 

charliebrownchristmas_200x160Peanuts creator, Charles Schulz, wanted “A Charlie Brown Christmas” to have the religious meaning that was central to his own experience of Christmas.

Despite being criticized for being “too religious” Schultz got his way in his 1965 movie. Enjoy this classic moment from this classic film as Linus explains to Charlie Brown the true meaning of Christmas.

From my heart to yours, I wish you and your family a JOYous CHRISTmas!

Give the gift of parental rights

Friday, December 6, 2013, 8:30 pm | Randy Thomasson

gifts_v14You know how a small word of encouragement can make a big difference?

Sometimes it takes just one person to affirm why we do what we do. Like Missy, who wrote on our Facebook page: “Thank you Randy for all you do for us parents.”

It’s not long or fancy. But it caught my attention. And it means a lot.

Because reaching, activating, and fighting for the rights of parents and the protection of children is a top priority of the SaveCalifornia.com team.

And even in this Christmas season, the moral assault upon families is intense. Even Christmas itself is under attack!

But just as the Liberal Left doesn’t stop pushing their immoral agenda, neither will SaveCalifornia.com stop boldly fighting the good fight for children and families.

And with your help today, we can continue to make an impact for good — for parental consent, for informed consent, for man-woman marriage, for the importance of fatherhood and motherhood, and to protect children from moral ruin.

Will you empower SaveCalifornia.com to represent you in the battle? To work, lead, and fight for parental rights statewide in 2014? Right now, you can help make the difference for us.

In 2013, SaveCalifornia.com led for parental consent on many fronts, including:

  • Alerting fathers and mothers to the sexually perverse agenda happening behind their backs in government schools.
  • Informing parents of the 10 “LGBT” laws harming children in California public schools.
  • Rallying dads and moms to boycott sexual indoctrination events, such as “Day of Silence” and “Harvey Milk Gay Day.”
  • Providing both short- and long-term educational solutions for families.
  • Producing “Church Rescue Packets” showing pastors how to start low-cost schools to rescue children in their congregations and communities.
  • Reaching countless parents — through media interviews, internet, social media, and purchased radio ads — who otherwise don’t realize the threat to their rights.
  • Empowering parents with the tools they need to protect the hearts, minds, souls, and bodies of their children.

You can help achieve more successes in 2014 with your support of SaveCalifornia.com and our Campaign for Children and Families. Will you consider giving a gift of $20 or more today to further our defense of parental rights, the foundation of family?

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration at this important time. Together, we’re standing for the best values the world has ever known — God’s moral virtues for the benefit of mankind. Thank you.
