California: A half-full glass

Do you see the glass half full or half empty?

I invite you to see the significantly good potential in a half-full glass of water, and all the satisfying quenching of thirst it can bring. Especially if it’s a big, tall glass.

The State of California is like that glass. And there are guaranteed opportunities to fill this big, tall glass with clean, sparkling, nourishing water that helps children and families as God desires.

So instead of thinking it’s impossible to fill the glass more, grasp the reality that indeed it is possible. And realize you are part of the faucet that releases the water that fills the glass.

‘Loser’ vs. ‘winner’ conservatives

Consider that there are actual or near majorities of Californian voters who support man-woman marriage, are against many types of baby-killing abortions, and who want lower prices and lower taxes. Conservative values are not extinct, just underrepresented in our elected representatives.

Now ask yourself — are liberals responsible for bad government, or are conservatives? Consider that:

• Many conservatives don’t vote or vote regularly

• Most conservatives don’t speak out publicly to educate other voters

• Many conservative pastors don’t help their congregations vote right in God’s sight

• Most conservatives never donate to or volunteer for good candidates

• Too many conservatives who know better have thrown up their hands and “dropped out”

The conclusion is obvious. Conservatives have been thinking like losers and not like community activists. This “loser” behavior must stop. For winners never have a “loser” attitude. Instead of imagining failure, they imagine success!

Your historic opportunity

Stop and realize that 2014 is California’s big election year. And for all those who see the glass as half-full, an election year is good, not bad. It’s good because you have an opportunity to make our government and laws and culture better.

On the ballot are governor and all the other statewide offices. Also up for grabs is every state assembly seat, half the state senate seats, and all of California’s congressional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Because so much is at stake, I’m challenging every moral conservative to choose to make a difference for God’s values here on earth. The results are in your hands, because whoever fights harder for something usually wins it.

How to make a simple and strong difference in your community in the 2014 elections:

1. Distribute a candidate information flyer: Report and compare the popular moral/social/fiscal positions of area candidates on a flyer. Make it look good, and document as much information as you can. Put these flyers on the windshields of vehicles in shopping centers, church lots, neighborhoods – and of course, online. Maximize your social engineering, a special website, and any other creative ideas you have. And recruit home schooling and church schooling teenagers to distribute flyers on a given Saturday or Sunday.

2. Find a candidate with great values and volunteer to hold a fundraising “coffee”: When a candidate is morally principled and has a chance to win, you can really help by inviting your friends to meet the candidate in your home, which is his or her opportunity to ask for funding for mailers and other essential campaign activities. Invite your value-voter friends over and have them bring their checkbook!

3. Consider starting a community group to do even more: One person can powerfully influence others. See how at SaveCalifornia.com’s Training Center (download “10 Ways To Build A Pro-Family Army”).

Here are the declared or likely candidates for Governor (in alphabetical order):

Jerry Brown

Tim Donnelly

Neel Kashmir

Abel Maldonado

Now are you motivated? For the love of God and people, turn on your faucet.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
Proverbs 29:2 NKJV

Your values were championed on Russian TV

Tuesday, November 26, 2013, 6:00 pm | Randy Thomasson

RussianTVaYou’ll be pleased that God’s values for children and families were seen and heard on a leading Russian TV news program.

In November, SaveCalifornia.com and the Sacramento mom we brought to talk to a Russian reporter and cameraman helped educate millions of Russian-speaking people in Eastern Europe, as well as in the United States.

Right now, Russia and other Slavic nations are being intensely targeted by homosexual-bisexual-transsexual activists, who are demanding official approval.

But my evidence-based moral arguments and the reporter’s eye-opening details from San Francisco and Sacramento are convincing Slavic families of the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, tyrannical “LGBT” threat to children, parental rights, and religious freedom. We’re motivating them to stand and fight, and not back down.

Watch the 13-minute RTR report and read the partial English-to-Russian-to-English transcript below:

Reporter: These brightly colored children’s books are the ABC’s of gay love and non-traditional lifestyles introduced into American schools in the state of California starting from kindergarten age 5.

This illustrated book titled “Daddy’s RussianTVbRoommate” is meant for readers as young as 4-years-old. The story is simple: dad divorces mom and marries a brunette man in a bright Hawaiian shirt. They live together and the book indicates that this is normal. They sleep together, shave together, and here we see the mom who is clearly supporting their relationship.

The children are also taught in their schools about their friends, the transsexuals. How to dress like a man or woman is described here in this book. [reading from book] Ruby was born male, she identifies as female. Ruby sometimes wears her favorite dress and puts on lipstick and eyeshadow.

Randy Thomasson: “They’re trying to normalize what’s not normal. For example, if a boy says that I want to dress like a girl, then governmental American schools will reply that, ‘Oh! This is a good feeling, so we will help you change your clothing.’ But this child is in need of psychological help. More than often, the reason for this psychological disorder is the child was subjected to sexual abuse in his family.”

