The battle continues for smart Californians

Monday, October 1, 2012, 6:15 pm | Randy Thomasson

Of all the bad anti-family bills passed by the Democrat politicians and signed in the last week by Democrat Governor Jerry Brown, there are three of these bad laws that smart Californians still can and need to resist.

AB 2109: Although Jerry Brown signed this bill to require parents of government schools, private schools, and home schools to receive a) a lecture about the supposed risks of not receiving injections of risky vaccines, and b) a signature verifying the parent heard the lecture – parents still won’t have to obey this new law. Why?

It’s because Jerry Brown still runs his administration, and in his AB 2109 signing message, he instructed that the new state parent immunization form have a “religious beliefs” exemption check box, similar to the current state form with the “personal beliefs” exemption section.

There is a large, growing group of good parents who oppose vaccinating their young children due to the health risks of vaccinations, including destruction of the natural immunity process, acceleration of auto-immune disease processes, and possible triggering of autism in infants.

What’s more, an increasing number of informed parents are concerned about toxic additives used in vaccines, the serious risks and side effects associated with receiving them, and how the long-term health of children may be permanently affected by the “professional” vaccine schedule. Read about these risks at Natural News here and here and here.

SB 1172: This tyrannical bill bans parents from seeking counseling for their child who thinks he or she is “homosexual.” It also threatens to discipline licensed counselors who care enough to help gender-confused children, who have often been molested or raped.

This new law is a terrible robbing of freedom in America. It goes against molested children, their concerned parents, and good-hearted counselors. Under SB 1172, a teenager who wants to overcome gender confusion cannot receive this counseling, even if his parent wants it and pays for it.

How to fight SB 1172:

1. Civil disobedience: There are God-given parental rights that are above man’s immoral laws. Civil disobedience, for the right cause, in the right way, is biblical. SaveCalifornia.com is calling upon courageous counselors and knowledgeable pastors to defy this tyrannical edict and give hurting children the soul recovery they desperately need.

2. Constitutional lawsuit: There are two federal lawsuits underway. One is from Pacific Justice Institute and the other is from Liberty Counsel. As Liberty Counsel puts it, SB 1172 violates mental health therapists’ “ethical obligation to help clients deal with conflict” (First Amendment religious freedom). Another argument is the violation of basic parental rights, a foundational right (God-given natural right) which the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld several times. See Liberty Counsel’s news release

AB 1856: Authored by homosexual activist and San Francisco Democrat Tom Ammiano, and passed by the Democrat-controlled Legislature, AB 1856 requires foster parents to be trained to positively support homosexuality, bisexuality, cross-dressing/”sex changes” among the abused children in their care. The training is called “cultural competency and sensitivity” in support of these unnatural and unhealthy sexual behaviors.

This burdensome, perverse training, which will be incorporated into existing training sessions for foster parents, threatens to tramples religious freedom, destroys moral sensitivities, and erases the differences between male and female in foster homes. But there’s a way to try to get around it.

If you’re a foster parent and have Christian values or have other moral values on sexuality, then you can go to these training sessions, in which the “LGBT” agenda will be taught, and just sit there and take notes without talking. Then go home and teach moral values to needy kids in your home. Refuse to have your mind and practices changed, even if they try to brainwash you.

But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.”

Republican votes to force foster parents into ‘LGBT’ indoctrination

Thursday, August 30, 2012, 8:15 am | Randy Thomasson

SaveCalifornia.com provides the following solely for educational purposes
and does not support or oppose candidates for public office.

On August 28, a Ventura County Republican named Jeff Gorell partnered with every Democrat in the California State Assembly to pass AB 1856, authored by homosexual activist and Democrat assemblyman Tom Ammiano of San Francisco. See the vote.

This intolerant, perverse, and foolish bill, sponsored by homosexual-bisexual-transsexual activists, forces foster parents to support sexually harmful behavior of abused children in foster homes — by requiring foster parents to have “instruction on cultural competency and sensitivity” in complete support of any homosexual, bisexual, or cross-dressing/”sex change” behavior of children in their care. This is despite the evidence showing these behaviors are inherently unnatural and unhealthy.

As I said in our news release, “This bad bill tramples religious freedom, destroys moral sensitivities, and erases the differences between male and female in foster homes. If this burdensome bill is signed, the state will be telling prospective foster parents, ‘Don’t sign up.’”

Gorell of Ventura County was the only registered Republican to vote for AB 1856. Gorell joined all 52 Democrats in voting “yes,” along with former Republican Nathan Fletcher of San Diego, now a registered independent.

From 1993 to 1996, Gorell was an advisor, writer and deputy press secretary to pro-abortion Republican Governor Pete Wilson. And while he now represents a morally conservative district, Gorell is also in the pro-abortion camp.

This week, not only did Gorell support a terrible bill pushing perversity in foster homes, he was present but abstained on other homosexual-bisexual-transsexual bills of the Democrats:

SB 1172 prohibits parents from hiring a counselor to help their molested child overcome gender confusion: Gorell did not vote

AJR 43, a resolution calling for a U.S. homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda: Gorell did not vote

SB 1140, a religious-freedom “ruse” that paves the way for homosexual “marriages”: Gorell did not vote

Next to a sincere compliment, I think I like a well-deserved and honest rebuke.

If you have children in government school, your ship is already sinking

Thursday, July 19, 2012, 6:02 am | Randy Thomasson

One year ago, California Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat, signed SB 48, mandating homosexual-bisexual-transsexual role models for children in public schools. That was after a long opposition battle fought by you and SaveCalifornia.com and many others.

