The second number is the number of signatures needed to qualify the referendum.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Some will find encouragement in those numbers-we came close.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Others will be discouraged-with just a little more effort...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We did come close.But we should put that in perspective. Realize that some amount of signatures will always be thrown out because of errors. Ultimately we needed many more than the 504,760 to qualify the referendum. We simply ran out of time before we could get to that number.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;While we did not qualify the referendum, our efforts did not go unnoticed. We gained more than 497,000 signatures without the use of paid signature gatherers. That is unprecedented. And we did this on a small fraction of the budget traditionally required to gather that many signatures.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In emails and phone calls over the last 24 hours, two questions have dominated. The first question is answered by the numbers above. The second question is "where do we go from here?"&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;While the referendum was the best way to stop SB48 in its tracks, there are other ways for the citizens of California to respond to bad laws.

Finally with two days in a row of no mail delivery, collection points around the State were able to get a good estimate of how many signatures we have in hand.  While we expect to have a large amount arrive today and even Wednesday (the day we need to turn petitions in) it is doubtful we will get the number of signatures we need to qualify.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the last several deliveries of mail have not been what was expected and a large number of petitions have been pulled out because of errors. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;From all appearances, we would need a miracle to qualify this referendum.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But many of those close to the referendum campaign believe in miracles and want to fight until the very last minute.

Even more.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We have petition centers around the State and we will be delivering petitions where we can.  We will set up delivery points around the State for Tuesday and up until 10:30 am on Wednesday morning for completed petitions.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But we need volunteers to gather signatures and volunteers to gather more volunteers.

Уже с января 2012 года в Калифорнии начнут готовить преподавателей, которые смогут профессионально и с душой рассказывать о достижениях секс-меньшинств. Закон  СБ 48 обяжет, к примеру, учителя истории сказать, что Петр Ильич Чайковский не просто великий русский композитор, дирижер и педагог написавший известные по всему миру балеты Лебединое Озеро и Щелкунчик, а именно гомосексуальный композитор.  То есть его гениальность исходит из того, с кем он и в каких интимных отношениях находится. А самым маленьким ученикам, которым  по 4-5 лет, наверно будут объяснять, какие возможны взаимоотношения между двумя дядями и двумя тетями.  Причем СБ48 не ограничивается одним гомосексуальным извращением, будут освещать с положительной стороны и бисексуалов и людей поменявших пол, или ряженных в одежды противоположного пола. Если у вас есть дети или внуки, представьте, что вашим чистым и невинным малышам в душу будут наливать такие, не постесняюсь этого слова, помои.  Избрав очень выгодную для себя ширму борьбы с дискриминацией, гей активисты пошли самым легким путем - путь перевоспитания будущего поколения.  Ведь, если маленькому доверчивому и пытливому уму доказать, что такой стиль жизни не аномален, а напротив достоин всяческого поощрения и уважения, что такие люди очень  много дают обществу - он ведь может и поверить. Ведь дети очень верят учителям.  Они привыкли верить им во всем другом.  Гей-активисты давно пытаются доказать всему миру, что все их проблемы от того, что «гомофобные», « религиозные» родители воспитали детей не приемлющих их образ жизни.  «История должна быть честной», отметил наш губернатор Джерри Браун. Разве можно рассматривать историю с точки зрения достижений геев или гетеросексуалов? Или достижения геев более значимы? Если, как считают ученые, 1-2% населения геи, а в учебниках говорят, что 1/10 часть населения мира гомосексуальна, означает ли это, что геям нужно отдать только 1/10 учебников истории? А вдруг им будет мало? &lt;br /&gt;Беда в том, что в отличие от предыдущих гей законов касающихся образования (их уже принято 6 в Калифорнии) в этот раз родители не имеют права не пустить ребенка в школу или подписать форму, освобождающую их чадо от этого класса. Закон был так хитро составлен, что все без исключения обязаны присутствовать на этих предметах. И чем больше ребенку не приятна эта тема, тем он больше в таком классе нуждается, считают авторы закона. &lt;br /&gt;Этот закон пытались остановить еще на стадии законопроекта, пока он проходил разные комиссии и обе палаты.  Граждане Калифорнии выступали со свидетельствами на каждом слушании, но, проигнорировав их доводы политики приняли этот законопроект в Ассамблее 50-26 и в Сенате 23-14. Всего за него проголосовали 72 демократа и 1 республиканец (Nathan Fletcher – San Diego).  Затем народ стал звонить нашему губернатору, умоляя его наложить вето на этот закон, но, подписав его, он показал, что больше любит свой влиятельный гей-электорат, чем невинность детей.&lt;br /&gt;Конституция Калифорнии предусматривает способ восстановить справедливость, если народ не согласен с принятым решением своих представителей в правительстве штата.  У народа есть 90 дней со дня подписи губернатора на то, чтобы организовать референдум.  Референдум- это вето жителей штата на принятое решение нашим губернатором.  Такой референдум был написан христианской юридической компанией - Тихоокеанским Институтом Правосудия и зарегистрирован у ген. прокурора Калифорнии 22 июля .  Была основана коалиция &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;StopSB48.com&lt;/span&gt;. Это коалиция христианских организаций, родителей, студентов, учителей и других. Генеральный прокурор штата перед выдачей разрешения на циркуляцию петиции обязан дать ей официальное название. Он протянул драгоценное время, подыскивая достойное, на его взгляд, название этой петиции. Он назвал ее очень коварно - отмена не дискриминации геев в школах. Иными словами, все, кто против этого закона – желают, чтобы геев дискриминировали в школах.  Это, конечно, грубая и бессовестная ложь, но она будет серьезным подводным камнем  для сбора подписей у ничего не подозревающего населения.  Большинство Калифорнийцев ничего не слышали ни о новом законе, ни о референдуме.  Всю информацию они получат от распространителей петиции или из прессы. Какие у нас цели:&lt;br /&gt;1.Необходимо собрать 750 тысяч подписей зарегистрированных граждан Калифорнии. Обычно, нужно собрать  около миллиона подписей, потому, что каждую подпись будет проверять кабинет секретаря штата и много подписей отсеивается. К примеру недействительными оказываются подписи тех, кто переехал на новое место жительства и не перерегистрировался, или те подписи, которые не совпадают с оригиналом сохраненном в компьютере -так бывает, когда люди подписываются за других.  Бывает, люди подписываются, просто чтобы их оставили в покое, а на самом деле они даже не граждане.  Срок сдачи всех петиций для этого референдума -30 сентября. Осталось 47 дней. Это очень сжатые сроки, поэтому необходимо взяться за это дело со всяческим рвением и немедленно.  Мы подсчитали, если в Калифорнии найдется 7000 верных и жертвенных людей, взявших на себя обязательство перед Богом собрать 100 подписей - мы сможем собрать необходимое количество.  50 тысяч подписей уже собрано.&lt;br /&gt;2. В этом очень нелегком деле, будет большим подспорьем -найм профессиональных сборщиков подписей.  Это обычно обходится 2.50-3 доллара за подпись.  &lt;br /&gt;Я проведу тренинг любых волонтеров желающих принять в этом участие.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;«А кто соблазнит одного из малых сих, верующих в Меня, тому лучше было бы, если бы повесили ему жерновный камень на шею и бросили его в море». Марк 9:42&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Мы не являемся теми, кто собирается деток соблазнять в школах, но наше бездействие будет сговором с этими безбожными людьми против собственных детей. И я считаю, что мы понесем достойное наказание от Господа вместе с ними.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Притчи 24:11- «Спасай взятых на смерть, и неужели откажешься от обреченных на убиение?» &lt;/span&gt;Любой, поверивший пропаганде о безопасном гомосексуальном стиле жизни заведомо обречен на смерть.  Тот, кто не верит в это, должен посетить любую из клиник для больных СПИДОм в нашем городе. Мы просто обязаны оградить не только наших детей, но и других детей равно уязвимых для гомо-пропаганды в школах. Толкование этого стиха Библии А.Лопухина говорит -  Мудрость же владеет искусством спасать себя (ст. 10) и других, даже из крайних бедствий (ст. 11), причем устраняется, опровергается всегда возможная эгоистическая отговорка черствого сердца "я не знаю такого-то, следовательно, свободен от обязанностей в отношении к нему" - указанием на всевидящий и всеобъемлющий Промысел Божий, пред которым не оправдается никто, допускающий погибнуть своим собратьям.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-769333175410796399?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/769333175410796399/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=769333175410796399' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/769333175410796399'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/769333175410796399'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2011/08/14.html' title='Что такое СБ 48 и как с ним бороться?'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-6709939464779038612</id><published>2011-07-05T22:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-05T22:49:08.534-07:00</updated><title type='text'>'LGBT' Role Models Bill Goes to Jerry Brown</title><content type='html'>California Democrats pass SB 48, most in-your-face sexual indoctrination yet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contact Gov. Jerry Brown to urge him to veto SB 48&lt;br /&gt;You may contact Governor Jerry Brown by mail at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mailing address:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Jerry Brown&lt;br /&gt;c/o State Capitol, Suite 1173&lt;br /&gt;Sacramento, CA 95814&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phone: (916) 445-2841 &lt;br /&gt;Fax: (916) 558-3160&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sacramento, California -- A highly-controversial bill mandating that "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender" role models must be placed in history and social science textbooks has been sent to the desk of Governor Jerry Brown after passing the California State Assembly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, the Democrat-controlled Assembly, on a 49 to 25 party-line vote -- Democrats for, Republicans against -- approved SB 48 by openly homosexual state Senator Mark Leno. The bill already passed the California Senate in April.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"May this brash attack upon children's innocence finally motivate parents to remove their children from the government school system, and get them into the safe havens of church schooling and homeschooling," said Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, a leading statewide pro-family organization promoting moral virtues for the common good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This sexual brainwashing bill would mandate that children as young as 6 years old be told falsehoods -- that homosexuality is biological, when it isn't, or healthy, when it's not," Thomasson said. (Source: "Not Born This Way")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Parents don't send their sons and daughters to school to learn to admire homosexuality, bisexuality, cross-dressing, "sex change" operations, homosexual "marriages," or to support legal persecution of people who disagree," Thomasson said. "There's already a raft of school sexual indoctrination laws on the books. Impressionable children are already being sexual indoctrinated, but SB 48 would be the most in-your-face brainwashing yet. We urge Governor Brown to respect parents, remember basic academics, and basic family values, and veto this bad bill when it reaches his desk."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"True history focuses on the accomplishments of people -- it doesn't talk about what they did in the bedroom," Thomasson said. "Sadly, SB 48 prohibits teachers from providing students with the facts about these lifestyles. Male homosexuality has the largest transmitter of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, along with higher cancer rates and earlier deaths, but it will be illegal for teachers to teach children these facts to protect their health and their lives."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If SB 48 becomes law:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Textbooks and instructional materials must positively promote "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans" as "role" models.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Children as young as 6 years old will be taught to admire homosexuality, same-sex "marriages," bisexuality, and transsexuality (cross-dressing and "sex change" operations).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Children will be taught to support the political activism of "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Questioning" (LGBTIQ) political groups, as the bill requires "particular emphasis on portraying the role of these groups in contemporary society."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Teachers will be made to positively portray homosexuality, same-sex "marriages," bisexuality, and transsexuality, because to be silent can bring the charge of "reflecting adversely" or "promoting a discriminatory bias."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. School boards will be required to select textbooks and other instructional materials that positively portray "LGBT" lifestyles, because to be silent on these subjects opens them up to charges of "reflecting adversely" or "promoting a discriminatory bias."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Parents will not be notified, nor will they be able to exempt their children, from this new core curriculum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"California government schools are no longer morally safe for impressionable children," Thomasson said. "Because of the raft of sexual indoctrination laws already in force, which promote homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality under the guise of 'discrimination' and 'harassment,' the social engineers are already having their way with more than six million boys and girls, with or without SB 48. That's why we strongly urge loving parents to rescue their children by permanently removing them from government schools and placing them in the safe havens of church schools or homeschooling."

It requires both involvement and oversight by parents in four areas:  mental health screenings and testing of students; facilitation of confidential medical services for minors; instruction in comprehensive sex education; and surveys, tests and questionnaires that affect familial privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pacific Justice Institute has sent a letter of official support for AB 1348 to the legislative committee considering the bill. The letter points to numerous studies confirming that parental involvement is crucial to students' academic achievement and social adjustment. PJI Chief Counsel Kevin Snider, who wrote the letter and has studied the bill, commented, "We believe this bill carefully balances the concerns we are hearing from educators seeking greater parental involvement at school with parents who want to avoid being blindsided by instruction or services that may clash with their values. For this reason, we are optimistic that this bill can attract bipartisan support."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pacific Justice Institute has long advocated for increased parental notification and consent statutes, while strongly encouraging parents to build positive relationships with teachers and school officials by volunteering in the classroom and serving on school committees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents should call their legislators to urge support for AB 1348.

"However, our elected leaders should eliminate tens of billions of dollars annually in systemic waste, fraud, duplication, and inefficiency, instead of coddling wealthy government unions and slashing basic government functions."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Brown and Democrat state legislators had sought to continue to the historic tax hikes of 2009 on purchases (increasing the sales tax by 1.00%), income (up 0.25%), and car registration (from 0.65% to 1.15%). They were also seeking to continue dramatically reducing the child tax credit from $309 to $99 per child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Tax Foundation, California's state and local tax burden of 11.8% of income is well above the national average of 9.8%; California's sales tax is highest in the nation; California's top individual income tax rate is third-highest in the nation; California's business tax climate ranks 49th in the nation; and California's corporate income tax rate is the highest among Western states.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-1569494558569305197?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/1569494558569305197/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=1569494558569305197' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/1569494558569305197'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/1569494558569305197'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2011/03/defeat-of-tax-hike-scheme-big-victory.html' title='Defeat of tax-hike scheme a big victory for California families'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-5054673863643718371</id><published>2011-03-31T01:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-31T01:20:23.262-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Student files suit to defend his right to bring Bible to school.</title><content type='html'>San Diego, CA - A former student at Gateway East High School of the Grossmont Union High School District has filed suit against GUHSD, saying he was disciplined and suspended for sharing his faith with fellow students and for bringing his Bible to school. The student is represented by Pacific Justice Institute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conflict for Kenneth Dominguez began when he returned from Christmas break in January 2010 and began telling his fellow students about his Christian faith. On several occasions he was reprimanded for doing so and eventually he was told not to bring his Bible to school. An administrator told him that he could not share his Christian faith with fellow students or bring his Bible to school because of separation of church and state. When he continued to discuss his faith and bring his Bible to school he was given a 2 day suspension on February 18, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The school gave him a form known as a "Corrective Education Referral Form," which had the following notations:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;      "Student was told to stop preaching at school. Student continued after being warned several times."&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;      "Student will not bring Bible to school."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attorney Michael J.

