Call Gov. Arnold, Children's campaign says (parents oppose 'indoctrination' plans)

A California child-protection organization is lobbying state residents to call and tell Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of their concerns about two bills that have been approved by a pro-gay legislature and are awaiting the governor's decision to approve or veto.

"To be silent when 6.5 million California schoolchildren are threatened with sexual indoctrination is tantamount to being an accomplice to a crime," said a statement from the California Childrens Campaign.

Officials with the organization, which has lobbied, held rallies and raised support for a pro-family plan in the state, said a new poll noted only 15 percent of Californians vote.

"This means 15 percent of Californians control the government, and the other 85 percent are willing to accept anything the government does to them and their family. This is no way to get a good government – especially when pro-family Californians are much, much more than 15 percent of the population!"

The two bills remaining on the governor's desk are AB606 and AB1056 and "he's on the edge about them. The proof is his Sacramento phone recording currently asks your opinion on both these horrible bills," the CCF said.

The first proposal would authorize the California Superintendent of Public Instruction to arbitrarily withhold state funds from any school district that did not adequately promote the state "model policy" on transsexuality, bisexuality or homosexuality.

AB1056 would spend $250,000 to mandate "tolerance education" by promoting those alternative sexual lifestyle choices.

The governor earlier signed SB1441 which requires any school or facility that gets state funding, even if it's indirectly through a student's state grant or scholarship, to promote those alternative choices.

"People of conscience are appalled that Arnold Schwarzenegger has trampled religious freedom to satisfy hyperactive sexual activists," Randy Thomasson, chief of the CCF, said at the time.

The plan will force religious colleges either to abandon their Biblical standards on sexuality or reject students with state aid, he said.

One that the governor did veto was SB1437, which would have banned any textbook, instructional material or school-sponsored activity from "reflecting adversely" on the state's sexual smorgasbord.

"Time is running out," said the CCF. "Governor Schwarzenegger has a Sept. 30 deadline to sign or veto bills."

Karen England, executive director of the Capitol Resource Institute, said the bills "deserve his veto."

This is shocking, but it's a wake-up call. Think how much better our country could be if we could wake up the sleeping traditionalists who don't vote!

(BTW, one reason California's numbers are so astonishingly low is the high numbers of illegal aliens there.)

Call the Governor's offices

Good advice. This is probably one of the few times a politician will listen

Be sure to include the following if you speak to a live representative of the governor.

I am a conservative Republican and I will vote for the governor in November if he vetoes the following 7 bills. If he approves any of these 7 bills, I'll withhold my vote for governor.

When you call and complete the automated menu, they automatically hang up on you, not allowing you to comment on additional bills. I called back 4 times to voice my opposition to the worst of the bunch above. If you want to comment on other legislation, they will connect you to a representative (but only during normal work hours apparently).

I was anxious to give input on global warming, prescription drugs, the electoral college, and a host of others. No such luck on a weekend.

Marking your post and thread.

Just in case anyone is wondering, California Lib-Dem Educrats have been doing sexual indoctrination under such ruses as "tolerance" and "multi-culturalism" for many years. Now, they are simply trying to get that sneaky stuff into LAW. As a mandate, so they can tell objecting parents to just "shove it". Teachers Unions are sick and tired of getting outraged parents to talk to. If these bills pass, the teachers can purely say to the outraged parents: "It's not my fault, It's the law. We have to do this."
