A California bill that aims to ban Christian books and resources which address issues of homosexuality and gender identity could pass in the California Senate as soon as late May, sources told CBN News.
Assembly Bill 2943 declares biblical books and Christian conferences dealing with biblical views on homosexuality or transgenderism as fraudulent under the state's consumer fraud statute. Ultimately, it would penalize those who share a traditional view on marriage.
"Whenever a pastor or a church or a para-church ministry holds a conference or an event or sells a book or video about overcoming same-sex desires or gender confusion, that could indeed be banned," Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, told CBN News.

9th circus court. Done deal, the socialist-democrats establish their cult religion of the state, flip the bird to Christians and the rest of America.
Actually, if you're using the First Amendment then it should absolutely stand: for the First Amendment acts specifically and explicitly on something called congress
, and the State of California has no such entity. What should be used is instead California's own Constitution —
ARTICLE I, SEC. 4.Free exercise and enjoyment of religion without discrimination or preference are guaranteed. This liberty of conscience does not excuse acts that are licentious or inconsistent with the peace or safety of the State. The Legislature shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
A person is not incompetent to be a witness or juror because of his or her opinions on religious beliefs.
ARTICLE I, SEC. 2.(a) Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press.
(b) […]
Sohhhhh, the 1st amendment is no longer valid?
“We don’t want to ban bibles”
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Are patriots who value your religious expression and free speech aware that the 14th Amendment protects you from state actors who abridge your constitutionally enumerated protections regardless if you are minority voters?
"14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
"14th Amendment, Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
H O W E V E R
Patriots also need to know that knowing your 14th Amendment protections isnt enough.
More specifically, were still stuck with a corrupt, post-17th Amendment (17A) ratification Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration that will predictably not lift a finger to exercise its 14A powers to make punitive laws to discourage state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated protections..
The remedy
Patriots need to finish the job that they started when they elected Trump president.
More specifically, patriots now need to be making sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the 2018 primary ballots, candidates who will be willing to make punitive laws to discourage abridgment of constitutionally enumerated rights by state actors.
Patriots must then pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day so that they can start making such laws.
And until the states wake up and repeal 17A, as evidenced by concerns about the integrity of the outcome of Alabama's and Pennsylvania's special elections, patriot candidates need to win elections by a large enough margin to compensate for possible deep state ballot box fraud, associated MSM scare tactics, and interference from people like Soros.
Hacking Democracy - The Hack
Aren’t most from South and Central America Christians? May not go over too well with the illegals they’re trying to coddle.
If you believe that the 14th amendment was legitimately adopted, and that the federal courts have interpreted it (the 14th) accurately, then what you are saying is not the current “law.”
Federal courts have ruled that states can not deny to any person within its jurisdiction “the equal protection of the laws”. Thus, not only can Congress not infringe on the 1st amendment, state government can't either.
God opposes homosexuality. Yet, He will allow, even invite them, to be born again.

Yeah, I know it’s Wikipedia, but in this case it is correct.
I think they hope to get around 1st amendment because the bill doesn’t ban the material out right but just the sale of the material.
As crazy as Governor Moonbeam is he has veto stuff like this in the past.
I dare them to ban the Koran.
I am sure that this also apply to Islam. /sarc.
Queer Fears induce panic

Probably.
The State is the Church.
That is the goal of communism.
We used to do a lot of business in CA but started limiting our exposure there about 5 years ago. We don’t do any business anywhere on the coast anymore...just forestry and agriculture in NorCal and the Central Valley. The coastal areas have a lot of money but are ethically bankrupt.
CA passed new legislation for professional licensing which was a pain to get. Now that we have our license, we don’t dare let it lapse. I completed our “Annual Report” last month...74 pages and two days of irrelevant busy work which I’m confident nobody even looks at. They just want us to file and pay the annual filing fee.
No. Ronald Reagan played Charlie Brown on Alien Amnesty while the Democrats, his former party (whom he should have known not to trust), played Lucy van Pelt.
RINOs like Jack Kemp and his protege, Paul Ryan, have perpetuated the betrayal.
Republicans gave California away. Period.
“I cannot begin to believe that this will survive a court challenge. If it does, it will the equivalent of the Rebs firing on Fort Sumter.”
I hear you, but consider the following:
For quite a while ‘the courts’ have cared more about being activist social justice warriors rather than respect the Constitution, the true law of the land. This includes the Supreme Court.
You may be right about this basically being the straw that breaks the camel’s back, but there have been plenty of reasons for that to happen and so far it’s business as usual.