The 10-member committee today passed SB 48 on a party-line vote: 6 Democrats for, 3 Republicans against, with one Democrat absent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Parents don’t want and children don’t need ‘LGBTIQ’ role models in school,” said Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, a leading statewide pro-family, pro-child organization. “SB 48 micromanages public schools by forcing teachers, administrators, local school boards, textbooks, and instructional materials to promote a gaggle of sexual lifestyles that disturb parents and confuse kids. This costly state mandate targets children for sexual brainwashing, behind the backs of parents, teaching boys and girls to admire those who engage in homosexual, bisexual, or transsexual behavior.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If SB 48 becomes law:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Textbooks and instructional materials must positively promote “lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans” as “role” models.&lt;br /&gt;2. Children as young as 6 years old will be taught to admire homosexuality, same-sex “marriages,” bisexuality, and transsexuality (sex-change operations).&lt;br /&gt;3. Children will be taught to support the political activism of “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Questioning” (LGBTIQ) political groups, as the bill requires “particular emphasis on portraying the role of these groups in contemporary society.”&lt;br /&gt;4. Teachers will be made to positively portray homosexuality, same-sex “marriages,” bisexuality, and transsexuality (sex-changes operations), because to be silent can bring the charge of “reflecting adversely.”&lt;br /&gt;5. School boards will be required to select textbooks and other instructional materials that positively portray sex-change operations, same-sex “marriages,” and more, because to be silent on these subjects opens them up to charges of “reflecting adversely.”&lt;br /&gt;6. Parents will not be notified, nor will they be able to exempt their children, from this new core curriculum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SaveCalifornia.com’s letter sent to Senate Education Committee members&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If the Democrats pass this perverse bill into law with Jerry Brown’s signature, it will be California’s 7th statewide sexual indoctrination law indoctrinating impressionable children,” Thomasson said. “There is no biological basis for homosexuality, and the overwhelming majority of HIV transmissions are the result of homosexual and bisexual behavior. To protect their kids from a raft of lies, parents have more reason than ever to leave behind government schools for the safe havens of homeschooling and church schools.” SaveCalifornia.com maintains RescueYourChild.com to help parents with solutions.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-2524852739008840548?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/2524852739008840548/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=2524852739008840548' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/2524852739008840548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/2524852739008840548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2011/03/california-bill-making-children-admire.html' title='California bill making children admire &apos;gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender&apos; role models passes Democrat committee'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-5988896330406165171</id><published>2011-03-17T11:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-17T11:31:30.163-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Assault on Marriage Continues in CA Courts But Survives Legislative Challenge in MD</title><content type='html'>San Francisco, CA - Final briefs have been filed by opponents of Proposition 8 seeking to lift the stay that was imposed by the Ninth Circuit. The stay was put in place after Judge Vaughn Walker ruled the traditional definition of marriage unconstitutional. In what can best be described as an unorthodox legal argument, an attorney for the homosexual plaintiffs, former solicitor general Theodore Olson, cites as authority for lifting the stay the decision by the U.S. Dept. of Justice not to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in litigation in other courts. "I'm aware of no other case in which a lawyer has cited a letter by the Department of Justice to Congress as persuasive legal authority," said Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute. The Ninth Circuit has retained jurisdiction over the matter while it has sent the case to the California Supreme Court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ninth Circuit sent the Prop 8 case to the California Supreme Court to determine whether the official proponents "possess a particularized interest in...[Prop 8's] validity or the authority to assert the State's interest… to defend the constitutionality of the initiative... [on appeal] when the public officials charged with that duty refuse to do so." The State's high court agreed to answer that question and ordered briefing by the parties and set a schedule for amicus (friend of the court) briefs. Yesterday the official proponents of Prop 8 filed their opening brief arguing that historically California courts have permitted official initiative proponents to defend matters appearing on the ballot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The California Supreme Court has found that this is particularly necessary when governmental entities have "underlying opposition" to an initiative or "will not [defend]... with vigor."  At oral argument, Judges Reinhart and Smith appeared to be particularly concerned by the failure of the Governor and the Attorney General to file a notice of appeal and defend the case in court. This was reflected in the 16 page order certifying the legal question to the California Supreme Court.  Reinhart and Smith questioned the attorneys during oral argument about the petition filed by PJI lawyers in the California Supreme Court to force then Governor Schwarzeneggar and Attorney General Brown to file a notice of appeal. PJI will continue to raise crucial legal issues by filing an amicus brief in the State's Supreme Court in support of the proponents of Prop 8.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another front, the Maryland legislature shocked gay rights proponents by declining to pass a bill legalizing same-sex marriage late last Friday. In a procedural move, the bill was sent to the Judiciary Committee where it was effectively killed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-5988896330406165171?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/5988896330406165171/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=5988896330406165171' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/5988896330406165171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/5988896330406165171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2011/03/assault-on-marriage-continues-in-ca.html' title='Assault on Marriage Continues in CA Courts But Survives Legislative Challenge in MD'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-933279980131965734</id><published>2011-03-10T20:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-10T20:15:06.415-08:00</updated><title type='text'>ALERT: Don’t let Jerry Brown’s tax-hike scheme pass this weekend</title><content type='html'>So far, your calls and emails to at-risk Republicans have held off placing the most massive continuation of tax hikes upon families in state history on California’s ballot. But now, I’m asking you to call and email again. Because the Democrat legislative leaders are trying to push through a tax-hike deal this weekend or Monday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SaveCalifornia.com is urging you to call Republicans right now. Because if GOP state legislators are united in their opposition to place tax increases on the ballot, tax hikes can’t and won’t happen. The Democrat state legislators, who are hopeless tax-and-spend addicts, won’t get their way unless two Republicans in the Assembly and two in the Senate sell out and support Jerry Brown’s tax scheme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is placing a continuation of massive tax increases on the ballot is a huge risk? As the last statewide election demonstrated, California contains more voters who are Democrats,  who just don’t understand why higher taxes on families’ purchases, income, and motor vehicles are harmful. Especially when most of the messages on TV, radio, newspapers, and mailers will be frighten-you-silly lies sponsored by the wealthy, self-centered government unions. Don’t let this happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you felt financially squeezed lately? In February 2009, California families’ taxes went up nearly $1,000 a year for two years. Meanwhile, gas prices rose from under $2 per gallon in early 2009 to nearly $4 today. And now, the $12 BILLION tax hike that Jerry Brown and the Democrats want on the ballot would cost the average family another $1,000. Because of California’s wasteful state government, and a White House and Congress that won’t allow sufficient drilling of oil in American land and sea, you ARE being squeezed — majorly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am especially concerned how this financial oppression is harming family time between spouses and with their children, tempting husbands and wives into money squabbles and divorce, deceiving people of faith to stop giving to God, and causing worried parents to remove their children from Christian schools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DO YOUR PART TODAY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a vote expected as soon as this weekend, please drop everything and email and call these 7 at-risk Republican state legislators. Tell them “No more taxes and fees. OPPOSE placing Jerry Brown’s tax scheme on the ballot!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a staffer gives you trouble because you’re not “in our district,” just say “Please give my message to the member (or senator). He is deciding whether to take more money from me and my family!” Also, please forward this alert to your friends via email, Facebook and Twitter to ask them to do their parts.

This battle is not over. Don't allow Congress to give America another perverse Christmas gift. Here's the latest information and action steps:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Thank you to everyone who called the U.S. Senate to oppose the homosexualization of the military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you did, you were part of the hard-fought victory to defeat a crazy, immoral proposal to allow same-sex "activities" in military showers, barracks, mess halls, and in the field (more). Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid's attempt to bring the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" as part of the Defense Reauthorization Bill failed by three votes. However, if Democrat Blanche Lincoln has been in the building, it would likely have failed by only two votes. With Democrats in charge of both houses final month before the new Congress, two votes is a margin is too close for comfort, so keep reading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. There is a chance of a new bill passing by Dec. 17. This "standalone" bill deals only with homosexualizing the military and is not part of the Defense Reauthorization Bill:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Associated Press: Collins and Sen. Joe Lieberman are now pushing standalone legislation they insist could be considered before the Senate's target adjournment next week. Its prospects are uncertain, although Reid indicated he was open to bringing it up before the holiday break. If passed, the bill still would require House approval, with time growing short. "We've got at least 60 votes, so we're going to keep up the fight," said Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut. "But we're not kidding ourselves, this is not going to be easy." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Huffington Post: Speaking the day after a defense authorization bill carrying a DADT repeal failed to pass the Senate by a 57-40 vote, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs affirmed that the president would support efforts, championed by Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), to consider overturning the ban on gays in the military alone. Encouraging repeal proponents who, at this juncture, cling to hope's last threads, Gibbs suggested that this latest vehicle had better chance of passage than those prior, owing to a procedural path that could avoid a 60-vote minimum. "The president remains committed to seeing this repeal done before Congress leaves town this year," Gibbs said at an off-camera briefing. "[There were] 57 votes yesterday, and frankly, you can see how you get even more. And I think there could be a legislative vehicle that starts in the House as a stand alone and withstands procedural hurdles and puts the Senate on the record on an up or down vote for the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell." So there are ways to avoid the filibuster? "I think there are ways," Gibbs replied. Those ways, however, aren't entirely clear. The White House did not immediately return follow-up requests for clarification, and sources on the Hill sounded skeptical when pressed. "It's not quite true," said a leadership aide. "The House would pass and send it over as a message from the House. It would still be subject to a filibuster on the tail end, however." If the 60-vote threshold must indeed be met, the White House remained confident that it could be. But the straightforward math is not entirely clear. Democrats have one clear-cut GOP vote, in the form of the bill's co-sponsor: Collins. But it would likely need at least two more for cloture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Washington Times: Senators pushing to change the law say there is a chance to try again in the remaining days of the lame-duck session by introducing a stand-alone bill. "I am 100 percent supportive of the stand-alone bill," said Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, Michigan Democrat. But with the year winding down and with the Senate still facing several other key votes, including the proposed extension of Bush-era tax cuts, such an scenario appears a long shot. Another shot at repeal could be achieved only if Congress stays in session beyond its self-imposed Dec. 17 adjournment. More likely is that the fight moves to the courts, where a federal judge has already struck down the policy, though his ruling has been stayed while the matter is under appeal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. This battle will be won by whoever persists. Act today. Don't let the smaller number of homosexual activists make more phone calls than pro-family citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ACTION: Urge 8 waffling Republican senators and 3 Democrat senators to "Oppose repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take action Friday, Saturday and Monday.

A closer reading of the fine print in the newly released Pentagon survey shows our troops answered as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q45.   If you had a leader whom you believed was gay or lesbian, 9% positive, 91% negative or mixed effect on unit's performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q68c.  85% of Marine Combat Arms, 75% of Army Combat Arms, 64% overall say Negative, Very Negative, or Mixed impact on unit trust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q90.   29% would take no action if assigned open showers.  71% would shower at other times, complain to leadership or chaplains, don't know or do "something else" [including violence.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q81.   24% will leave the military or think about leaving sooner than planned.  [One half million troops will QUIT early, destroying national security.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q80.   6% will positively recommend service to others after repeal.  94% feel negative, mixed, no effect, or don't know about recommending military service to others.  [Destroying recruiting efforts.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q66.   If open homosexuality impacts combat performance, is the impact....9% positive, 91% negative or mixed impact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q71.  11% feel positive or very positive about open homosexuality in field environment or out at sea.  70% negative or mixed.  19% no effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q73.   5% say repeal would positively boost morale.  41% say negative or mixed impact morale.

"These views should not be considered lightly, especially considering how much combat our force is facing," McCain said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Army, Marine Chiefs Cast Doubt on Homosexuals Serving Openly in U.S. Military&lt;br /&gt;CNSNews.com, Dec. 3, 2010&lt;br /&gt;The top uniformed officers of the Army and the Marines say letting gays serve openly in the military at a time of war would be divisive and difficult, sharply challenging a new Pentagon study that calculates the risk as low. "If the law is changed, successfully implementing repeal and assimilating openly homosexual Marines into the tightly woven fabric of our combat units has strong potential for disruption at the small unit level, as it will no doubt divert leadership attention away from an almost singular focus of preparing units for combat," the Marine commandant, Gen. James Amos, said in remarks prepared for delivery to the Senate Armed Services Committee.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-6955541063031138745?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/6955541063031138745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=6955541063031138745' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/6955541063031138745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/6955541063031138745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2010/12/battle-for-homosexualizing-military-not.html' title='Battle for homosexualizing military not over'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-1927416362926113622</id><published>2010-11-30T18:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-30T18:28:23.290-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Will Prop. 8 die on a technicality?</title><content type='html'>It doesn't look good for the Prop. 8 federal court appeal in San Francisco on Dec. 6. The "randomly chosen" three-judge panel of the infamously liberal Ninth Circuit was announced Monday. The judges were originally put on the bench by Presidents Carter, Clinton, and G.W. Bush. Here's the low-down from SCOTUSblog:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Ninth Circuit Court on Monday released the names of the three Circuit judges who will hear next Monday the constitutional case over California’s Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage. The senior judge on the panel will be Judge Stephen R. Reinhardt, a former Los Angeles lawyer who is known widely as perhaps the most liberal judge on the federal courts. Another judge with a reputation mainly as a liberal, Michael Daly Hawkins, is on the panel; he is a former Arizona lawyer and prosecutor. The third member of the panel will be N. Randy Smith, a former Idaho lawyer and state judge.  &lt;br /&gt;Let me tell you about Stephen Reinhardt, the ultimate judicial activist: In 2009, he wrote an opinion calling the federal Defense of Marriage Act "unconstitutional"-- despite the U.S. Constitution being silent on marriage and homosexuality. In 2007, Reinhardt ruled that partial-birth abortions are a constitutional guarantee. And in 2005, in a sex survey dispute, he ruled parents of elementary-age children in public schools give up any moral objections to their child's education:    &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In the last two decades, Reinhardt has repeatedly ruled against the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Also, in 1996, he authored an opinion claiming that physician-assisted suicide was somehow "constitutional." Reinhardt was nominated in 1980 by Jimmy Carter. He is married to Ramona Ripston, former executive director of the ACLU of Southern California. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;As for the second judge, who is described as "liberal on social questions," Michael Daly Hawkins, a Democrat and a Clinton appointee, gave a wide-ranging interview in 2003, in which he came across as a mushy moderate: "I think of myself as being entirely moderate in all things, but others might say otherwise," he said. "My judicial philosophy is really pretty simple: people involved in the legal process should be treated fairly and judges should decide cases on the merits." Note he said nothing about sticking with the written words of the U.S. Constitution!&lt;br /&gt;The third judge on the Dec. 6 panel is a likely constitutionalist. Idaho-based Judge Norman Randy Smith is one of the court's newest members and a Republican appointee of former President George W. Bush. Smith was confirmed in 2007 after being nominated by President George W. Bush. Born in Logan, Utah, Smith graduated from the Mormon-based Brigham Young University, as well as from the university's law school.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So, if you ask me, I expect a 2-1 loss, with Prop. 8 ruled dead on a technicality. Remember that, in August, homosexual U.S. Judge Vaughn Walker refused to recognized any "standing" for the Prop. 8 proponents. The judge found it convenient to say so, because in an unprecedented action, both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown were derelict of duty, refusing to uphold the law (Prop. 8). If the Ninth Circuit panel agrees with this nonsense, it would be more than unconstitutional blindness -- it would be malice. It takes tremendous effort to ignore the California Constitution and the record of the November 2008 vote of the people. Both said and still say, "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The only practical hope I have is that Reinhardt is the most overturned judge in the United States. The fact that he's on this panel could paint a big bulls-eye on him for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who, while being pro-homosexuality is also mostly pro-law-and-order. If the Ninth Circuit refuses to recognize "standing" for the Prop. 8 proponents, Kennedy and the four other mostly constitutional judges (Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito) on the high court could. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;SaveCalifornia.com is helping to stand up for marriage as the foundation of family and a essential role model for the next generation. In September, SaveCalifornia.com filed a well-done brief in the Prop. 8 appeal under our official name, Campaign for Children and Families. Expertly researched and written by our friends at Liberty Counsel, our brief argues that homosexuality cannot be considered for increased protection, like race, because it is (1) difficult to define, (2) impossible to classify, (3) is not immutable, (4) is subject to change, and (5) does not meet the legal criteria for increased constitutional protection. Our brief reminds the judges that the bulk of social science research overwhelmingly confirms that children do best with dual gender parents – a dad and a mom. We also demonstrate that gender definitely matters to the well-being of children. Finally, we explain that homosexuality presents serious physical, emotional, mental, and other health-related risks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday, Dec. 6, you can watch the two-hour hearing on C-SPAN, beginning at 10 a.m. PST.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.&lt;br /&gt;10th Amendment of the United States Constitution&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Haven't you read the Scriptures?" Jesus replied. "They record that from the beginning 'God made them male and female.' And he said, 'This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.'