When this terrible bill was signed, I went on CBN News to tell parents the harsh reality of SB 48 and seven other sexual indoctrination laws being pushed on children in government schools, and what they must do.

Please take a moment to watch my important message to parents. If you do not see the player below, click here to watch this important video.

It’s up to parents now

If you’re deeply concerned about the unnatural and unhealthy, destructive, and tyrannical homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda sweeping through society and already entrenched in the California government school system, then you were disappointed when the SB 48 repeal campaign fell short of qualifying for the ballot for the second time, with even fewer signatures.

Unfortunately, without major donors paying upfront to professionally and quickly gather most of the signatures, no volunteer-only signature drives have qualified for the California ballot over the last few decades.

Now, it’s up to parents to either subject their children to or protect them from SB 48’s in-your-face indoctrination telling children to aspire to be like homosexuals, bisexuals, and transsexuals.

SB 48 is just the tip of the iceberg

As I said in the CBN News interview, SB 48 is just one of 8 sexual indoctrination laws in California government schools. And there are 9 more reasons to be greatly concerned about the government-run “education” — academically, morally, socially, physically, and spiritually.

Did you know that the idea of the government teaching YOUR children came from some pretty wicked people, including an anti-God socialist named John Dewey?

Dewey, one of the “fathers of modern public education” and signer of the 1930 Human Manifesto, wrote:

“I believe that…[public] education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform…this conception has due regard for…socialistic ideals.”

Dewey also said:

“There is no God and there is no soul. …There is no room for fixed… or moral absolutes.”

Time to wake up

If you don’t think public schools can harm your child, may I be straight-forward? It’s time to wake up.

The vision of John Dewey is beyond realized, not only in California government schools, but across the nation. While there are certainly some good-hearted teachers loving children in public schools, we must remember that the government and its immoral, imploding, dysfunctional values are in charge. The system and the system’s mandates are the ultimate authority.

So now what?

If you have children or grandchildren who are under the influence of government-run schools for several hours each weekday, they will be hit with SB 48. First, through “supplemental materials” (i.e., handouts, homosexual biographies, classroom discussions, essays and other homework, special assemblies and outside speakers, videos, dramas, etc.); later new textbooks will come out.

According to SB 48, children from kindergarten through 12th grade, in all “instruction in social sciences,” must admire “the role and contributions of…lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans.” There is no parental opt-in or opt-out.

And underneath this cap of the iceberg your family ship is plowing into are seven other homosexual-bisexual-transsexual laws – plus many other threats guaranteed in public schools.

How did this come to be? The Democrat politicians, who have firm control of the California State Legislature, have been very busy over the last several years. Along with a few liberal Republicans named Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abel Maldonado, and Nathan Fletcher, they’ve approved a slew of bad laws that instruct children to support homosexual behavior, bisexual behavior, transsexual behavior, and any other “consensual” sexual behavior, and telling kids to even consider these lifestyles for themselves. These same laws prohibit the negative health consequences of these lifestyles to be mentioned.

Yes, you can protect your child

In this week’s scant news coverage of the second failure of the repeal movement, reporter Bob Unruh of WND.com got the news for families right. He uses SaveCalifornia.com’s data to explain that SB 48 is only the tip of the iceberg, and emphasizes that parents who don’t want their children sexually indoctrinated need to exit the government system, which is what we’ve been calling for since 2008. It’s for this very reason we created our special website, RescueYourChild.com.

Here’s part of the WND.com report:

Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, a leading California-based family issues policy center, said the war is not lost, however.

He issued a statement that it would be a good idea for “even more parents and grandparents” to take action to protect their vulnerable children by removing them from the “state government school system.”

He noted that SB 48 requires children from kindergarten through 12th grade, “in all ‘instruction in social sciences,’ admire ‘the role and contributions of … lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans.’”

“Parents and grandparents who don’t want their children and grandchildren sexually indoctrinated with unnatural and unhealthy ‘lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender’ role models must decide now to exit the immoral, imploding, dysfunctional government school system and place their children in church schools or home schools,” Thomasson said.

“This is no time to be indecisive, since you only have one chance with your child’s education. Because of SB 48 and … other homosexual-bisexual-transsexual indoctrination laws, California K-12 government schools have become radical sexual indoctrination agencies,” he added.

The great difficulty of ballot initiatives

I am energized by hope, but I don’t believe in false hope, which ultimately depresses and debilitates people. Getting children out of the government-controlled schools and into the Promised Land of church schools and home schools is the only solution. You cannot rely on ballot measures to protect your child from immorality or to train your child up in righteousness.

The sad reality is the 446,000 raw-count signatures collected by volunteers, which was reported by the Stop SB 48 campaign, would have — at an average 70% validity rate — yielded 312,220 valid signatures, far short of the 504,760 valid signatures needed to qualify for the ballot.

As we said in our July 17 news release, California initiative experts cannot remember any ballot measure in recent decades that has qualified with signatures primarily gathered by volunteers. The Stop SB 48 committee’s second failure to qualify for the ballot demonstrates the necessity of typically raising at least $1 million from major donors to get started on a professional signature-gathering campaign — as well as analyzing, developing consensus on, and vetting effective, rock-solid ballot language.

All this must be done prior to submitting ballot language to the Attorney General for official title and summary, which is then followed by 150 days that are permitted to attempt to gather sufficient signatures to qualify a statutory initiative or constitutional amendment for the California ballot. A constitutional amendment on this issue and other child-protection issues is required to trump the liberal California Supreme Court.