Nadia Otterstad: “This small minority group is changing all of our laws and this is putting pressure on us — normal traditional families — because we are increasingly losing our rights as parents. We honestly don’t have rights, I would say. Our children will not go to public school. My husband and I want to educate our children at home because that is where we as parents will have control of our children.”

RussianTVcRandy Thomasson: “The LGBTQ activists all say that they are the victims but are in fact victimizing everyone else. For example, here in California, if you own a Christian bookstore, selling religious church books, and a man that is dressed like a woman — a transsexual — applies for a job — if you don’t hire him, you may be subjected to a fine of $150,000. The same also goes for all other businesses.”

Randy Thomasson: “Sexual practices are not civil rights, but a behavior. That is why many African Americans are offended with this — they know what true civil rights are and aren’t. Race is obviously identity, but LBGTQ groups stole this idea of civil rights, they hijacked it.”

TAKE ACTION: Educate others with the truth. Please forward or share this information with your friends today.

Stop casinos from coming into your community

Thursday, November 21, 2013, 2:45 pm | Randy Thomasson

Once in a while, a morally-good, family-friendly measure gets on the California ballot that has a chance of success because it was funded ahead of time and isn’t likely to be reversed by the Democrat-controlled California State Legislature.

Gambling harms families and communities, and is against the will of God. This is why SaveCalifornia.com supports a newly-qualified ballot proposition that will stop a mammoth casino from being built right off the 99 freeway in the middle of California’s Central Valley. If this battle is lost, you can expect to see big casinos with highly-addictive slot machines popping up in urban areas throughout California, doing serious damage to individuals, families, and communities.

If you agree, then in November 2014, in order to reverse Jerry Brown and the Democrat politicians’ expansion of “Indian” gambling on non-Indian land, you need to vote NO on the “Referendum to Overturn Indian Gaming Compacts.” (That’s how referenda work in California: if you supported qualifying it for the ballot, you’ll want to vote “no” on the proposition that’s “referring” the bill to the People to ask their will on it.)

Cheryl Schmitt, the leading opponent of expanding gambling in California, explains: “When California voters approved Proposition 1A in 2000, they were specifically promised that casinos would be limited to originally restored Indian land and not permitted in neighborhoods and urban areas. Alarmingly, the Legislature recently approved this gaming agreement for the North Fork Tribe, which has land eligible for gaming in the Sierra Mountains, but was recruited by Las Vegas-based casino operator Station Casinos for a more lucrative casino location right off Highway 99 in the Central Valley. This referendum is about upholding the will of California voters and giving voters, not elected officials, the choice to make such a dramatic change in California’s Indian gaming policy.”

In California, there are three types of ballot measures. A constitutional amendment is above the Legislature and above the State Supreme Court. A statutory initiative is above the Legislature, but is not above state judges. And a referendum is the weakest because it can be amended or repealed by the Legislature in defiance of the voters’ will (see Article II, Section 10(c) of the California Constitution.)

But despite this gambling measure being a referendum, even some liberals oppose gambling. So it’s less likely than referenda against homosexuality or abortion to be reversed by the California Legislature, which has both of its houses controlled by radically pro-abortion and pro-homosexuality-bisexuality-transsexuality Democrats.

Nearly $3 million went into professionally, thus effectively, qualifying this particular referendum for the ballot. The organization “Stand Up For California!” and their gambling Indian allies (the ones that don’t want new competition and want to keep gambling on “tribal lands”) on Oct. 1 turned in 784,751 raw-count signatures. Using the random sample method, elections officials have announced a 72.43% validity rate. The official random count estimate was 559,174 valid signatures (At least 504,760 valid signatures are currently needed to qualify a referendum for the ballot).

More from Stand Up For California!: “The controversial gaming compact, AB 277, signed by California Governor Brown and narrowly approved by the Sacramento Legislature, would allow the North Fork Rancheria to partner with Las Vegas based Station Casino to build a 50-table, 2000-slot machine casino nearly 40 miles away from their tribal land and directly adjacent to a major highway. This compact would be in direct contrast to what voters overwhelmingly approved in 2000 with the passage of Prop 1A, which allows for Indian gaming to take place only on a tribe’s originally restored Indian lands. Furthermore, this gaming compact would allow exactly what the voters clearly said they did NOT want — allowing Indian gaming off of a tribe’s restored Indian lands and into major urban areas.

“Once signatures have been verified, the referendum would be placed on the November 2014 ballot; giving voters the right to decide if they agree with the Sacramento decision makers to allow an off reservation casino in the midst of their community or if they will reinforce their original decision to keep Indian gaming on a tribe’s restored Indian lands.”

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