Моя цель донести информацию о предстоящих выборах, а также о кандидатах, которые баллотируются в местные, штатные и федеральные органы власти, чтобы Вы были осведомлены о каждом из них и 2го ноября сделали информированный выбор для себя. Организация Preserve Liberty проделала огромную работу опросив в письменном виде всех кандидатов по интересующим нам вопросам. В основном это были вопросы этики, морали, образования и сохранения наших религиозных и гражданских свобод. Всем кандидатам был дан месячный срок, чтобы ответить на эти вопросы. Так как многие понимали, что письменные ответы обрекают их на ответственность за свои слова, некоторые решили не отвечать на них вообще, чтобы либо не оттолкнуть от себя несведущего избирателя, либо не компрометировать себя перед либеральными спонсорами. Все собранные ответы были отсортированы и размещены в виде таблицы, которая находится по этой ссылке. www.preserveliberty.com&lt;br /&gt;Таблица была также переведена на русский язык. В настоящее время мы ищем волонтеров, которые смогли бы распечатать ее и распространить в своих церквах, на работах или в колледже. Если у Вас есть такая возможность, пожалуйста позвоните по телефону (916)616-5563. Среди нас есть пожилые люди, у которых нет доступа к интернету. Давайте поможем им!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Внимание: Кандидат на вице губернатора, которого нет в вашем списке-Lieutenant Governor &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Karen Barton England&lt;/span&gt; Ee имя нужно будет вписать от руки в строке &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Lieutenant Governor&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;write in&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Вот рекомендации по пропозициям от организации &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;SaveCalifornia.com&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;19 NO&lt;/span&gt;  Legalizes marijuana possession, smoking, growing, transporting, selling&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;20 YES&lt;/span&gt;  Strips state legislators of power to draw congressional districts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;21 NO&lt;/span&gt;  Raises car tax on California drivers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;22 YES&lt;/span&gt;  Restricts state government from using or redirecting local government funds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;23 YES&lt;/span&gt;  Suspends oppressive, job-killing, unscientific “man-made global warming” law&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;24 NO&lt;/span&gt;  Raises taxes on businesses, punishing success, raising prices, killing jobs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;25 NO &lt;/span&gt; Eliminates 2/3rds legislative protection from bad budgets and higher taxes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;26 YES &lt;/span&gt; Requires 2/3rds citizen vote to increase state and local “fees” and “charges”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;27 NO&lt;/span&gt;  Returns power to California Legislature to draw all legislative district lines&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Детальные рекомендации от этой христианской организации находятся по следующей ссылке:&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;http://savecalifornia.com/election-center.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                         &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt; McClintock on the Propositions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Prop 19: When Worlds Collide.  NO.&lt;/span&gt;   If this simply allowed people to cultivate and smoke marijuana themselves and left the rest of us alone, it would be worth considering.   But it goes much further and provides that "no person shall be discriminated against or denied any right or privilege" for pot use, inviting a lawsuit every time an employer tries to require a drug test, for example.  If you want to smoke pot in your own world, I don't care.  But don't bring it into mine.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Prop 20: Congressional Redistricting. YES.&lt;/span&gt;   This finishes the work we began in 2008 to get redistricting decisions away from self-interested state legislators and into the hands of a bi-partisan commission.  The original reform omitted Congressional districts – this simply adds them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prop 21: Highway Robbery.  NO.&lt;/span&gt;  Right now, state park users pay a nominal fee that helps pay for upkeep, assuring that those who use our state parks help pay for them.  This measure ends the day-user fee and shifts the cost to the rest of us by imposing an $18 per car tax increase whether we use the parks or not.   Stealing money from highway travelers used to be called "highway robbery."  Now it's called "Proposition 21."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prop 22: Hands Off Our Money. YES.&lt;/span&gt;   This takes a giant leap toward restoring local government independence and protecting our transportation taxes by prohibiting state raids on local and transportation funds.  Local governments are hardly paragons of virtue, but local tax revenues should remain local. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prop 23:  Liberation from the Environmental Left.  YES. &lt;/span&gt;  In 2006, Sacramento's rocket-scientists enacted AB 32, imposing draconian restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions (yes, that's the stuff you exhale).  They promised to save the planet from "global warming" and open a cornucopia of new jobs.  Since then, California's unemployment rate has shot far beyond the national unemployment rate and the earth has continued to warm and cool as it has for billions of years.  Prop 23 merely holds the Environmental Left to its promise: it suspends AB 32 until unemployment stabilizes at or below its pre-AB 32 level. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prop 24: Because Taxes Just Aren't High Enough.  NO.&lt;/span&gt;   This is a predictable entry by the public employee unions to impose an additional $1.7 billion tax on businesses.  The problem, of course, is that businesses don't pay business taxes – we do.  Business taxes can only be paid in three ways: by us as consumers (through higher prices), by us as employees (through lower wages) and by us as investors (through lower earnings on our 401(k)'s).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Prop 25: Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire.  NO.&lt;/span&gt;   This changes the 2/3 vote requirement for the state budget to a simple majority – a reform I have long supported.  Experience has shown that the current 2/3 vote requirement for the budget does not restrain spending and it utterly blurs accountability.  But such a reform MUST repair the 2/3 vote requirement for all tax increases and restore constitutional spending and borrowing limits.  Without these provisions, Prop. 25 would be a disaster for taxpayers and a recipe for bankruptcy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prop 26: &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Calling a Tax a Tax.  YES&lt;/span&gt;.  Under the infamous Sinclair Paint decision, virtually any tax may be increased by majority vote as long as it is called a "fee," gutting the 2/3 vote requirement in the state constitution to raise taxes.  Prop. 26 rescinds Sinclair Paint, restores the Constitution, and calls a tax a tax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prop 27: OMG.  NO.  Want to go back to the days when politicians drew their own district lines, literally choosing their own voters?  This will get us there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Информация о кандидатах на пост судей.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Election 2010:     &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;VOTE   NO &lt;/span&gt; -   3 California Supreme Court Candidates                  by Craig Huey    &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;www.ElectionForum.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Мы &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;отвергаем&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;всех трех кандидатов&lt;/span&gt; на пост судьи по следующим причинам:все три кандидата голосовали &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;против&lt;/span&gt; традиционного брака, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;за&lt;/span&gt; аборты,&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;против&lt;/span&gt;родительского оповещения, когда их несовершеннолетним дочерям предлагают аборты, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;за&lt;/span&gt; ущемление прав собственника и бизнесмена.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most overlooked—yet important—votes you will cast this November.    On the November 2 ballot, you will be voting for 3 California Supreme Court candidates.   You will be asked to vote “yes” or “no.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;California Supreme Court Chief Justice Ron George, who spearheaded denying Californians their choice in voting for traditional marriage, ran from this race in light of his disregard for the voters.    So, a new candidate, Tani Cantil-Sakauye, is running for Chief Justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The California Supreme Court has enormous power…and your vote is vital in directing the future of very important decisions impacting every Californian both now and for generations to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a brief analysis. For more specific information, see our website ElectionForum.org.   You’ll get the truth from a Christian perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Associate Justice Carlos Moreno&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Justice Moreno has been on the Court since 2001, appointed by former Governor Gray Davis. He votes are very liberal. His favorite Supreme Court Judge is liberal David Souter. Moreno was on Obama’s short list for replacing Souter.  He was recommended by Sen. Dianne Feinstein.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreno not only voted in the 4-3 decision to overturn traditional marriage with Proposition 23, he was the only “NO” vote in the 6-1 decision that agreed Proposition 8 vote was constitutional. In the past, he has voted against parental consent, against religious rights and against business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ming William Chin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ming William Chin was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1996 by Gov. Pete Wilson. Since he’s been on the bench, he has voted to overturn parental consent, consistent with his pro-abortion views.   He shot down Governor Wilson’s attempt to privatize highway jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He voted against Christian contentious objections and for trampling religious liberty. He did vote in favor of traditional marriage and voted to uphold California’s anti-affirmative action law. Despite a few good votes, he holds a liberal social stands and inconsistency on business/property rights issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Tani Cantil-Sakauye&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Schwarzenegger, Jerry Brown and Ron George as a committee approved the appointment to the Court of Tani Cantil-Sakauye as our new California Supreme Court Chief Justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is 50 years old and an active member of the Japanese United Methodist Church in Sacramento, a church with a liberal pastor. She is considered a “moderate” Republican, leaning liberal on social issues. The liberal Sandra Day O’Connor was her favorite Supreme Court judge. When the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage, she performed a same-sex marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In cases brought before her, she has sided with the nurses union over legitimate cost concerns regarding school district positions, and, she was soft on a teen’s violent treatment to a girlfriend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She did uphold California’s prohibition against affirmative action and religious free speech.  Her point of view is a mixed bag; she has not demonstrated a dependable, consistent, philosophical position.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-675292259856527044?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/675292259856527044/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=675292259856527044' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/675292259856527044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/675292259856527044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2010/10/blog-post_13.html' title='К выборам!!!'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-5615719722426582752</id><published>2010-10-13T15:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-13T15:20:01.544-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Рекомендации на выборы</title><content type='html'>НАШ ХРИСТИАНСКИЙ ДОЛГ ИЗБИРАТЬ ЛИДЕРОВ В СООТВЕТСТВИИ С БИБЛЕЙСКИМИ СТАНДАРТАМИ&lt;br /&gt;Марк А. Матта (www.PreserveLiberty.com) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Разделяете ли Вы иудейско-христианские убеждения? Имеете ли Вы Библейское мировоззрение и верите, что Божье Слово, Библия, является истинным и полным, и представляет собой главный авторитет для принятия решений? Если Вы ответили «ДА» на эти вопросы, то существует только один ряд стандартов, которыми Вы можете руководствоваться выборе лидеров, за которых Вы будете голосовать, а именно Библейские стандарты.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;За эти годы я общался с тысячами верующих, разделяющих иудейские или христианские убеждения, и приходил в шок от тех критериев, которыми люди с Библейским, по их словам, мировоззрением, руководствуются при выборе лидеров. Хотя многие из этих людей используют Библейские критерии при выборе супруга/супруги, в решениях относительно финансов, в шутках, в выборе друзей и фильмов, удивительное число этих людей полностью забывают Библейские принципы, как только они оказываются в кабинке для голосования. Это один из видов «мировоззренческой шизофрении» (раздвоение сознания), при котором люди руководствуются Библейскими критериями в большинстве решений, однако полностью отказываются от Библейских стандартов у избирательной урны.&lt;br /&gt;Многие голосуют согласно семейным традициям, профсоюзной или политической принадлежности. Некоторые голосуют за наиболее привлекательного для них кандидата. Некоторые голосуют, исходя из соображений расы, цвета кожи, пола или этнической принадлежности. Но как «люди Книги» мы призваны избирать «богобоязненных лидеров» (Исх. 18;21) в соответствии с Библейскими стандартами, независимо от наших традиций, партийной, профсоюзной, национальной принадлежности, расы, цвета кожи, пола или возраста.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Для начала нам следует задать себе вопрос: какую позицию занимают кандидаты по отношению к защите жизни нерожденных детей и брака (важным нравственным вопросам наших дней)?&lt;br /&gt;И вот тут на помощь приходят местные справочники избирателя, предоставляющие непредвзятую информацию о ценностях кандидатов, которую не найти в других изданиях и которая повышает уровень подотчетности кандидатов. &lt;br /&gt;Я надеюсь, что люди иудейского или христианского вероисповедания будут руководствоваться Библейскими принципами во всех сферах жизни, включая молитву о начальствующих (1 Тим. 2 гл.) и избрание чтущих Бога лидеров (Исх. 18:21). Я молюсь о том, чтобы пасторы, священники и раввины побуждали нас регистрироваться в качестве избирателей и участвовать в выборах, а также опираться исключительно на Библейские критерии в выборе начальствующих. Это непредвзятые, способствующие единству, наполненные любовью Библейские, нравственные принципы, благодаря которым благословения распространяются на всех, когда мы избираем чтущих Бога мужчин и женщин в местные органы власти, а также в правительство штата и в федеральное правительство, чтобы они принимали законы, служащие благословением для наших семей, церквей, районов и бизнесов.&lt;br /&gt;Так да поднимется иудейско-христианское сообщество для непрестанной молитвы о наших лидерах и стране и для активного, в духе любви, участия в поддержке Библейских ценностей и чтущих Бога лидеров, которые будут защищать жизнь, брак и Библейский фундамент, на котором построена Америка и который является нашим источником свободы для евангелизации. История ясно свидетельствует, что там, где большинство населения чтит Иисуса и Библейские понятия, страна и ее народ переживают реальные благословения (Пс. 32:12).&lt;br /&gt;За дополнительной информацией по поводу непрестанной молитвы и совместной работы, город за городом, по сохранению Библейских и конституционных основ Америки (а также свободы, которую они нам дают) обращайтесь по ссылке в интернете: www.PreserveLiberty.com.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;«Общественная осведомленность»** – &lt;br /&gt;Местный справочник избирателя (округ Сакраменто) &lt;br /&gt;Arcohe Union School District &lt;br /&gt;(объединенный школьный округ Аркохи)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Кандидат 1.

Schwarzenegger case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you may not know, however, is that since that time, nearly 30 other “friends of the court” amicus briefs have also been filed, representing almost 100 organizations and individuals who believe Prop 8 should be upheld.  In response to our elected officials’ dereliction of duty and the grievous error of an appointed federal judge’s decision to strike down the measure, many of those briefs strongly join in the defense of Prop 8 and supply reasoned content on matters such as religious liberty, parenting, and gender orientation.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A brief filed by the Attorneys General of 13 states (Alaska, Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming) confirms that responsible procreation is a vital state interest that is advanced by the traditional definition of marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professor Robert George of Princeton University, a presidential appointee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights and former Judicial Fellow at the U.S. Supreme Court, addresses the relationship between law and morality in his brief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The brief submitted by a broad coalition of major religious groups illustrates the legitimate and salutary role that religious groups have played in the political formulation of our nation’s laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American College of Pediatricians’ brief makes clear and obvious that the optimal environment for raising a child is the child’s married biological parents.&lt;br /&gt;And, finally, the brief submitted by Concerned Women for America clearly demonstrates the political power of gays and lesbians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, support for our cause, for our very right to have our votes for Prop 8 count, is widespread throughout California and the nation.  Yet we continue to be forced to defend our time-honored belief in traditional marriage against legal attacks by our well-financed opponents who not only want to change the very definition of marriage but to also create a new federal “right” altogether!  We need your support as we keep fighting for your rights to the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for all you have done, for what you are doing, and for your future efforts as we continue the work for the protection of marriage between a man and a woman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Prentice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volunteer Chairman, ProtectMarriage.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-9067148318852563482?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/9067148318852563482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=9067148318852563482' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/9067148318852563482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/9067148318852563482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2010/10/prop-8-friends-of-court-have-their-say.html' title='Prop 8 “Friends of the Court” Have Their Say'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-5994721892627835034</id><published>2010-10-02T22:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-02T22:55:47.262-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Arnold's last laugh against children and families</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Signs pro-LGBTQ counseling with no parent consent, virtual pot legalization&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SAVECALIFORNIA.COM NEWS RELEASE&lt;br /&gt;October 1, 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schwarzenegger's swan song against children and families&lt;br /&gt;Signs pro-LGBTQ counseling with no parent consent, virtual pot legalization&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sacramento, California -- SaveCalifornia.com, a leading pro-family, pro-child organization, is saddened and greatly concerned for children that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his last week of bill signing in his final term in office, has chosen to damage family values and endanger impressionable boys and girls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Wednesday and Thursday, Schwarzenegger signed:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• SB 543 by San Francisco Democrat State Senator Mark Leno to allow kindergarten through high school students at government schools to be taken off-campus for counseling sessions, without parental permission or involvement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Homosexual activists are very happy, because this will result in students who have been molested or otherwise sexually confused being told the unscientific falsehood that they were 'born gay,' and then being trained to become homosexual activists themselves," SaveCalifornia.com President Randy Thomasson said. "This is more reason than ever for concerned parents to rescue their children from government school indoctrination by enrolling them in home school or a solid church school. Visit RescueYourChild.com to learn how."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• SB 1449, again by San Francisco Democrat State Senator Mark Leno, will reduce marijuana possession to an infraction, with no arrest, no booking, no court appearance, and no offer of drug rehab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This virtual legalization of marijuana definitely sends the wrong message to teenagers and young adults," Thomasson said. "It invites youth to become addicted to mind-altering pot because there's not much hassle and no public stigma and no rehab if they're caught. Californians opposed to Prop. 19's full-blown marijuana legalization must redouble their efforts through MarijuanaHarmsFamilies.com."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"While we're glad the Governor vetoed SB 906, which would have deceptively aided homosexual 'marriage' legalization on a future ballot, that's a drop in the bucket compared to the great damage he's inflicted upon marriage, the California Constitution, and the voters by refusing to appeal the judicial-activist ruling that struck down Prop. 8," Thomasson said. "For the swan song of Arnold Schwarzenegger, he's singing tunes loved by anti-family liberals in San Francisco and West Hollywood but has daggers in his eyes for the moral hearts of parents and grandparents. By signing radical laws that take children down a dark path, Schwarzenegger has again proven that a liberal Republican is ultimately not much different from a liberal Democrat."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-5994721892627835034?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/5994721892627835034/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=5994721892627835034' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/5994721892627835034'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/5994721892627835034'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2010/10/arnolds-last-laugh-against-children-and.html' title='Arnold&apos;s last laugh against children and families'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-5046026687480301956</id><published>2010-10-02T22:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-02T22:52:35.141-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Prop. 8 Judge To Retire</title><content type='html'>San Francisco, CA - Federal judge Vaughn Walker, who has attracted national attention for his decision last month striking down Prop. 8 and lambasting supporters of traditional marriage, has announced that he will retire from the federal bench in February.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The court announcement, issued late yesterday, notes that Walker's 7-year term as Chief Judge for the Northern District of California began September 1, 2004, which means he is leaving the post 8 months early. After stepping down as Chief Judge, Walker will remain on the court until sometime in February of next year.  He then plans to return to the private sector, where he was a partner in a large firm before spending 21 years on the federal bench. Walker will be succeeded as Chief Judge by current District Judge James Ware.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PJI president Brad Dacus commented, "This is a significant development in the Prop. 8 case, which is likely to be eventually sent back down to the District Court after the Ninth Circuit and Supreme Court consider it. Chief Judge Walker's retirement cannot come soon enough for millions of California voters, who he called irrational for their support of traditional marriage. We call on President Obama to nominate a replacement for Chief Judge Walker who will respect the people of California and refuse to legislate from the bench."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-5046026687480301956?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/5046026687480301956/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=5046026687480301956' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/5046026687480301956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/5046026687480301956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2010/10/prop-8-judge-to-retire.html' title='Prop. 8 Judge To Retire'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-3161244100475713475</id><published>2010-06-23T22:17:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-23T22:17:49.734-07:00</updated><title type='text'>URGENT PRAYER FOR KYRGYZSTAN</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Friend,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I received the following email written at 8:49 am today from a Russian&lt;br /&gt; living in Osh, Kyrgyzstan. It is a cry for help and a plea&lt;br /&gt;to get the word out about what is really happening in Southern&lt;br /&gt;Kyrgyzstan. I am sending this out to ask for your urgent prayers for&lt;br /&gt;this desperate situation...  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are in the center of a war in Osh, Kyrgyzstan. It is impossible to&lt;br /&gt;imagine the horror of the situation here!! The news is only reporting&lt;br /&gt;a small portion of what is actually going on. It is ethnic cleansing&lt;br /&gt;if you can call it that. Whole blocks of Uzbek homes have been torched&lt;br /&gt;and burned. Women and children are being mercilessly killed. Many&lt;br /&gt;bodies and injured people are lying in the streets without anyone to&lt;br /&gt;help. Kyrgyz youth under the influence of alcohol and drugs are&lt;br /&gt;running wild in the streets killing anyone and burning whatever lies&lt;br /&gt;in their paths. This ethnic tension (between Kyrgyz and Uzbeks) has&lt;br /&gt;existed under the surface for many years but recently has been stirred&lt;br /&gt;up for political purposes. Because of this, it appears that&lt;br /&gt;authorities are doing nothing to stop the conflict and are silent. It&lt;br /&gt;seems that the whole situation was planned out in advance and that no&lt;br /&gt;one planned to put a stop to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"One of my relatives went out today at&lt;br /&gt;great risk to get groceries for his household. On his way he saw an&lt;br /&gt;old man badly injured who was lying in the street. He wanted to help&lt;br /&gt;him and turned him over onto his back. Immediately a group of young&lt;br /&gt;men ran up and starting kicking the old man fiercely. My relative&lt;br /&gt;heard one of these youths say, "He's Kyrgyz" Another said, "No&lt;br /&gt;he's Uzbek, let's set him on fire." When my relative returned&lt;br /&gt;the old man lay burned to death. Officially the government has issued&lt;br /&gt;an order to shoot to kill anyone with a weapon but in reality no one&lt;br /&gt;is carrying out this order. These horrendous acts are continuing to&lt;br /&gt;take place. Police and soldiers are patrolling the streets but doing&lt;br /&gt;nothing to stop the violence. Last night bandits broke into an army&lt;br /&gt;storage facility where weapons, helicopters, tanks, etc were stored.&lt;br /&gt;We couldn't imagine where these simple people had obtained so many&lt;br /&gt;weapons before and now they have even more weapons, plus army&lt;br /&gt;equipment! On top of all of this there is a shortage of food as the&lt;br /&gt;stores have been vandalized. When our food supply runs out we will go&lt;br /&gt;hungry. The news is reporting that humanitarian aid is getting in but&lt;br /&gt;the supply is very limited. Not long ago bread was given out but for&lt;br /&gt;some reason they refused to give it to the Russians. We are not&lt;br /&gt;concerned about humanitarian aid, we simply want to live!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some news reports are saying that things are getting more stable but the truth&lt;br /&gt;is it is getting worse. My goal in writing this is to the get word out&lt;br /&gt;to the world about what is actually happening here. We are afraid that&lt;br /&gt;we will be forgotten and alone in this crisis with no one coming to&lt;br /&gt;our aid. Presently they are not coming against us as Russians but we&lt;br /&gt;believe it is only a matter of time before they turn on us. People&lt;br /&gt;have "tasted blood" with no consequences and will not stop the&lt;br /&gt;killing. We are living in a state of fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please send this information out to as many people as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is our urgent plea for help."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for praying!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-3161244100475713475?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/3161244100475713475/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=3161244100475713475' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/3161244100475713475'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/3161244100475713475'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2010/06/urgent-prayer-for-kyrgyzstan.html' title='URGENT PRAYER FOR KYRGYZSTAN'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-3722909831116409481</id><published>2010-06-02T20:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-02T20:14:18.169-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Первичные Выборы-८ июня (рекомендации)</title><content type='html'>8 июня пройдут первичные выборы в местные, штатные и федеральные органы власти.  Если Вы не зарегистрировались на эти выборы, 24 мая был последний день регистрации на эти выборы.  Новая регистрация необходима: если Вы новый гражданин, переехали на новое место жительства (после последних выборов) или вышли замуж и поменяли фамилию.  Однако, если вы были ранее зарегистрированы в графстве Сакраменто, и поменяли место жительства, но остались в этом же графстве (то есть не переехали в Йоло, Пласер или какое другое графство), Вы можете поехать по старому месту жительства и там проголосовать в привычном для Вас избирательном участке.  Второй вариант выхода из сложившейся ситуации- прийти на новый избирательный участок и Вам предложат «провизионал баллот» (provisional ballot).  Вас, затем, попросят  зарегистрироваться на следующие выборы прямо на участке.  Принять участие в голосовании Вы можете уже сейчас по адресу 700 65-я стрит, комната "А" с 8 часов утра до 5 часов вечера в будние дни.  В день выборов, центральный избирательный участок и все остальные участки открыты с 7 часов утра до 8 часов вечера. По закону, работодатель  обязан отпустить Вас с работы для участия в выборах.   Если Вас не будет в городе в день выборов или Вам удобно голосовать по почте, Вы можете заказать бюллетень почтой не позднее 5 часов вечера 1го июня.  Голосовать по почте очень удобно, особенно престарелым и больным людям.  Вы заполняете пришедший на Ваш домашний адрес бюллетень и опускаете его в свой почтовый ящик. К тому же, если английский у вас слабый, друзья или члены вашей семьи смогут помочь вам заполнить ваш бюллетень.  За редким исключением, работники на избирательских участках не разрешают помощь в переводе на избирательном участке.  Если вы голосуете почтой, не забудьте послать свой бюллетень во время, чтобы центральный офис получил его 8го июня. По городу почта обычно идет 2 дня. Если Вы зарегистрировались, но до сих пор НЕ получили бюллетень, позвоните по следующим телефонам: (916) 876-5597 или (916)875-6463. Адрес вашего участка указан на оборотной стороне  обложки бюллетеня, в левом верхнем углу.  Там жирным голубым шрифтом со стрелкой написано polling place location, а под ним адрес участка.  Вы также можете найти эту информацию, позвонив по следующему телефону: (916)875-6500 или на веб странице www.elections.saccounty.net. Информация о кандидатах и пропозициях расположена на следующих христианских сайтах: www.Savecalifornia.com и www.Preserveliberty.com (ищите слово election), также в печатном виде по адресу: 2310 Van Ufford Lane, район Кармайкл. &lt;br /&gt;Рекомендации христианских организаций основанные на ответах кандидатов:&lt;br /&gt;Governor-Steve Poizner (не поддерживает финансирование абортов деньгами налогоплательщиков, поддерживает защиту границы штата от нелегальных иммигрантов со стороны Мексики, не поддерживает усыновление гей парами и поддерживает консервативное определение брака между мужчиной и женщиной)&lt;br /&gt;Lt.

