SB 777 Referendum Gathers Incredible Number of Signatures; Announces New Phase of Campaign
Save Our Kids is excited to announce that the campaign was able to obtain more than 350,000 signatures for the SB 777 referendum before today's constitutional deadline.
"For a completely volunteer-driven campaign to obtain this number of signatures is unheard of," explained Karen England, director of the Save Our Kids campaign and executive director of Capitol Resource Family Impact. "We had to overcome incredible difficulties during our signature gathering, including the holidays, and the results are astonishing."
In order to qualify the SB 777 referendum for the 2008 ballots, the campaign needed 434,000 valid voter signatures. "While we didn't reach the threshold of required signatures, we have surprised political observers with the amazing amount of signatures we gathered in just 70 days," stated England. "It is unheard of for a volunteer-only effort to find this kind of support, especially in a state as large as California."
Because of the enormous amount of support for overturning SB 777, Save Our Kids has filed an initiative with the attorney general's office to overturn the new law.
"This initiative will give us double the amount of time to gather signatures, while accomplishing the same goal of eliminating the extreme policies of SB 777," continued England. "Many California citizens are just now finding out about SB 777 and are outraged. By filing an initiative, we will give even more citizens the opportunity to voice their anger over the passage of this radical bill."
The Save Our Kids web site will continue to serve as the online headquarters for overturning SB 777.
Good news, except for this:
1. The homosexuals won’t give up. They’ll be back. The parents will eventually burn out fighting over and over again.
2. And because of this referendum, a lot of parents will be given false hope - thinking this will make a significant long-term difference.
3. It won’t. The homosexuals will be back. The ONLY thing that will make a difference is for enough parents to pull their kids out of the public schools.
If one were going the referendum route, that would be true, but the announcement says that since they failed with the referendum they'll be going for an initiative. If that passes, the issue is done; only another initiative can overturn an initiative.

It’s not ending. Homosexuals are not giving up because they are emboldened every time public school parents fight the wind. They laugh.
Many parents got alarmed enough to remove their kids from public schools when SB 777 arrived on the scene. Guess what the state public school superintendent did?
He sent letters out to all other superintendents in CA whining that the public schools would lose money. He said they could not let that happen.
2 + 2 = 4
Success is spelled E-X-I-T.
It is not just homosexuals who laugh. It all those who fight with them to destroy the Judeo Christian culture that is the very foundation of freedom.
There is only one solution: Remove your kids immediately. Work to shut these schools down.
Ping.
my kids are in the public schools and I class my family as lucky as gay groups have tried to fly flags around town yet got told no , in the end the courts said yes so those elected made it a law saying only government and state flags can be flown
the high school won’t allow gay groups tpo be formed of course the homosexuals are taking the school to court but the town I live in is not backing down.
However I along with others have a feeling that the gays are trying to sneak their gay friends in power and thus over turn a traditional family town.
well they have an up hill fight as many of us around thses parts are not going to be taken by surprise like the town eureka was
