ALERT: Keeping opposing anti-Prop. 8 bill

Thursday, April 29, 2010, 4:51 pm |

Send your prewritten message opposing the anti-Prop. 8 bill, SB 906.

Even though the pro-homosexuality, pro-abortion Democrats control the California State Senate, a bill undermining Prop. 8 still has not come up for a vote. I’ve got to wonder if the emails people have been sending through SaveCalifornia.com are part of the reason.

SB 906, which redundantly repeats the First Amendment’s religious freedom guarantee that pastors don’t have to officiate for any marriage they oppose, attempts to trick California voters into thinking that homosexual “marriages” won’t harm religious freedom.

But of course “gay and lesbian marriages” will trump other people’s fundamental rights, as the gay-marriage hammer is used in lawsuits against moral business owners, property owners, state contractors, and non-church religious organizations. Not to mention being taught as the norm to impressionable children in government schools. The whole reason behind SB 906 is to make it easier to legalize homosexual “marriage” licenses on the 2012 ballot.

We know that the emails being sent to the State Capitol by pro-family Californians, which state “SB 906 intends to pave the way for same-sex ‘marriages’ on a future ballot,” are being noticed. See this except from the reply of Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg:

Thank you for your recent communication in opposition to SB 906 (Leno). This bill would protect religious freedom by reaffirming the separation of church and state where marriage is concerned. As I understand it, you oppose this bill on the grounds that it would pave the way to allowing the state to legalize same-sex marriage. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.

Irrespective of whether SB 906 would have the effect you describe, I am a strong supporter of peoples’ right to marry regardless of sexual orientation…

Despite the support of the Senate’s liberal leader, the floor vote on SB 906 has been delayed for more than a month. Maybe in this election year, some Democrats want to avoid seeming anti-voter. Or maybe some homosexual activists won’t support anything that purports to support religious freedom. Or maybe the Democrat senators are waiting for opposition from pro-family citizens to die down before passing SB 906 in a couple of weeks.

ACTION: Whatever the reason for the delay, don’t hesitate to do your part to win! Now is your window of opportunity. Please send our prewritten email to Sacramento – even if you’ve already sent it before – and forward this message to all your friends to urge them to do the same.

Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure,
for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

Hebrews 13:4 NIV

Time for a good news break

Thursday, April 22, 2010, 7:01 pm |

It’s not often that you hear multiple good news stories that happen in the same day in the midst of the seemingly chronic bad-news reality of California politics.

But today there were three good — or at least not bad — news events that caught my eye:

First, the tricky bill in the California State Senate that would pave the way for homosexual “marriages” on a future ballot (SB 906) didn’t come up for a vote Thursday. This means you have more time to call and email your opposition

Second, the Democrat-controlled California State Assembly has voted to confirm liberal Republican Abel Maldonado as Lieutenant Governor. As you probably know, Maldonado supported Harvey Milk Gay Day and voted for big tax hikes last year. This year, he coauthored the anti-free speech resolution ACR 82. How would have you voted on Maldonaldo’s confirmation? Ironically, it can be seen as good news. Because if the Senate also confirms him next week, Maldonado will be out of the Legislature. He won’t be able to vote for any more of the Democrats’ anti-family bills. And a much more pro-family state senator could be elected to replace him.

Third, the selfish and oppressive power of California’s humongous government-employee unions is being realized across the political spectrum. On Thursday, liberal Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said existing pension structures were “unsustainable.” Also on Thursday, sometimes-fiscally-conservative Arnold Schwarzenegger called overly-generous government employee pensions “the single biggest threat to our fiscal health and California’s future.” Understand California’s pension crisis

Now, don’t get me wrong. There’s more bad news than good in California, because most people, and definitely most politicians, dishonor God and His ways. And I personally believe people will have to experience more pain before they’ll change themselves, their family values, and their voting habits.

Will Prop. 8 be overturned by California voters?

Tuesday, March 30, 2010, 5:21 pm |

There’s a new, large poll out on homosexual “marriages” from the Public Policy Institute of California.

It’s got some things that pro-family citizens won’t like. But keep reading, because it’s a shot in the arm that should get you talking to others about the natural and beautiful institution of marriage between a man and a woman, the very foundation of family.

The March 9-16 PPIC poll found that support for homosexual “marriage” legalization is edging up in California. Among all adults, more say they favor (50%) same-sex “marriage” than oppose it (45%). This is a five percent increase from similar polls between 2004 and 2009, when support for the notion of homosexual “marriages” hovered around 45%.

Sadly, majorities of Democrats (64%) and independents (55%) support destroying the natural definition of marriage. However, most Republicans (67%) oppose redefining marriage. Most whites (55%) express support for homosexual “marriages,” while Latinos are more opposed (51%) than in favor (43%) of altering the foundation of familia.

How accurate is the poll? Telephone polls are less accurate than they used to be, because a lot of conservatives won’t talk to pollsters who ring their home or cell phone.

Ultimately, the only poll that matters is on Election Day. The PPIC poll claims that likely voters supported homosexual “marriage” legalization 49% to 45%. But that’s not very reliable since the poll identified “likely voters” based on what people said about themselves, not on their actual voter records.

WHAT SAVECALIFORNIA.COM IS SAYING

I had the privilege of telling the truth about this issue to millions of Latinos that read La Opinion, California’s largest Spanish-language newspaper.

From the March 30 newspaper article, entitled “Gays seek Latino support”:

Randy Thomasson of the organization SaveCalifornia.com said the PPIC survey had spoken with people who are not necessarily voters.

“This poll is a wake-up call to start talking about the importance of nature, morality, marital oneness, and children. Caring about the most important things in life means supporting marriage for only a man and a woman.”

The Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman does not support gay marriage but civil unions and same-sex couples to adopt children.

Steve Poizner, Republican candidate for governor is also in favor of civil unions but not gay marriage. As the only Democratic candidate for governor Jerry Brown is sympathetic to the marriage of same-sex couples, calling it a fundamental right.

HOW TO RESPOND

Don’t be complacent. Let this horse-race poll be your wake-up call that marriage licenses are up for grabs. If you don’t know it yet, hear it now: Homosexual activists want to qualify a constitutional amendment to override Prop. 8 in 2012 or 2014. This would be a war for marriage licenses all over again.

So take action today. Talk to children and young adults and, as appropriate, sensitize them to the importance of protecting the natural institution of man-woman marriage. Tell them the facts:

• CHILDREN: An extensive body of research proves that children do best with a married father and mother. Yet children raised in homosexual environments experiment homosexually themselves and develop gender identity problems.

• LONGEVITY: Marriage between a man and a woman lasts, on average, 10 times longer than homosexual relationships.

• HEALTH: Monogamous sex between a faithfully married husband and wife is the only true “safe sex” around, while homosexual “sex” is inherently unhealthy.

• BIOLOGY: It’s a lie to promote same-sex “marriages” because men and women are biologically created for each other, not men for men or women for women.

• SPIRITUAL TRUTH: In the Bible, God consistently says that marriage is only for a man and a woman. To disagree with this exclusive, sacred definition is to go against God Himself.

“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.”
U.S. Founding Father Samuel Adams, 1775