Mark Leno's bill encouraging public schools and educational institutions to conduct commemorative exercises May 22. Thomasson suggested in a podcast that the gay community would use the day to 'sexually indoctrinate' school-age children."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SaveCalifornia.com has produced a web page and podcast to alert and direct parents, and has built a site called RescueYourChild.com to help parents permanently remove their children from the imploding government school system. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the 1982 biography, "The Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk," by Randy Shilts, a reputable reporter with the San Francisco Chronicle, Milk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Was a sexual predator of teens -- "Harvey always had a penchant for young waifs with substance abuse problems." (page 180)&lt;br /&gt;    * Advocated multiple sexual relationships at the same time -- "There's no reason why you can't love more than one person at a time. You don't have to love them all the same. You love some less, love some more..." (page 237-238)&lt;br /&gt;    * Publicly lied for years about his military career in order to get ahead -- "Maybe people will read it, feel sorry for me, and then vote for me" (page 78-79)&lt;br /&gt;    * Aggressively advocated in 1978 that cult leader Jim Jones retain custody of a boy, John Stoen, who Jones poisoned later that same year (see Harvey Milk's letter to President Jimmy Carter calling Jim Jones "a man of the highest character" and a "loving, protective parent"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The biography of Harvey Milk shows he was a teen predator, sexual anarchist, public liar and a dishonorable character that doesn't deserve a minute of positive attention in schools," said SaveCalifornia.com President Randy Thomasson. "Parents need to realize Harvey Milk Day isn't about 'tolerance,' 'equality' or 'hope' - it's about desensitizing children as young as kindergarten to support the unhealthy and unnatural homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda of a notorious gay activist named Harvey Milk. Mothers and fathers should quiz teachers and principals and, if necessary, yank their God-given children out of public schools to protect them from this brainwashing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harvey Milk Day for children in California public schools was signed into law last year by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger after being approved by nearly all of the Democrats and former Republican senator Abel Maldonado. Children at participating schools will perform "suitable commemorative exercises," likely between May 17 and 28.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What could Harvey Milk Day look like in public schools? The "suitable commemorative exercises," remembering the "life," "accomplishments," and "contributions" of Harvey Milk are undefined in the new law, and could be anything that Milk believed in. Exercises could include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Pro-Harvey Milk reading and writing assignments and tests&lt;br /&gt;    * Making children watch the sanitized and part-fiction film "Milk"&lt;br /&gt;    * School assemblies teaching children that homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality are good and natural and maybe even for them&lt;br /&gt;    * Having children participate in mock gay-pride parades and mock gay weddings.&lt;br /&gt;    * In sum, children could be taught just about anything school officials or individual teachers think up (and no, there's no state law prohibiting the promotion of homosexual, bisexual, or transsexual lifestyles to impressionable children).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the SaveCalifornia.com website: "May 22, Harvey Milk's birthday, falls on a Saturday this year, but the danger period is May 17 to 28. It's up to teachers, principals, and school districts whether to promote Harvey Milk's homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda to impressionable children. And Harvey Milk Day exercises and activities will occur behind parents' backs because the law does not require teachers or school officials to seek your permission or even notify you. This is why parents have to quiz teachers and principals to see whether Harvey Milk will be honored in classrooms, in a school assembly, through a school-wide announcement, etc."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-1932948157601952976?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/1932948157601952976/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=1932948157601952976' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/1932948157601952976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/1932948157601952976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2010/05/parents-protect-your-kids-from-harvey.html' title='Parents, protect your kids from Harvey Milk&apos;s sexual indoctrination  No parental permission for &quot;Harvey Milk&quot; activities in K-12 public schools'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-3935083580308715842</id><published>2010-05-17T21:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-17T21:49:43.952-07:00</updated><title type='text'>California Pro-Family Voter Information</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Election date: Tuesday, June 8, 2010 (voting by mail has already begun)&lt;br /&gt;Last day to apply for vote-by-mail ballot: June 1, 2010&lt;br /&gt;13  YES  No property tax increase for earthquake-retrofitting of old buildings&lt;br /&gt;14  NO  “Jungle primary” denying Republicans and Democrats their own nominees&lt;br /&gt;15  NO  Government funding of political campaigns&lt;br /&gt;16  YES  Require 2/3rds voter approval for local government-run electricity&lt;br /&gt;17  YES  Allows auto insurers to offer new customers “continuous coverage” discount&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DID YOU KNOW...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many voter guides sent to you in the mail contain “paid endorsements” by the candidates themselves!

