The following comes from an August 8 email from the Pacific Justice Institute.
Dear Friends,
I’m writing you today with two important updates about our legislative efforts.
1. AB 1266: The so-called “Bathroom Bill” that would be a nightmare for our students is now on Governor Brown’s desk. That means he must sign or veto it by early next week, and a final decision could be only hours away. Thanks to all of you who have been calling the Governor’s office—keep it up! It doesn’t hurt to call again—the number is (916) 445-2841. We have collected more than 1900 petitions from concerned citizens that we are planning to deliver today!
2. SB 323: Remember the Anti-Boy Scouts Bill? It’s back! It’s been a while since the Legislature took any action on this second bill featured at GenderInsanity.com. But final action still awaits, and the next major hearing will be this coming Monday, August 12 before the Assembly Revenue & Taxation Committee. Most people probably assumed this bill went away because of the Boy Scouts’ disastrous move to allow openly gay scouts. Not at all—the Legislature is still seeking to punish the Scouts, demanding that they go even further. Even worse, this bill would threaten tax exemptions of a host of other youth organizations and institutions, from Christian schools to soccer teams and Special Olympics.
We need your help! Please call the committee members listed below and urge them to vote no on SB 323! And in case you think the Legislature is a lost cause—think again! We actually have a very good chance to defeat SB 323 because a 2/3 majority is required, and the majority party does not yet have all their votes locked up. If you live in Northern California, please consider joining us at the committee hearing on Monday at 1:30p.m. in the State Capitol. You don’t need to prepare a speech—just stand up with us and state your name in opposition. There is strength in numbers!

When the kid generation becomes the adult voting generation, they’ll already have become used to the perversion of society. This will make it easy for govt to further obliterate any vestiges of morality. Pagan Greece, Pagan Rome, pagan Canaanites, pagan Egypt of the pharoahs … they all enjoyed wonderful times … so what’s the big problema about getting rid of Christianity today?
Skai: Those ancient cultures had one advantage over our modern degeneracy: they believed in FERTILITY as essential to the survival of their societies. However twisted they allowed certain of the practices of their elite to become, marriage remained marriage and raising boys to become men and girls to become women remained important.
I have long considered our governor a hardcore liberal and a flake. If he has a grain of common sense left, he will veto this insane bill.
He doesn’t have a drain of common sense, morality or Catholicism in his core.
This is the kind of evil and absurdity that happens when Democrats govern in the absence of effective opposition. The Democrats have supermajorities in both legislative houses in California and the governor is a leftist Democrat. These sorts of bulletins urging people to call or write don’t have any influence at all on the outcome. California is a single-party state, the ruling party will do whatever it wants, and the ruling party is hell-bent on codifying every idiotic leftist idea into state law.
You are quite right. The question is why do Californians elect a one party government.
Catechesis is more important than ever. For 40 to 50 years the Catholics in the pews have not been asked to read the “Bible” at home on a regular basis. When the “Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition” was provided by the Magisterium over 20 years ago, Bishops and Priests have not encouraged Catholics in the pews to study it at home.
Catholics do not know their Faith, and they vote according to their knowledge or lack thereof.
It is no wonder that evil politicians are elected.
Lack of catechesis for the average Catholic in the pew is one of the biggest failings of Dioceses Bishops in the USA. – one of causes of the downfall of our society.
PETE,
You are right, and the bishops will find out just how right you are on the days they stand before the judgment Seat and by all teachings of true Catholic Teachers, the will be a dreadful day for them!
God bless, yours in Their Hearts,
Kenneth M. Fisher
More proof that the State of California is a Gigantic Left Wing Freak Show!
I’m sorry, but the rest of the country has been saying that for years, John. Sorry to burst your bubble. Hollywood is a liberal freak magnet! SanFrancisco is the watering hole for the world’s sexual deviants. The Pacific is an allure for every new age, scifi, space alien and body buff and nudie promoter so you get everything from Moonbeam Brown to Arnold Swartz. to lead you to that big pie in the sky (but which always seems to end up that big pie in the cow field) Fortunately you have some of the best of Catholicism there and there is always hope, don’t you think? Take back your state. Catholicism is the foundation of California and conservatives need to bring that out in their campaigns,etc. It is what will unite them with the latinos.
Mine Eyes Have Seen the Gory – and it weren’t pretty.
I attended (Mon 81213) the latest travesty against the Citizens of CA by a legislative body in itself unfit to pass gas, which nonetheless has delivered some real stinkers.
The Anti-Scientific loony tunez lyrics of AB 460 (by rabidly Anti-Catholic Misandrist Tommy ‘T.P. Ammiano; D-Sodom by the Sea) passed to the full floor.
This classic Orwellian ‘Doublethink’– Forces All who take Caesars Coin in any form – to Lie about their own Gender – and the Fact All Procreation is Heterosexual – or face Tommmy TP & ‘fiends’ wrath.
460 says that CA considers Two People of the Same Sex to be deserving unlimited “infertility treatment” (apparently ranging from free Turkey Basters to Surrogate Donors & ‘Gestators’) – if they try to procreate, but fail because it is a Scientific Impossibility…
Given that All Procreation is ultimately Heterosexual (XX & XY).
AB 1403 promotes the Same type Separatist / Neo-Exterminationist Hatred of Men & Boys, Masculinity and Normal Heterosexuality – By Committee.
The ‘Committee’’ Bill (allegedly ‘Clarifying’ the ‘Turkey Baster Trio of CA Supreme Cases from 2005, regarding the “Gender Neutral” nature of the Uniform Parent Act) states:
“Father & Mother to be replaced by Parent”
“Insemination with Assisted Reproduction”
“Paternity with Parentage”
“Presumed Father with Presumed Parent”
Besides AB 115 Denying the Legal Existence of Male Fathers, SB 274 (by “Kiddie Porn King” Leno) says children have as Many Parents as a Court says – dozens and perhaps hundreds, depending on whose Court.
God bless Brad Dacus and all who work for Pacific Justice Institute. I am grateful to them….they are wonderful.