This policy was viewed as a disincentive by California legislators who unanimously placed Prop. 13 on the ballot. This proposition forever exempts commercial property owners from higher property tax assessment on the basis of retrofitting masonry buildings to survive earthquakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why we urge you to vote YES on Prop. 13: Current law financially punishes property owners who do the right thing and reinforce old masonry buildings. Passing Prop. 13 will protect property owners’ wallets and restores basic fairness by exempting these property owners from higher taxes. The result will be more buildings that survive the next big earthquake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prop. 14 NO&lt;br /&gt;“Jungle primary” denying Republican voters Republican nominees and denying Democrat voters Democrat nominees&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Prop. 14 would do: Prop. 14 eliminates the party primary system and replaces it with a single “jungle primary” ballot (like Louisiana has) for primary elections for most state and congressional offices. The top two vote-getters on the primary ballot would advance to the general election. There would still be partisan primary elections for presidential candidates and political party offices. Prop. 14 was placed on the ballot in exchange for the Feb. 2009 vote of former state Senator Abel Maldonado in favor of increasing the state sales, income, and car tax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why we urge you to vote NO on Prop. 14: This measure denies choice to voters by allowing general election ballots with no Democrat or Republican candidates. It also allows mischief, for example, by permitting a liberal Republican to get a large bloc of Democrats to vote for him in the primary, beating a conservative Republican who would have been nominated if only Republicans were in the primary voting pool. It will work the same with Democrats, although we believe conservative Republican voters will be denied representatives more than liberal Democrat voters will. More deception will occur when existing Democrat or Republican office holders utilize Prop. 14’s “No Party Preference” designation in both the primary and general elections. While passage of Prop. 14 might technically result in more conservative Democrat officeholders, it will mostly likely deplete the number of conservative Republicans in public office, if past experiments with an “open primary” are any indicator. Think Prop. 14’s “jungle primary” system will get rid of incumbents? Currently, only two states use “top-two” elections. In 2008, Washington State had 139 races, but only one incumbent lost a primary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prop. 15 NO&lt;br /&gt;Government funding of candidates for public office&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Prop. 15 would do: Establishes a new candidate fundraising system where candidates for California Secretary of State can qualify to receive “base funding” and “matching funds” from the state government in exchange for limiting their private fundraising, participating in debates, and submitting campaign expenditure records to the state. This new program would purportedly be funded by increasing lobbyists’ annual registration fees by 2,800%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why we urge you to vote NO on Prop. 15: Government funding of political campaigns is not the purpose of government, and opens the door to abuse. Prop. 15 wouldn’t prevent these tax-funded Secretary of State candidates from raising other funds from lobbyists and special interest groups. The measure specifically allows these tax-funded candidates to raise money for “separate accounts” to pay for officeholder expenses, legal defense fees and inaugural parties. And it probably allows these tax-funded candidates to benefit from independent expenditures, another potential loophole. What’s more, if the weren’t enough revenue raised from increased lobbyist fees, this proposition allows the state general fund to be raided to make up the difference and send that money to candidates. Finally, Prop. 15 allows the California Legislature to expand government funding of campaigns to every state campaign, including those of incumbent politicians. Bottom line, Prop. 15 is the proverbial “camel’s nose under the tent” that sets the stage for incumbent politicians and their big-government “farm team” of candidates to dip their hand deep in the public trough and make off with state treasury funds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;California voters have consistently rejected taxpayer-funded campaign financing. In 2006, 74% of voters opposed Prop. 89. In 2000, two-thirds of voters rejected public campaign financing when they defeated Prop. 25. They should say “no” again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prop. 16 YES&lt;br /&gt;Require 2/3rds voter approval for local government-run electricity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Prop. 16 would do: This measure makes it harder for local governments to start up electricity entities which local residents are responsible to pay for. PG&amp;E, the state’s largest electricity and natural gas provider is regulated by the state government. However, PG&amp;E was shocked when locally elected officials of the City of San Francisco and the County of Marin decided to set up an electricity municipality of their own, cutting out PG&amp;E. The mammoth utility therefore went to the ballot with Prop. 16 to propose that a two-thirds voter approval is needed before local governments get into the electricity business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why we urge you to vote YES on Prop. 16: We were initially very skeptical of Prop. 16 due to the self-serving interest of the very liberal Pacific Gas &amp; Electric utility (services most of Northern, Central and Coastal California) and because Prop. 16 appears to squelch competition. Yet once we researched it, we discovered that Prop. 16 DOES NOT affect private energy companies or lessen the hope of cheaper private electricity providers being allowed in the future (indeed, it indirectly encourages it). We remembered that local government usually provides worse service and higher prices, and we were alarmed to learn that local governments can form a new monopoly that effectively shuts out private electricity providers. And we remembered that we want private sector solutions most of all. After all, you don’t want government-run gas stations, do you? We get closer to the goal of privatization by passing Prop. 16, which not only serves PG&amp;E’s interests but serves the best long-term interests of average consumers. We believe the best choice right now is to pass Prop. 16 to make it harder for governments to be electricity providers, which will keep open the door to cheaper, better managed private energy suppliers in the future. While it’s not good to have hugely-regulated, almost-monopolistic utilities like PG&amp;E, it’s even worse to have government-run electricity, because new electrical utilities run by cities or counties will likely increase ratepayers’ costs faster and more than PG&amp;E would. Remember, PG&amp;E’s prices are still regulated by the Public Utilities Commission, but prices of local government electrical municipalities are not. If you support voter rights but don’t have a problem with the government running formerly private sector entities, you’ll still want to vote for Prop. 16 because it increases voter power by requiring a two-thirds vote threshold before local governments can take over the important role of electricity provider.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prop. 17 YES&lt;br /&gt;Allows auto insurance companies to offer “continuous coverage” discounts to new policy holders&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Prop. 17 would do: This measure deletes a small part of the state law that currently prohibits automobile insurance companies from providing “continuous coverage” to new customers. This prohibition was a strange part of Prop. 103, which was narrowly passed in 1988 to establish a number of insurance regulations). Even Democrats and Republicans in the Legislature agreed with removing the ban several years ago, but the courts struck that down, ruling only the voters can amend Prop. 103. That’s how simple and narrowly focused Prop. 17 is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why we urge you to vote YES on Prop. 17: If you have been a long-time customer of an automobile insurance company and want to keep your “continuous coverage” discount, passing Prop. 17 will mean the opportunity for a deeper discount when you change insurance companies. In addition to financial freedom, Prop. 17 promises a little bit better government since will also roll back a little bit of anti-free market government regulation. Why is Mercury Insurance, one of the smaller California insurance companies, funding Prop. 17? Probably because they think they can win new customers, and we think that’s just fine. Let’s open up more competition among private insurers, because competition ultimately benefits consumers the most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional detailed election info on SaveCalifornia.com website&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-3935083580308715842?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/3935083580308715842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=3935083580308715842' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/3935083580308715842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/3935083580308715842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2010/05/california-pro-family-voter-information.html' title='California Pro-Family Voter Information'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-1621478292906718961</id><published>2010-03-03T00:12:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-03T00:12:43.187-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Your help is needed today to oppose a deceptive bill in Sacramento that would pave the way to overturn Prop. 8.</title><content type='html'>SB 906 is by San Francisco homosexual activist and liberal Democrat state senator Mark Leno. The Legislature's biggest proponent of unnatural, homosexual "marriages," Leno is now pretending to be an advocate for churches that oppose redefining marriage. SB 906 is sponsored by the homosexual activists at Equality California and the liberal, Bible-reinterpreting California Council of Churches IMPACT arm. Who's kidding whom?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leno's bill would state that no clergy member can "be required to solemnize a marriage that is contrary to the tenets of his or her faith. Any refusal to solemnize a marriage under this subdivision shall not affect the tax exempt status of any entity." Sounds good? It's not -- no, not at all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Remember that pastors can already choose whether or not to marry a couple. For example, pastors have refused to marry heterosexual couples who oppose clear church teaching about fornication and being equally yoked.&lt;br /&gt;    * Therefore, as long as there's a First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing the "free exercise" of religion, pastors will not be forced to officiate marriages against their will.&lt;br /&gt;    * What's more, all bona fide churches are tax exempt in the eyes of the Internal Revenue Service. Let's put fears to rest once and for all: Since 1954, no church has ever lost its tax-exempt status for endorsing or opposing political candidates. Likewise, churches and pastors have the freedom under the First Amendment to refuse to perform homosexual "marriages," even if these false marriages were someday legalized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why is Mark Leno pushing SB 906? He and the homosexual activist schemers at Equality California are planning to put a constitutional amendment legalizing unnatural, homosexual "marriages" on either the 2012 or 2014 ballot. They dream about overturning Prop. 8. SB 906 is a big step forward toward their dream and our nightmare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oppose the SB 906 deception. Email Sacramento now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If SB 906 passes and is signed into law, the homosexual activists will crow to everyone that homosexual "marriages" do not threaten religious freedom. But that isn't true. Althrough bona fide churches are exempt from the oppression of homosexual "marriages" in California or any other state, non-church religious nonprofits and moral businesspeople are certainly not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider that, if Prop. 8 were overturned and same-sex "marriages" were legalized once again, wedding phototographers could be forced shoot homosexual "marriages," and other moral people in the wedding business -- caterers, restaurants, hotels, wedding planners, etc. -- could also be forced to support these counterfeit marriages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's more, non-church religious nonprofits, even non-church religious nonprofit organizations, could be pressured to allow homosexual "marriages" on their property. This happened with homosexual "civil unions" in New Jersey in 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if Prop. 8 were overturned, children in California government schools would definitely be taught to honor homosexual "marriages." Why? Because state law requires children in sex education classes to be taught "respect for marriage." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oppose the SB 906 deception. Email Sacramento now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faithful are the wounds of a friend,&lt;br /&gt;But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.&lt;br /&gt; Proverbs 27:6 NKJV&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-1621478292906718961?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/1621478292906718961/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=1621478292906718961' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/1621478292906718961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/1621478292906718961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2010/03/your-help-is-needed-today-to-oppose.html' title='Your help is needed today to oppose a deceptive bill in Sacramento that would pave the way to overturn Prop. 8.'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-1021739478237641992</id><published>2010-03-03T00:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-03T00:07:21.364-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Political Powerlessness in Action</title><content type='html'>You may recall from one of my earlier e-mails that the plaintiffs’ lawyers, in their bid to overturn Prop 8, asserted during the Perry v Schwarzenegger federal trial that homosexuals are “politically powerless.” They tried to make the case that this alleged political disadvantage is so extreme that it must be corrected by providing homosexuals special protection under the United States Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When our team of able legal experts questioned the plaintiffs’ witnesses on this matter, they were forced to acknowledge that the “gay agenda” has a bevy of esteemed and active elected officials in their stable of support, including both California U.S. Senators, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Governor, the current, openly homosexual California Assembly Speaker, several openly homosexual state senators and/or assembly members, the current mayors of California’s largest cities and the state’s Attorney General.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By that measure alone, it is difficult to accept the notion that homosexuals are a politically powerless lot. Let’s not be naïve, the homosexual lobby holds powerful sway over what goes on in the halls of our state Capitol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further, last Friday was the final day lawmakers could introduce legislation in the current session. And guess what? California’s largest homosexual advocacy group, Equality California, sponsored three bills to further advance their agenda, one of which would eliminate what they consider a barrier to legalizing same-sex marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senate Bill 906 was introduced by openly-gay Senator Mark Leno, who has carried the gay lobby’s water since he was elected.  It removes from current law any obligation by clergy to “marry” same-sex partners and prevents their refusal from having any negative implications on a synagogue or church’s tax-exempt status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While “divorcing” religious marriage from civil marriage, this bill further exemplifies just how cunning the homosexual lobby can be.  In fact, much can be read into Senator Leno’s comment in the Bay Area Reporter when he said religious entities “have no business interfering with the fundamental right of everyone's access to marriage."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Equality California may promote this bill as nothing more than a way to clarify the issue for people who are “confused about the difference between civil marriage and religious marriage,” but what they are really after is a way – any way – to invalidate the votes of 7 million Californians who voted to keep marriage between a man and a woman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parsing words the way they are with SB 906 is just another clear example of how powerful the homosexual lobby is in exerting its political influence on the rest of society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another note, Friday was a big day for our legal team in the Perry v Schwarzenegger case.  After weeks of work following the conclusion of the evidentiary portion of the trial, our team submitted our post-trial briefings to Judge Vaughn Walker. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We appreciate all of your prayers and financial support throughout these trial proceedings. This is just the first step in a long legal battle to preserve traditional marriage. We are now waiting for Judge Vaughn Walker to announce the date for closing arguments and we will have much work to do for that step in the journey as well. We ask for your continued support through both prayer and financial sacrifice during this time as we move closer toward the completion of the district court trial and then on to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will keep you informed as we learn more from Judge Walker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God Bless you,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Prentice, Executive Director&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-1021739478237641992?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/1021739478237641992/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=1021739478237641992' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/1021739478237641992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/1021739478237641992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2010/03/political-powerlessness-in-action.html' title='Political Powerlessness in Action'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-8789234722335491755</id><published>2010-02-17T15:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-17T15:14:22.616-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Today is Day 1 of 40 Days for Life</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THIS JUST IN TODAY, FEB. 17, FROM 40 DAYS FOR LIFE: In Riverside, California, the 40 Days for Life kickoff rally took the form of a Jericho march -- 250 people marched around the Planned Parenthood facility, praying for an end to abortion. The excellent turnout is only part of the good news. "Before we even began, a baby was saved!" said Pam, one of the local coordinators in Riverside. Two of the participants met a mother of four who was arriving for an abortion. "They prayed with her and the Holy Spirit came upon her and there were many tears," said Pam. "She made a decision for life!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there were baby puppies being killed on certain days every week at a house on your street, everyone who knew about it would be bothered. Most people would publicly and energically call for this killing to be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now something much, much worse is being done. Human babies are being regularly and systematically slaughtered in many major cities in America -- through surgical or chemical abortions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These human babies have their own heartbeat, their own DNA. They are developing human beings created in the image of God. They are completely innocent, and deserve life, not death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're pro-life, SaveCalifornia.com is calling on you to do more than talk or vote. This week, we want you to stand with other pro-lifers outside an abortion clinic near you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most effective pro-life ministries in America today is 40 Days for Life. It's 40 days of prayerful vigil outside abortion clinics. You come for an hour or more and stand with others as a true-to-God witness of the intrinsic value of unborn babies. It's 40 days of a visible pro-life presence outside abortion killing centers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The result? Babies are saved. Since 2007, 40 Days for Life activities have resulted in:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;• 300,000+ people and 9,500+ churches standing and praying at abortion clinics&lt;br /&gt;• A documented 2,168 lives spared from death by abortion&lt;br /&gt;• 27 abortion clinic employees have quit their jobs and left the abortion industry&lt;br /&gt;• 5 abortion clinics have completely shut down&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why participate with 40 Days for Life for an hour or more?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. You will do perhaps the best you can to save babies and help desperate women&lt;br /&gt;2. You will grow in character as you become pro-life in action not only in word&lt;br /&gt;3. You will pray more than ever to ask for God's help to end abortion&lt;br /&gt;4.

But, it is a dispute over comments by Mayor Osby Davis, that is now making headlines.  A November 20 New York Times column quoted the Mayor as saying of gay people, "They're committing sin and that sin will keep them out of heaven…. But you don't hate the person.  You hate the sin that they commit." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This statement has led to calls for the Mayor's resignation, demands that an openly gay person be appointed to the Vallejo Human Relations Commission, and that June be declared LGBT Pride Month in Vallejo.  All of this is said to be the necessary consequence of what many are citing as an impermissible breach of the separation of church and state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are monitoring the situation very closely," said Kevin Snider, chief counsel to California based Pacific Justice Institute.  "While it may be unwise for an elected official to discuss his religious beliefs with a New York Times reporter" Snider continued, "it certainly is not illegal.  It is troubling that so many believe that there is such a restriction on protected speech."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pacific Justice Institute is also concerned about the numerous attacks aimed at the Vallejo religious community showing up in letters to newspapers, in emails and during public forums at City Council meetings.  According to Snider, "Public disagreement with church views on moral issues is to be expected, but the heated rhetoric and constant accusations of ‘hate’ is a little over the top." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A loose coalition of Vallejo pastors and lay people known as the Vallejo Faith Organization has made it clear that they will defend the right of even elected officials to speak about religious and moral issues.  Showing up early to a recent City Council meeting they took the opportunity to pray.  Their opponents have decried this as an illegal prayer meeting and have urged them to keep their prayers and their views on sexuality to themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The hypocrisy is pretty thick," said Snider.  "Some are asking tha t Vallejo formally celebrate their views on sexuality while punishing the Mayor for stating his views on sexuality.  They seem to be saying, 'we're out of the closet, now Christians need to go into the closet'". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No individual should be forced out of office due to their Christianity and beliefs in the Bible," said Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute. "We will oppose all attempts towards such anti-religious lynching," Dacus continued. At a recent City Council meeting, a member of the Vallejo Faith Organization suggested that some community members would benefit from taking a course teaching sensitivity for those who have strongly held religious or moral beliefs.  "PJI is ready to provide this kind of sensitivity training without charge just as soon as these individuals recognize the obvious need," Dacus said.&lt;br /&gt;Contact: President Brad Dacus (916) 857-6900&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-8170829127744350634?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/8170829127744350634/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=8170829127744350634' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/8170829127744350634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/8170829127744350634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/12/bay-area-mayor-asked-to-resign-over.html' title='Bay Area Mayor Asked to Resign Over Religious Comments'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-2625067825878927066</id><published>2009-12-11T17:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-11T17:53:42.122-08:00</updated><title type='text'>State Senator Tom Harman exposes the truth:  Justice in California is not swift.</title><content type='html'>"Take the infamous California serial killer, Richard Ramirez, aka the Night Stalker.  Ramirez was caught in 1985 and sentenced to die in 1989.  He murdered 13 people and has recently been implicated in additional killings.  Where is he now, 20 years later?  Comfortably living in San Quentin Prison with a Cadillac health plan and a long, healthy future ahead of him.  His first trial took four years due to a seemingly endless series of appeals and Ramirez has yet to finish the mandatory appeals process for execution."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have other killers on death row going on 30 years.  In Virginia and Texas it is rare that a killer is on death row more than eight years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The polls show that the people of California are giving up on the justice system as well.  "The poll also indicates a sharp drop in the number of people who believe in the death penaltys ability to deter crime, from 74 percent in 1989 down to 44 percent in 2009. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Death penalty foes wrongly point to these numbers as further indication that capitol punishment is unpopular and should be abolished.  What these numbers may actually reflect is the deep frustration Californians feel about the states inability to carry out the will of the people - versus the narrow, extreme-liberal agenda of some in our leadership."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our economy is in shambles.  The deficit and unemployment is rising.  Our roads and schools are in disarray. Judges with bodyguards want to create a crime wave and murderers get better treatment than hard working families.&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-2625067825878927066?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/2625067825878927066/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=2625067825878927066' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/2625067825878927066'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/2625067825878927066'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/12/state-senator-tom-harman-exposes-truth.html' title='State Senator Tom Harman exposes the truth:  Justice in California is not swift.'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-5090635055742205616</id><published>2009-12-11T17:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-11T17:51:21.241-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Senate rejects opportunity to protect the preborn</title><content type='html'>On Tuesday, the Hatch-Nelson amendment--which would have prohibited the use of federal funds to pay for abortions in the government-run health care plan--failed by a vote of 54-45 in the Senate. That means, despite the outcry of concerned citizens across the country, federal funds will be used to pay for abortions under the Senate's polarizing version of health care reform. Senators have ignored their constituents in order to further their own agenda and pass health care reform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although we were not surprised by the Senate's rejection of the Hatch-Nelson amendment, the ramifications of this vote are far-reaching for pro-life and pro-family citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Health Care Debate Continues&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This debate is far from over.

Their new effort aims to expose manipulation by Planned Parenthood counselors intended to pressure women into having abortions, or at the very least, provide dishonest information to support false rationalizations for the procedure. In this clip from the Appleton, Wisconsin clinic, a counselor tells the woman that whats growing inside her uterus isnt a baby at all, or anything like that and the doctor agrees:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In the undercover video, when the two women ask a Planned Parenthood counselor if the pregnant womans 10-week-old unborn child has a heartbeat, the counselor emphasizes heart tones, and answers, Heart beat is when the fetus is active in the uteruscan survivewhich is about seventeen or eighteen weeks. On the contrary, embryologists agree that the heartbeat begins around 3 weeks. Wisconsin informed consent law requires that women receive medically accurate information before undergoing an abortion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(see the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIXHrusvMDw&amp;feature=player_embedded#) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The counselor then says, A fetus is whats in the uterus right now. That is not a baby. Dr. Polhaska, the abortion doctor, insists, Its not a baby at this stage or anything like that. Polhaska also states that having an abortion will be much safer than having a baby, warning, You know, women die having babies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The investigation is organized by Live Action, a nonprofit student group. Lila Rose, the 21-year-old UCLA student and Live Action president, says medical lies and manipulative counseling are routine at Planned Parenthood, the nations largest abortion chain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    They will do or say anything in order to sell more abortions to more women, whether it is covering up sexual abuse or lying to women about medical facts, says Rose. Our team has visited dozens of Planned Parenthood clinics undercover. Planned Parenthood, while claiming to support patient self-determination, operates with an abortion-first mentality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The explanation of heart tones is particularly dishonest. The counselor says it cant be a heartbeat because the baby clump of cells isnt viable, but that it becomes a heartbeat at 17-18 weeks.  But a child isnt viable at that point, either.  It does come closer to corresponding with the legal limitations of Planned Parenthoods abortion services, however.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for a fetus not being anything like a baby, well, thats hardly a shocking statement coming from PP, but it does demonstrate the depths of deception to which theyre prepared to plunge to rake in that abortion cash.  Of course its a baby growing inside of the uterus, one with its own DNA and independent biological functions that start within minutes of conception.  Unlike global warming, the science on human reproduction actually is settled.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-6408617550673145589?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/6408617550673145589/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=6408617550673145589' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/6408617550673145589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/6408617550673145589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/12/investigation-of-medical-lies-and.html' title='Investigation of medical lies and manipulation at Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-6940520899924212435</id><published>2009-12-11T17:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-11T17:43:44.242-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Planned Parenthood: “That’s not a baby growing inside of you”</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Planned Parenthood doctors are quacks.

If a doctor can not tell a light bulb from a baby, that is a doctor that should have their licensed pulled, quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worse, this is a lie, and Planned Parenthood--and YOUR tax dollars, are paying for it.  You know when government pays for prenatal care through Planned Parenthood, this is what they get--a doctor who doesn't know what a baby is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When will we learn, PP is a dangerous organization, it corrupts the nature of life and cares more about money and ideology than it does human life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the least, we need to stop tax dollars going to this corrupt, lying organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not a baby?  Who are the kidding?  Maybe those licensing Planned Parenthood need to look into doctors lying and babies dying. When a pregnant mother goes into PP, many times only one comes out alive.

Governor seat, vacated when liberal Democrat John Garamendi was elected to Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schwarzenegger, who made the announcement today during a taping of the Jay Leno Show in Burbank, said Maldonado, a state senator from California's Central Coast, was a "true partner" in pushing the governor's agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If confirmed by both houses of the California Legislature, Maldonado will get to have "Lieutenant Governor" under his name if he runs for statewide office in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The only good thing about this is that, if confirmed, Abel Maldonado won't get to vote against family values anytime soon because the Lt. Governor job has virtually no power," said Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, which led the recent statewide battle against Harvey Milk Gay Day, which further sexually indoctrinates children in K-12 government schools. "Still another good thing is that a special election to fill Maldonado's empty state Senate seat can be won by a more authentic, pro-family candidate than Maldonado ever was."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-5314274151716593479?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/5314274151716593479/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=5314274151716593479' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/5314274151716593479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/5314274151716593479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/11/response-to-nomination-of-abel.html' title='Response to nomination of Abel Maldonado for Lt.

He commented, “We are pleased that the San Juan school board listened to the community and abandoned this disastrous proposal. This is a victory for everyone who believes in parental responsibility and local control of school decisions.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pacific Justice Institute recently assisted parents in Modesto in defeating a very similar proposal. PJI is currently working with community leaders in Thousand Oaks to ensure that the school board respects parents’ rights to be informed when their children leave school for any reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many school districts throughout California have policies that prevent parents from finding out whether their children have left school for serious medical treatments or counseling. Parents seeking more information about changing such policies should contact Pacific Justice Institute. With four offices and more than 500 affiliate attorneys on the West Coast, PJI is ready to go head-to-head with any school district that maintains anti-parent policies in defiance of community values. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-6145268849967022805?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/6145268849967022805/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=6145268849967022805' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/6145268849967022805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/6145268849967022805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/11/school-district-backs-down-from-plan-to.html' title='School District Backs Down From Plan to Hide Kids’ Medical Info from Parents'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-6834232173443884070</id><published>2009-11-12T13:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T13:52:18.767-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Если родители промолчат сегодня, школы будут принимать за них медицинские решения завтра!!!</title><content type='html'>Один из самых крупных школьных округов Сакраменто, в который входит 61 школа, за спиной родителей, то есть без их ведома. собирается изменить правила по отсутствию учеников во время школьных занятий, которыми они до сих пор руководствовались.  Речь идет о так называемых «конфиденциальных медицинских услугах», которые предлагает школа для студентов, не желающих оповещать родителей о своих проблемах.  Эти услуги включают получение контрацептивов (противозачаточных средств), лечение от наркотической зависимости и аборты во время школьных занятий.  Причем, получить такие «конфиденциальные»  услуги дети могут в этом округе с 12 лет.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Первое заседание школьного совета (орган власти и надзора, который избирают налогоплательщики)на котором было принято решение пересмотреть существующие правила уже состоялось.  Представители школ признались, что на сегодняшний день, решения оповещать родителей о таких услугах предложенных их ребенку принимаются в  индивидуальном порядке школьными советниками, медсестрами или администраторами.  Было внесено предложение лишить родителей права оповещения, если их дети являются студентами с 7-го класса по 12-й. Последнее заседание совета состоится &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;17-го ноября в 6 :30 вечера по адресу 3738 Walnut Avenue, Carmichael.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Несколько месяцев тому назад подобные попытки членов школьных советов в городах Модесто и Фэерфилд подняли такую огромную волну оппозиции со стороны родителей, что эти предложения провалились. В настоящий момент еще один Калифорнийский город-Thousand Oaks рассматривает подобное предложение и родители этого города, и налогоплательщики настроены не менее отрицательно к этому предложению.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Христианская юридическая фирма Pacific Justice Institute во время заседания San Juan Unified школьного совета представит свой аналитический обзор и совет в пользу родительских прав членам школьного совета.  Когда подобные документы были представлены для рассмотрения в другие школьные округа, члены школьных советов всегда склонялись в пользу родительского оповещения.  По доминирующему мнению родителей и налогоплательщиков Калифорнии, именно родители и по закону страны, и по нравственному закону несут ответственность за медицинскую заботу о своих детях. К счастью, есть небольшое окно времени в течение которого все, кто проживает на территории San Juan Unified школьного совета, в независимости, есть у вас дети или нет, сможет выразить свое мнение по этому вопросу, до того как будет принято окончательное решение.

School officials have acknowledged that, currently, decisions are left to individual school counselors, nurses or administrators as to whether parents are notified when their children miss school for “confidential medical services.”  The new proposal would make clear that parents of 7th-12th graders would not be informed in such instances.  Only one board member, Dr. Larry Masuoka, questioned the proposed policy change.  A final vote is scheduled for the next board meeting on November 17. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similar attempts by school board members in Modesto and Fairfield-Suisun within the last few months stirred such intense opposition from parents that the proposals were defeated.  A similar, pending proposal in Thousand Oaks is also meeting stiff opposition from parents and community members.  Pacific Justice Institute will be offering legal analysis to the school board of San Juan Unified in support of parental notification.  PJI has provided similar counsel to several other school boards that have ultimately decided not to hide students’ medical decisions from parents.  PJI ally Capitol Resource Institute has also been instrumental in rallying parents to oppose “confidential medical services” policies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PJI President Brad Dacus lives in the San Juan Unified School District.  He commented, “It is wrong for a school district to hide students’ medical needs from their parents, who are morally and legally responsible for them.  Fortunately for parents and voters, there is still a small window of time to contact the San Juan school board and oppose this proposal before it becomes official district policy.”  For more information on the upcoming school board meeting, parents should contact Pacific Justice Institute. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The board meeting is scheduled to consider this issue next Tuesday, Nov. 17th at 6:30 p.m. (3738 Walnut Avenue, Carmichael).  Brad Dacus is planning to attend on behalf of PJI, but it's important for as many other attorneys as possible who live or work within SJUSD to attend the meeting and speak on their own behalf as taxpayers, voters and/or parents in the District.  If you are not able to attend (and even if you are) I would strongly encourage you to e-mail comments to the board members by this Wednesday night boardmembers@sanjuan.edu. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;You should also be aware that this battle has two nuances:  First, part of the proposed policy changes deal with absences for other reasons.  We are not challenging those changes.  Second, while we are seeking to defeat the proposed changes to  student absences for confidential medical services, the policy as currently written is unduly ambiguous and we are told is not being implemented uniformly in favor of parental notification.  Thus, we also want to push for a slight adjustment to the current policy that will clearly require parental notification.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-6537316912828996750?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/6537316912828996750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=6537316912828996750' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/6537316912828996750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/6537316912828996750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/11/school-district-moves-to-hide-students.html' title='School District Moves to Hide Students’ Medical Decisions from Parents'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-5324360934253386311</id><published>2009-11-11T15:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-11T15:57:13.682-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Pacific Justice Institute has learned that last week, the school board of San Juan Unified held an initial hearing to revise the district’s student absence policy.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;School officials have acknowledged that, currently, decisions are left to individual school counselors, nurses or administrators as to whether parents are notified when their children miss school for “confidential medical services.”&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The new proposal would make clear that parents of 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;-12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; graders would not be informed in such instances.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Only one board member, Dr. Larry Masuoka, questioned the proposed policy change.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;A final vote is scheduled for the next board meeting on November 17. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;

 &lt;/span&gt;A similar, pending proposal in Thousand Oaks is also meeting stiff opposition from parents and community members. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Pacific Justice Institute will be offering legal analysis to the school board of San Juan Unified in support of parental notification.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;PJI has provided similar counsel to several other school boards that have ultimately decided not to hide students’ medical decisions from parents.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;PJI ally Capitol Resource Institute has also been instrumental in rallying parents to oppose “confidential medical services” policies. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Circuit Court of Appeals. The lawsuit, filed by hundreds of atheists and atheist groups, led by frequent litigant Michael Newdow, was thrown out by the lower federal court. The two ministers who offered prayers at President Obama's inauguration, Dr. Rick Warren and Dr. Joseph Lowery, are named defendants in the lawsuit and are being represented by Pacific Justice Institute. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="left"&gt;In its Opposition Brief filed last week, Pacific Justice Institute countered the legal arguments of atheists who said public prayer traumatized them to the point of illness. Among the more dire claims, one plaintiff declared, "[W]hen Chief Justice Roberts asked the President to say, 'So help me God,' I felt threatened and sick to my stomach." Another plaintiff stated in court documents, "As I watched this inauguration, I cringed with disgust as I witnessed this special secular event again being poisoned with sectarian religious nonsense." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="left"&gt;The plaintiffs in this case include numerous individuals, and groups such as the Freedom From Religion Foundation, The American Humanist Association, Atheists United, Atheists for Human Rights, and Military Association of Atheists &amp;amp; Freethinkers. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="left"&gt;PJI Chief Counsel Kevin Snider, who authored the opposition brief submitted last week on behalf of Drs. Warren and Lowery, commented, "Prayers designed to solemnize public events have a long and venerable history in our nation. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;table style="border-collapse: collapse;" align="left" bgcolor="#cccccc" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="100%"&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://vbuttons.com/ec/9211/brad_pres_pji_100.jpg" title="" alt="" src="http://vbuttons.com/ec/9211/brad_pres_pji_100.jpg" height="130" width="100" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Brad Dacus, Pres PJI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;The Constitution simply does not demand that our public institutions be amoral or atheistic."  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, stated, "The First Amendment cannot be divorced from common sense. While atheists, humanists and freethinkers are a tiny minority in America, they are free to express and practice their lack of faith as they please. That does not mean, however, that the vast majority of God-fearing citizens and public officials must be silenced in order to appease them."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-376894077279558767?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/376894077279558767/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=376894077279558767' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/376894077279558767'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/376894077279558767'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/10/atheists-tell-federal-appeals-court.html' title='Atheists Tell Federal Appeals Court: Public Prayer Makes Us Sick'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-3205159724815162219</id><published>2009-10-12T22:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-12T22:40:04.532-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div id=":1bp" class="ii gt"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Несмотря на все усилия в виде звонков, факсов и писем, которыми заполонили офис губернатора родители, бабушки и дедушки, да и просто жители Калифорнии, которым не безразличен моральный климат нашего штата, &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Арнольд &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Шварценеггер подписал в закон билль &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;" lang="EN-US"&gt;SB&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt; 572. Напомню, что этот закон заставит государственные общеобразовательные школы праздновать день рождения гомосексуала &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Харви Милка, начиная с &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;22 мая 2010 года.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Спасибо всем за молитвы и&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;ваше участие в общих стараниях остановить этот законопроект.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;В результате ваших звонков,&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;электронных сообщений, факсов и петиций четыре законодателя от Демократической партии сняли свою поддержку этому биллю.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;К сожаленью, губернатор заткнул свои уши и не пожелал услышать ни свой голос совести, ни голос родителей штата Калифорния.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Калифорнийские избиратели пожинают то, что они посеяли.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;В 2003м году, когда Шварценеггер был избран в первый раз на пост губернатора, он объявил, что поддерживает идею о передаче гомосексуальным парам всех прав брака, которыми обладают пары, состоящие в браке.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Позже, ему этого показалось недостаточным, и он стал поддерживать однополые браки. Он также считает правомерным усыновление детей гомосексуальными парами.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;А еще мало кто знает, что он позировал в обнаженном виде в гомосексуальном журнале, когда занимался культуризмом.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Пару лет назад он нанял на работу радикальную лесбиянку, &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;демократку Сюзан Кенеди, чтобы она возглавила его кабинет.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Теперь, подписав два ужасных билля &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;" lang="EN-US"&gt;SB&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt; 572 и &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;" lang="EN-US"&gt;SB&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt; 54, который признает действительными однополые браки, заключенные&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;в другом штате,&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;напрямую противореча 8й пропозиции, Шварценеггер поддерживает весь список требований и желаний секс меньшинств, ничем больше не отличаясь от своих лево радикальных &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;либеральных оппонентов от Демократической партии.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Возникает вопрос, кто хуже? Либеральный Демократ или либеральный Республиканец? Несмотря на то, что и тот и другой наносят непоправимый урон семейным ценностям, либеральный Республиканец приносит вреда больше.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Почему? Потому что либеральный республиканец притупляет чувство бдительности избирателей, потому что они считают, что выбирают меньшее из двух зол.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Также считают не только избиратели, но и радио ведущие консервативных ток-шоу и Республиканская партия в целом. Такое мнение, конечно, не библейское.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Проникая и нанося урон изнутри партии, либеральный республиканец разрушает республиканскую партию больше чем демократ. &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Обратите внимание, что если важный правительственный пост занимает либеральный демократ, то его анти-семейные действия напротив, объединяют и мобилизируют &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;граждан на оппозицию для следующих выборов.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Заметьте, именно это происходит сейчас повсеместно, аналитики прогнозируют, что на выборах 2010го года в Конгресс США опять выиграют республиканцы.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Если Вы поддерживаете семейные ценности, но Вы голосовали&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;за Шварценеггера, либерального республиканца с антисемейными ценностями, пожалуйста, извлеките для себя урок&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;из всего этого.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;А пока, с печалью в сердце должна напомнить всем, что нам не удалось остановить законопроект, который предлагает праздновать в государственных образовательных школах день Харви Милка. Празднование этого дня начнется со следующего года. 22 мая станет официальным днем празднования гомосексуализма для детей в школах с пятилетнего возраста! Празднование этого дня может включать любые вариации придуманные учителем-просмотр гей фильмов, переодевание в одежды противоположного пола, гей парады учеников на территории школы или у Капитолия, сочинения на тему "Радостный стиль жизни людей гомосексуальной ориентации" и многое другое. Законопроект ни в чем не ограничивает фантазии либеральных учителей в выборе "упражнений" по празднованию этого дня, но обязывает школы праздновать этот день и полностью лишает родителей права выбора на альтернативные уроки во время празднования. Он также запрещает родителям не пускать своих детей в этот день в школу.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;День гея Харви Милка будет учить школьников всем противоречивым ценностям этого человека. Основываясь на исторических записях о его грязной жизни, детей в начальной школе могут учить, что секс взрослого человека с ребенком – это нормально, что сексуальные отношения с многими людьми – это нормально, что врать публично – это хорошо, если помогает тебе идти вперед и достигать твоей цели. Такие инструкции, независимо от того, преподают их косвенно или напрямую, совсем не то, чего хотят родители, и совсем не то, в чем нуждаются наши дети. Харви Милка пытаются выставить как мученика-героя. Гея, которым должна гордиться вся Калифорния. Мы просили губернатора наложить вето на этот законопроект и предоставили петиции, содержащие подписи 14,255 родителей Калифорнии не желающих этого "праздника" для своих детей. Эти подписи были собраны в течение всего 2х недель! Так что &lt;b&gt;есть&lt;/b&gt; еще люди в нашем штате, которые не только не соглашаются с &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;пропагандой гомосексуализма для детей в школах нашего штата, но и активно участвуют, всеми силами пытаясь если не остановить, то по крайней мере замедлить обвал моральных ценностей в нашем штате. С большой грустью должна отметить, что таких людей даже среди нашего славянского общества становится все меньше и меньше. Мы могли принять участие и в более активной форме, но я повсеместно наталкивалась на глухую стену непонимания и апатии, как со стороны духовных лидеров нашего общества, так и со стороны средств печати и радио. Теперь же я предоставляю делать выводы каждому в тишине своего сердца- сделали ли &lt;b&gt;Вы&lt;/b&gt; достаточно для того, чтобы зло не торжествовало в нашем штате.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-3205159724815162219?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/3205159724815162219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=3205159724815162219' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/3205159724815162219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/3205159724815162219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/10/sb-572.html' title=''/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-4058490036158782151</id><published>2009-10-12T15:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-12T15:21:28.695-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Schwarzenegger SIGNS 'Harvey Milk G-y Day'</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Despite the hard work and moral cries of pro-family parents, grandparents and other concerned Californians, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed SB 572, "Harvey Milk Gay Day" for schoolchildren, into law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning, SaveCalifornia.com issued our response to the media (&lt;a href="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&amp;amp;view=bsp&amp;amp;ver=1qygpcgurkovy#1244a2172d9f949d_newsrelease" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"&gt;see below&lt;/a&gt;). Pro-family Californians are appropriately outraged today (&lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=2c36cf9b9b&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;see comments on our Facebook&lt;/a&gt;). I want to give you perspective and direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your hard work and prayers to protest "Harvey Milk Gay Day." Your phone calls, emails, faxes, and petitions were admirable and pulled off four Democrats in the State Assembly. But sadly, Arnold Schwarzenegger has plugged his ears to parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;California voters are reaping what they have sowed. In 2003 when he was first elected, Schwarzenegger was on record supporting giving all the rights of marriage to homosexuals (later he flipped and now supports homosexual "marriage" licenses too); he supported homosexual couples adopting children; and he had posed nude in a homosexual magazine in his body-building years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple years ago, he hired a homosexual activist, Susan Kennedy, as his chief of staff. Now, by signing SB 572 and SB 54, which recognizes out-of-state homosexual "marriages" in clear violation of Prop. 8, Schwarzenegger supports the ENTIRE homosexual-bisexual-&lt;wbr&gt;transsexual agenda, just like Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's worse? A liberal Democrat or a liberal Republican? Since they do the same damage to family values, a liberal Republican is worse. Because a liberal Republican dumbs-down pro-family voters with a unbiblical "lesser of two evils" standard, dumbs down conservative talk-show hosts, and dumbs-down the Republican Party. By infiltrating from within, a liberal Republican can do more damage to "his side" than a liberal Democrat. A liberal Democrat in office will actually unite pro-family citizens in opposition and motivate them for the next election. Look at the national picture. If you're a pro-family citizen who voted for Schwarzenegger, an anti-family-values liberal Republican, please learn from this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may want to express your anger by calling a live staffer in Schwarzenegger's office at 916-445-2841 or at any of his &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=05792adab5&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;five regional offices&lt;/a&gt;. You should also expose this terrible deed (supported by 68 Democrat lawmakers, 1 Republican named Abel Maldonado, and California's liberal Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger) by posting comments to online news sites and social networking sites, and by calling talk radio shows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is our news release from this morning:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a name="1244a2172d9f949d_newsrelease" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;SaveCalifornia.com Appalled at Signing of 'Harvey Milk Gay Day'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;SB 572, opposed by overwhelming majority, signed by 'People's Governor'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sacramento –&lt;/b&gt; SaveCalifornia.com, a leading West Coast pro-family, pro-child organization, is appalled that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed SB 572, "Harvey Milk Day," into law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Harvey Milk* was a sexual predator of teens, an advocate of polygamous relationships, a public liar, and is in no way a good role model for impressionable schoolchildren," said &lt;b&gt;Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com&lt;/b&gt;. "Sadly, children in public schools will now have even more in-your-face, homosexual-bisexual-&lt;wbr&gt;transsexual indoctrination. This provides the strongest impetus yet for loving parents to remove their children from anti-family public schools."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"'Harvey Milk Day' teaches children as young as five years old to admire the life and values and the notorious homosexual activist Harvey Milk" said Thomasson. "The 'suitable commemorative exercises' that are part of 'Harvey Milk Day' can easily result in cross-dressing exercises, 'LGBT pride' parades and mock gay weddings on school campuses -- everything Harvey Milk supported."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Schwarzenegger vetoed "Harvey Milk Day" last year, he signed it this year. The Governor also previously claimed to oppose same-sex "marriage," but now supports destroying the definition of marriage as only between a man and a woman, in court, and by his signing of SB 54, to recognize out-of-state homosexual "marriages" in violation of Prop. 8.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For several months, SaveCalifornia.com has been leading parents and grandparents to call, email, fax, and petition Governor Schwarzenegger to veto "Harvey Milk Day." The clear majority of correspondence to the Governor was opposed to SB 572. As a whole, Californians are 4 to 1 against the notion of statewide day of significance honoring the San Francisco gay activist (&lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=d50d6cf896&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.surveyusa.com/&lt;wbr&gt;client/PollReport.aspx?g=&lt;wbr&gt;8dd73373-5bc1-434e-9df6-&lt;wbr&gt;84de00449a71&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For documentation of Harvey Milk's values and further analysis of "Harvey Milk Day," see SaveCalifornia.com's SB 572 veto request letter: &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=fa42e2a4b4&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;http://savecalifornia.com/&lt;wbr&gt;images/stories/PDFs/nr_&lt;wbr&gt;sb572vetoletter_101109.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Randy Shilts, The Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk (1982)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-4058490036158782151?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/4058490036158782151/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=4058490036158782151' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/4058490036158782151'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/4058490036158782151'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/10/schwarzenegger-signs-harvey-milk-g-y.html' title='Schwarzenegger SIGNS &apos;Harvey Milk G-y Day&apos;'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-2361674279420018569</id><published>2009-09-17T22:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T00:09:29.098-07:00</updated><title type='text'>14,000+ Petitions Delivered to Schwarzenegger</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SrMyC_RRcuI/AAAAAAAAAJw/WVxTRtBQ1GQ/s1600-h/IMG_7452_NewsConfPet_460px.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SrMyC_RRcuI/AAAAAAAAAJw/WVxTRtBQ1GQ/s320/IMG_7452_NewsConfPet_460px.1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382701006562882274" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=b66fa3f9ce&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;As the deadline for signatures loomed, a couple thousand more pro-family Californians responded to our call to sign SaveCalifornia.com's online petition opposing "Harvey Milk Gay Day."

Our goal was in sight!&lt;br /&gt;When we finally stop counting early Wednesday evening, &lt;b&gt;we had 14,255 signatures! &lt;/b&gt;SaveCalifornia.com announced this fact to TV and radio reporters Thursday at 11 a.m., then we carted the heavy boxes of petitions into the Governor's receiving area on the first floor of the State Capitol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you to everyone who signed and especially to those who collected signatures from others. You are making a difference, and SaveCalifornia.com is multiplying your effect by telling it to the media! Praise the Lord for all this activity.

He wouldn't say whether Schwarzenegger would sign or veto "Harvey Milk Day."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But he said whatever the Governor decided, one side or the other was going to be very unhappy.

"The large and growing opposition to SB 572 isn't surprising. Only one out of five Californians support honoring Harvey Milk with a "day of significance."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The petitions, delivered today to the Governor's office by Thomasson and parents, read as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Petition to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to veto SB 572, creating "Harvey Milk Gay Day"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whereas, the appropriate goal of the California public school system is to teach children academic proficiency, not to indoctrinate children with controversial and politically-correct notions;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whereas, the effect of SB 572 is to openly teach children that homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality are good and natural and maybe for them;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whereas, fathers and mothers -- not politicians -- should have the final say about the teaching of sexual lifestyles to their children;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whereas, by passing SB 572, the California Legislature is pressuring children in public schools, as young as kindergarten, to celebrate "Harvey Milk Gay Day," regardless of their parents' wishes;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whereas, the Governor of the State of California retains veto power over this legislation;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whereas, in 2008, the Governor vetoed the same bill pushing "Harvey Milk Gay Day" (AB 2567);&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Therefore, I hereby urge Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to exercise his constitutional power to veto and strike down SB 572.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;"'Harvey Milk Gay Day' is opposed by most Californians, who want schoolchildren to be taught academics, not perverse sexual indoctrination," said Thomasson. "These petitions demand that the Governor veto 'Harvey Milk Gay Day' because the appropriate goal of schools is to teach academic proficiency, not sexually-charged and politically-correct notions. The highest percentage of phone calls, faxes, emails, poll respondents, and now petitions to the Governor all say 'no way' to 'Harvey Milk Gay Day.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A SEXUAL PREDATOR OF TEENS&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Randy Shilts, a homosexual San Francisco Chronicle reporter, wrote a favorable and sordid biography of Milk in "The Mayor of Castro Street." The 1982 book detailed Milk's sexual relationships with a 16-year-old, a 19-year-old and other young men:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"...sixteen-year-old McKinley was looking for some kind of father figure...At 33, Milk was launching a new life, though he could hardly have imagined the unlikely direction toward which his new lover would pull him." (pages 30-31)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It would be to boyish-looking men in their late teens and early 20's that Milk would be attracted for the rest of his life." (page 24)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Harvey always had a penchant for young waifs with substance abuse problems." (page 180)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Harvey confided one night that at twenty-four, Doug was the oldest man Harvey had ever started an affair with." (page 237)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ADVOCATED MULTIPLE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS AT THE SAME TIME&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Explaining Milk's many flings and affairs with teenagers and young men, Randy Shilts writes how Milk told one "lover" why it was OK for him to also have multiple relationships simultaneously:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As homosexuals, we can't depend on the heterosexual model...We grow up with the heterosexual model, but we don't have to follow it. We should be developing our own life-style. There's no reason why you can't love more than one person at a time. You don't have to love them all the same. You love some less, love some more -- and always be honest with everybody about where you're at. They in turn can do the same thing and it can open up a bigger sphere." (pages 237-238)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PUBLICLY LIED FOR YEARS ABOUT HIS MILITARY CAREER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He had not suffered this disgrace, he told a later campaign manager, but he knew the story would make good copy. If anyone said something to Harvey about his fondness for such stunts, he would gesture wildly as launched into a lecture. 'Symbols, symbols, symbols,' he insisted. Sure, he had not been kicked out of the military...The point of the story was to let people know that service people routinely do get kicked out. Besides, he once confided, 'Maybe people will read it, feel sorry for me, and then vote for me.'" (Randy Shilts, The Mayor of Castro Street, p. 78-79)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The text of SB 572 states that "On Harvey Milk Day, exercises remembering the life of Harvey Milk, recognizing his accomplishments, and familiarizing pupils with the contributions he made to this state" shall be conducted; specifically, "all public schools and educational institutions are encouraged to observe...and...conduct suitable commemorative exercises."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This bill is not about 'gay rights' or 'stopping harassment,'" said Thomasson. "Instead, SB 572 is outright promotion of everything Harvey Milk believed in -- the entire gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual agenda pushed upon schoolchildren as young as kindergarten, without parental permission."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(210, 105, 30);"&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(210, 105, 30);"&gt;EARN THE FACTS THAT 'LGBT' ACTIVISTS WANT TO HIDE: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Празднование этого дня начнется со следующего года, если губернатор Калифорнии подпишет законопроект SB572.  22 мая станет официальным днем празднования гомосексуализма для детей в школах с пятилетнего возраста! Празднование этого дня может включать любые вариации придуманные учителем-просмотр гей фильмов, переодевание в одежды противоположного пола, гей парады учеников на территории школы или у Капитолия, сочинения на тему "Радостный стиль жизни людей гомосексуальной ориентации" и многое другое. Законопроект ни в чем не ограничивает фантазии либеральных учителей в выборе "упражнений" по празднованию этого дня, но обязывает школы праздновать этот день и полностью лишает родителей права выбора на альтернативные уроки во время празднования.  Он также запрещает родителям не пускать  своих детей в этот день в школу.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; День гея Харви Милка будет учить школьников всем противоречивым ценностям этого человека. Основываясь на исторические записи его грязной жизни, детей в начальной школе могут учить, что секс взрослого человека с ребенком – это нормально, что сексуальные отношения с многими людьми – это нормально, что врать публично – это хорошо, если помогает тебе идти вперед и достигать твоей цели. Такие инструкции, независимо от того, преподают их косвенно или напрямую, совсем не то, чего хотят родители, и совсем не то, в чем нуждаются наши дети. Харви Милка пытаются выставить как мученика-героя. Гея, которым должна гордиться вся Калифорния. Мы просим губернатора наложить вето на этот законопроект и сегодня в проведенной пресс- конференции перед Капитолием Сакраменто мы пообещали не сдаваться в этой борьбе и предоставили возможность прессе ознакомиться с петициями содеражащими подписи 14,255  родителей Калифорнии не желающих этого "праздника" для своих детей. Эти подписи были собраны в течение всего 2х недель!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; В данный момент гей-лобби и племянник Харви Милка, который тоже гей, наседают на губернатора, чтобы он подписал этот законопроект, и в свою очередь гомосексуалисты собрали 39.000 подписей за 4.5 месяца с просьбой утвердить этот день для школьного праздника. В школах будут проходить парады и разные другие мероприятия в честь его и ему подобных «мучеников за права геев».  Быть или не быть "красному" дню календаря для геев в Калифорнии зависит не только от нашего губернатора, но и от нас.  Пожалуйста продолжайте звонить губернатору, шлите письма и петиции и, самое главное, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;МОЛИТЕСЬ!!!&lt;/span&gt; Мы можем приготовить коней для боя, но исход битвы все равно решает Господь.

With the exception of three years (1969, 1970, and 1996), Democrats have held the majority in both houses of the California State Legislature &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=89c67fe527&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;since 1959&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a political independent who runs a nonpartisan family organization, I can honestly say that California government today is largely the creation and management of Democrats. They've made the laws!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These Democrat politicians have made California &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=84916619a9&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;the largest "welfare state" in the U.S&lt;/a&gt;. What’s more, over the last two decades, these Democrats have established abortion, homosexuality-bisexuality-&lt;wbr&gt;transsexuality, forced unionization, and illegal immigration as "sacred cows" of California laws and government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here in 2009, what do you get with Democrats holding 51 out of 80 seats in the State Assembly, and 25 out of 40 seats in the State Senate? Virtually all the pro-family bills get killed in Democrat-controlled committees. And virtually all the anti-family bills pass the Democrat-controlled Senate and Assembly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, under California law, abortion and homosexuality are firmly entrenched and taxpayer supported. Religious freedom, parental rights, and ownership rights have been severely diminished.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a name="123c02d23b13fe38_persistentfight" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Our persistence against Harvey Milk Gay Day&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this very difficult legislative environment, SaveCalifornia.com can only fight against the most shocking anti-family bills....bills that have a chance of defeat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's why this year, we've focused like a laser beam on SB 572, "Harvey Milk Gay Day" for children in government schools. By opposing and exposing the terrible role model Harvey Milk is for kids, SaveCalifornia.com and our supporters have successfully given SB 572 a black eye with the Governor and in the media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please keep lobbying Arnold Schwarzenegger to veto the bill, like he did last year. We have a chance if we keep fighting and don't give up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SB 572 passed the California Legislature with the "yes" votes of 66 Democrats and one Republican -– &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=4f29112dd8&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Abel Maldonado of Santa Maria&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=6965a55a58&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;ACTION STEPS TO OPPOSE SB 572, HARVEY MILK GAY DAY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a name="123c02d23b13fe38_SB54" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Will Arnold further undermine marriage?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I expect the Governor to sign another big, anti-family bill that the Democrats passed. SB 54 would make California officially recognize homosexual "marriages" from other states and nations if these homosexual "marriages" were legalized before California's passage of Prop. 8 in November 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SB 54 is authored by homosexual activist and Democrat State Senator Mark Leno of San Francisco, who's also the author of SB 572, Harvey Milk Gay Day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you may already know, Arnold Schwarzenegger opposed Prop. 8. Since being elected in 2003, the Governor has signed every bill that incrementally awarded marriage rights to homosexual couples. Why is he doing this? A self-proclaimed social liberal, Schwarzenegger has a homosexual chief of staff (Susan Kennedy); so does his wife, Maria (Daniel Zingale).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the California Supreme Court already took advantage of Prop. 8’s weaknesses by validating some 18,000 homosexual "marriages" contracted in California between June and November of last year, it won't be much of a problem for Schwarzenegger to add a smaller number of man-man or woman-woman "marriages" to the mix.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So it's not just Democrats undermining marriage in Sacramento. It's lalso liberal Republicans like Schwarzenegger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=1938df3b08&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;SB 54&lt;/a&gt; passed the California Legislature with the "yes" votes of 70 Democrats and no Republicans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a name="123c02d23b13fe38_SB543" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Anti-parental rights bill gets hung up&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That said, it's a relief that a bad bill sneaking confused children out of public schools, without parental permission, to counsel them to become homosexuals, has failed to pass the Legislature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SB 543 had passed the Senate but stalled last week in the Assembly, seemingly due to existing parental rights policies among psychiatrists and other professionals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=498e90fd17&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;SB 543&lt;/a&gt; passed the California Senate with the "yes" votes of 22 Democrats and no Republicans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a name="123c02d23b13fe38_SB242" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Wrong and wacky bills on Governor's desk&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the worst bills I've ever seen attacking an English-speaking civilization is SB 242 by Democrat State Senator Leland Yee of South San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the Governor's desk is &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=a8adb3d544&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;SB 242&lt;/a&gt;, which would effectively allow any non-English speaker to sue an English-speaking business if he or she felt offended because the business didn't speak to them in other languages, such as Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Farsi, Hindi, Urdu, Turkish, Russian, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the Legislative Analyst's office, SB 242 "would make it a violation of the Unruh Civil Rights Act to adopt or enforce a policy that requires, limits, or prohibits the use of any language in or with a business establishment." There are a few exceptions, but the effect is clearly to allow anyone who doesn't speak English to sue an English-only business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This earth-shaking, liberal juggernaut would destroy the glue of any culture. The glue? A common language.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SB 242 passed the Democrat-controlled California Legislature despite the California Constitution clearly stating the following:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• "English is the common language of the people of the United States of America and the State of California"&lt;br /&gt;• "English is the official language of the State of California"&lt;br /&gt;• "The Legislature and officials of the State of California shall take all steps necessary to insure that the role of English as the common language of the State of California is preserved and enhanced"&lt;br /&gt;• "The Legislature shall make no law which diminishes or ignores the role of English as the common language of the State of California."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SB 242 passed the California Legislature with the "yes" votes of 69 Democrats and no Republicans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a name="123c02d23b13fe38_SB471" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Stem cell "education": Lies and more lies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Another bad bill passed by the Democrats would teach children three lies – that little humans in their mothers' wombs or those in petri dishes are not human, do not have human rights, and that destroying these little humans for "embryonic stem cell research" will cure diseases.

Established by Prop. 71 in 2004, CIRM has spent billions of taxpayer dollars to destroy human embryos without helping anyone, except those who like to pocket taxpayer money. Embryonic stem cell resesearch has produced tumors, but no beneficial results, in adult patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In contrast, research on adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells -- research which doesn't kill anyone -- has produced nearly 100 successful treatments. And what about &lt;i&gt;embryonic &lt;/i&gt;stem cell research? &lt;i&gt;Zero&lt;/i&gt; successful treatments!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"…non-embryonic stem-cell treatments have been used to treat tens of thousands of patients, and with dramatic benefits. However, embryonic stem cells have not had one clinical trial with humans," writes biology professor &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=3c9120ade4&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Dr. Jan F.

Until CIRM pragmatically directs its funding towards research that has proven effective and away from research that is ideological, e.g., embryonic stem cell research,  Californian taxpayers will not see little return on their multi-billion (dollar) investment." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SB 471 passed the California Legislature with the "yes" votes of 73 Democrats and 2 Republicans – &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=ca52e32a56&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Abel Maldonado of Santa Maria&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=e49b283bb2&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Curt Hagman of Chino Hills&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TO COMMENT TO THE GOVERNOR ON THESE BILLS, CALL 916-445-2841 OR &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=ab9333ff55&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;CLICK HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Now therefore, listen to me, my children,&lt;br /&gt;For blessed are those who keep my ways.&lt;br /&gt;Hear instruction and be wise,&lt;br /&gt;And do not disdain it.&lt;br /&gt;Blessed is the man who listens to me,&lt;br /&gt;Watching daily at my gates,&lt;br /&gt;Waiting at the posts of my doors.&lt;br /&gt;For whoever finds me finds life,&lt;br /&gt;And obtains favor from the LORD;&lt;br /&gt;But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul;&lt;br /&gt;All those who hate me love death."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=ff650fe593&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Proverbs 8:32-26 NKJV&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-6068066208068370091?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/6068066208068370091/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=6068066208068370091' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/6068066208068370091'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/6068066208068370091'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/09/deadline-to-petition-against-harvey.html' title='Deadline to petition against Harvey Milk Gay Day'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-8538214724127467969</id><published>2009-09-05T14:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-05T14:40:01.626-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hope that 'Harvey Milk Gay Day' will be vetoed</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SqLZrn6Q7EI/AAAAAAAAAJY/XBW8LF3pSuc/s1600-h/IMG_7225_442x270.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 195px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SqLZrn6Q7EI/AAAAAAAAAJY/XBW8LF3pSuc/s320/IMG_7225_442x270.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378100248504757314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good news! All signs indicate that the intense battle over "Harvey Milk Gay Day" (SB 572) is "pro-family citizens to lose."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What this means, is pro-family citizens are in the driver's seat and have choices to make:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. We can probably win the Governor's veto IF we keep calling, emailing, faxing, and petitioning him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. But if pro-family citizens become lazy or despair unnecessarily and the Governor doesn't hear from you, THEN he could easily change course and sign this blatant school sexual indoctrination bill known as "Harvey Milk Gay Day."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHAT YOU, &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.com/" target="_blank"&gt;SAVECALIFORNIA.COM&lt;/a&gt;, AND THE GOVERNOR'S MAN ARE SAYING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The calls you are making and the emails you are sending the Governor through SaveCalifornia.com are being noticed. &lt;/b&gt;The Governor's spokesman told the media Thursday and Friday that more than 100,000 calls and emails have come in on SB 572, and that most are opposed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With your help and God's blessing, SaveCalifornia.com is exposing the very bad role model Harvey Milk was and is to children.

CALL THE GOVERNOR: Call Schwarzenegger at his six offices. Urge him to "Veto SB 572. Veto 'Harvey Milk Gay Day' for schoolchildren. Parents don't want it.

The UN, it seems, is now in the sexual education business, as it has released its thoughts on the necessary elements that should comprise a universal “lesson plan” to children as young as age 5.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As reported by &lt;a href="http://link.smartcommunicator.net/?135-326-337-68319-1937" target="_blank"&gt;FOX News&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://link.smartcommunicator.net/?135-326-337-68319-1940" target="_blank"&gt;Catholic News Service&lt;/a&gt;, the 98-page report, titled “International Guidelines for Sexual Education,” lays out in graphic terms that children are &lt;em&gt;entitled&lt;/em&gt; to sexual, reproductive and gender education starting in pre-kindergarten. It rests its case for the need for such education on a 2008 report from the International Planned Parenthood Foundation, which argued that sexual education is “an integral component of human rights.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is it really the government’s right or duty to teach your kindergartner that they can derive pleasure from touching their private parts?  Is it any government’s role to provide any children with a definition of gender or gender roles?  Is it essential that your nine year-old learn from the teacher what an aphrodisiac is, or the notion of power and sexual abuse? How about your 15 year-old being taught about the right to abortion and its safe access?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The UN defends the need for this curriculum by saying "in a world affected by HIV and AIDS ... there is an imperative to give children and young people the knowledge, skills and values to understand and make informed decisions."  They also promise that the instruction is “age appropriate.”  Do you trust the United Nations to make that decision for your children, or even for the children in your neighborhood?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ravaging effects of HIV and AIDS are not to be discounted, and many relief organizations must respond to the urgency of the epidemic and its effects on regions of the world.  However, it is arrogant of a United Nations committee to suggest international curricula that disregards the values, morals and worldviews of religions and cultures, and parents!  Simply stated, the UN’s report is in direct opposition to the values most Americans hold.  Exactly how and when to introduce this type of personal information rests solely in the hands of the parent. Yet every day, we are seeing the homosexual agenda infiltrating into every kind of curriculum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first stated purpose and principle of the United Nations charter is to “maintain international peace and security.”  It’s a stretch beyond comprehension to see how arming nine-to-twelve year-olds with the “specific steps involved in obtaining and using condoms and contraception, including emergency contraception” and the “signs and symptoms of pregnancy” lead to a more peaceful world.  But I’m sure they’ll keep trying.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;                              &lt;wbr&gt;                              &lt;wbr&gt;                 ***&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a stage a little bit closer to home, efforts are underway by a transgender teen to have Vermont’s middle and high schools offer “genderless” bathrooms.  A 16 year-old, boy-turned-girl wants the Vermont Human Rights Commission to accommodate this individual’s request for a genderless bathroom in high school.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The teenager is part of a social service organization for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth called Outright Vermont.  The group’s executive director stated  “This is another opportunity to again be the first in the nation and say we are going to make sure that all of our students, no matter who they are, are safe and protected."  He urged the Commission to take action – which they declined to do at last week’s hearing – saying that the process was just beginning and he hoped they would take a stand on the issue to ensure that young people feel comfortable when they are in school.  What about the 98 percent of heterosexual females who would have to relinquish their privacy to “genderless bathroom” users?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-5790686962026848214?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/5790686962026848214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=5790686962026848214' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/5790686962026848214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/5790686962026848214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/09/infiltration-of-international-agenda.html' title='Infiltration of an International Agenda'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-8910611968588606623</id><published>2009-09-03T19:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-03T19:44:00.574-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Assembly Democrats attack children's innocence, parental rights</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Pass 'Harvey Milk   Gay Day' teaching kids to celebrate 'LGBT' lifestyles and agenda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Sacramento,   California --&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The California State   Assembly has passed a bill pressuring all California public schools to   hold an annual "day of significance" honoring the life and values   of homosexual activist Harvey Milk.

"By passing 'Harvey Milk Gay Day,' these Democrat politicians   have declared war on children's innocence in exchange for political favors   from homosexual groups."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;div&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;For more than a month, SaveCalifornia.com has been helping   parents, grandparents and concerned citizens oppose SB 572, "Harvey Milk   Gay Day," with calls, faxes, emails, and news conferences. SB 572   now goes to the Democrat-controlled    State Senate, which   passed the bill in May. If SB 572 passes the California Legislature, this   incendiary bill will go to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who last year   vetoed "Harvey Milk Day."&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  "'Harvey Milk Gay Day' would teach schoolkids all about the life and   very controversial values of Harvey Milk," said Thomasson. "Based   on the historical record of Milk's sordid life, this could include teaching   elementary and secondary schoolchildren that adult-child homosexual 'sex' is   OK, having multiple sexual relationships at the same time is OK, and telling   a very public lie is good if it 'gets you ahead.' This instruction, whether   taught directly or indirectly, is not what parents want or children   need."&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  A SEXUAL PREDATOR OF TEENS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Randy Shilts, a homosexual San Francisco Chronicle reporter, wrote a   favorable and sordid biography of Milk in "The Mayor of Castro   Street." The 1982 book detailed Milk's sexual relationships with a   16-year-old, a 19-year-old and other young men:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;"...sixteen-year-old        McKinley was looking for some kind of father figure...At 33, Milk was        launching a new life, though he could hardly have imagined the unlikely        direction toward which his new lover would pull him."

You love some less, love some more -- and always be honest with   everybody about where you're at. They in turn can do the same thing and it   can open up a bigger sphere."

Sure, he had not been   kicked out of the military...The point of the story was to let people know   that service people routinely do get kicked out. Besides, he once confided,   'Maybe people will read it, feel sorry for me, and then vote for me.'"

He and his wife both have homosexual chiefs of staffs. Schwarzenegger has signed the overwhelming majority of homosexual agenda bills since he took office in 2003. And he's being lobbied harder than last year by homosexual activists to sign "Harvey Milk Gay Day."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who will Arnold end up pleasing? In an extraordinary and concerning move, the Governor twittered this on Aug. 24: "Some interesting bills coming down. Give me your thoughts on the water package, Harvey Milk Day, and the prison reform bills."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Since this is a horse race between pro-family citizens and anti-family liberals, please take renewed action.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;THE FAX IS BACK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of you will be glad to know that SaveCalifornia.com is making available for at least ONE MORE DAY the &lt;b&gt;blast fax &lt;/b&gt;to the Governor and all 79 California Assemblymembers.

Homosexual activists are worried and are redoubling their anti-family efforts. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;We just received a troubling signal that the Governor may be considering opposing the Harvey Milk Day bill. We must show a groundswell of support. The Governor's Secretary of Education recently sent a letter opposing the bill that reads:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;"As you know, the Governor vetoed a substantially similar bill last year. The veto message stated that Harvey Milk's contributions should continue to be recognized at the local level by those who were most impacted by his contributions. Since this bill is nearly identical, the veto message remains applicable."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Equality California goes on to urge everyone to call Governor Schwarzenegger to urge passage of Harvey Milk Day, SB 572.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;But, of course, you and I must do the opposite of the homosexual activists. We must call, fax and email Schwarzenegger and California state legislators and URGE THEM TO &lt;i&gt;OPPOSE&lt;/i&gt; “HARVEY MILK GAY DAY”:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. SEND YOUR FAXES: If you haven't done so yet, or if you want to do it again, send a strongly-worded, authoritative fax letter opposing SB 572 to the Governor and all 79 state assemblymembers. (We are asking for a small donation for this innovative service.) &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=6dd3dfca6f&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;SEND YOUR FAXES NOW&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. CALL ARNOLD AND CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS: Please pick up the phone to call Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Tell his staffer that you want the Governor to "Oppose Harvey Milk Gay Day, SB 572. Children don't need this bad example pushed upon them." The Governor's main number during regular business hours is 916-445-2841.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=acfd8f3268&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Here are phone numbers for Schwarzenegger's regional offices that you can call 24/7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also call your California state assemblymember and California state senator, no matter whether they are Republican or Democrat, but especially if they are Democrats. Tell them "Oppose the bad example of Harvey Milk. I am strongly against SB 572 and anyone who pushes it on our children."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=5e3bc50006&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Find your California state legislators' numbers by entering your zip code&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. SEND A PRE-WRITTEN EMAIL: Tell Governor Schwarzenegger and your two state legislators in Sacramento to oppose SB 572. It takes just a couple of mouse clicks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=7c1dff127b&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Send your pre-written opposition email to Sacramento now&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. IF YOU'RE A BUSINESS, ORGANIZATION, CHURCH OR PRIVATE/HOME SCHOOL, MAIL A LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR: Please authorize or get to the person who can approve a letter opposing "Harvey Milk Gay Day," and print on your official letterhead of your church, business, organization, or school. &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=eb1967ae5d&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Follow these simple instructions with our sample letter that you can copy and paste&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=250ce7e610&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Revelation 2:3 NIV&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You've got to see what they're saying.

We join the large majority of parents and the wide breadth of California voters who oppose instituting an official “Harvey Milk Day” for K-12 students in public schools.&lt;br /&gt;Please veto SB 572, “Harvey Milk Day,” due to major problems with this bill:&lt;br /&gt;NO PARENTAL PERMISSION: While schools and school districts get to choose whether to hold “Harvey Milk Day,” SB 572 does not let parents choose whether their children will participate.  The bill has no opt-in or opt-out.  Yet polls show most parents oppose their children participating in “Harvey Milk Day.”  Fathers and mothers deserve your respect and your veto.&lt;br /&gt;INDOCTRINATES CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 5 YEARS OLD: Harvey Milk Day would promote the “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender” agenda of Harvey Milk to up to six million children in public schools, including kindergarteners.  These kids aren’t old enough to be taught about sex, but now they’ll be taught about same-sex “marriages,” cross-dressing and same-sex desires?  This is highly inappropriate.&lt;br /&gt;OVERLY BROAD: SB 572 is written so broadly, the pro-Harvey Milk “exercises” could include gay-pride parades on campus.  The “exercises” are not defined, so the sky is the limit.  Under SB 572, what will children in public schools be taught and how will children’s minds be “exercised?”  The answer is whatever Milk believed or is said to have believed about religion, sexual experimentation, marriage, politics, etc.&lt;br /&gt;OPPOSED BY A STRONG MAJORITY OF CALIFORNIANS: In March 2009, San Francisco TV station KPIX commissioned a poll, which found that a majority of Democrats, independents, Republicans, liberals, moderates and conservatives all opposed a statewide “day of significance” honoring Harvey Milk in schools or in any other state observance.  Only 19 percent supported an official “Harvey Milk Day.”&lt;br /&gt;Parents don’t want and children don’t need “Harvey Milk Day.”  Please veto SB 572.&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;(Sign your name)(Ваша подпись)&lt;br /&gt;(Print your name)(Ваше имя печатными буквами)&lt;br /&gt;(Print your title)(Ваш титул)&lt;br /&gt;(Print the name of your business, church, organization, or school)(Печатными буквами имя Вашего бизнеса, церкви, организации или школы)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;                                                                                           Перевод текста письма на русский язык&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Дорогой Губернатор Шварценеггер!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Церковь…..(имя церкви) очень просит Вас наложить вето на билль SB 572. Мы присоединяемся в огромному большинству родителей и широкому спектру Калифорнийских избирателей, которые не согласны с официальным установлением Дня Харви Милка (день гея Харви Милка) для учеников сдетского сада до 12го класса в государственных общеобразовательных школах.&lt;br /&gt;Пожалуйста наложите вето на этот билль из-за его многочисленных проблем:&lt;br /&gt;НЕТ РОДИТЕЛЬСКОГО СОГЛАСИЯ: в то время, как школы и школьные округа вольны решать отмечать ли им этот день, SB 572 не дает никаких прав родителям избрать, хотят ли они, чтобы их дети принимали участие в этом праздновании. В этом билле нет опции выбора участия или не участия в этом празднике. Социальные опросы по-прежнему показывают, что родители против участия их детей в этом дне- Харви Милка.  Отцы и матери заслуживают Вашего уважения и Вашего вето.&lt;br /&gt;ПРОМЫВАНИЕ МОЗГОВ С ПЯТИЛЕТНЕГО ВОЗРАСТА: День Харви Милка будет навязывать транс-сексуальную, бисексуальную, лейсбийскую и гомосексуальную пропаганду для шести миллионов детей в государственных общеобразовательных школах, включая детские сады. Считается, что эти дети не достаточны взрослые, чтобы их учили сексу, как же им будт преподавать однополые браки, говорить им о желаниях мальчиков носить женскую одежду и о влечении к однополым партнерам? Это абсолютно не подходящие темы для них.&lt;br /&gt;СЛИШКОМ ОБЩИМИ ФРАЗАМИ СФОРМУЛИРОВАН БИЛЛЬ: SB 572 написан таким размытым языком, что "упражнения" по празднованию этого дня на територрии школы могут включать гей-парады. Слову "упражнения" нет определения в билле, так что горизонты для интерпритации открыты. Что именно хотят преподавать детям под прикрытием этого билля и как буду "упражнять" мозги детей? Ответ-таким образом, каким господин Харви Милк считал или высказывал свои мнения по поводу религии, сексуальных экспериментов, брака, политики и так далее.&lt;br /&gt;БОЛЬШИНСТВО КАЛИФОРНИЙЦЕВ ПРОТИВ ЭТОГО БИЛЛЯ: В марте 2009 года, ТВ станция Сан Францизско KPIX провела опрос населения,в результате которого было обнаружено, что большинство Демократов, независимых, Республиканцов, либералов и консервативных избирателей все были против этого дня. Только 19 процентов поддержали такое празднование дня Харви Милка.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Родители не хотят этого дня и не нуждаются в нем. Пожалуйста, наложите вето на этот билль.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5728687156234183423-8719546930185207671?l=usgala.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/feeds/8719546930185207671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5728687156234183423&amp;postID=8719546930185207671' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/8719546930185207671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5728687156234183423/posts/default/8719546930185207671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usgala.blogspot.com/2009/07/ask-your-pastor-to-oppose-harvey-milk.html' title='Ask your pastor to oppose &apos;Harvey Milk Gay Day&apos;'/><author><name>Galina Bondar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13297198164352727576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JnVT_vpbxvU/SZ--VWQXdbI/AAAAAAAAAF4/F4Q3NNwhBSg/S220/galya2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728687156234183423.post-4700001361100802070</id><published>2009-07-25T00:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-25T00:19:08.570-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Band-Aid Budget Passes California Legislature</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- July 24, 2009&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sacramento, California &lt;/b&gt;-- Randy Thomasson, president of &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=173a5e5819&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;SaveCalifornia.com&lt;/a&gt;, a statewide non-partisan pro-family organization, issued the following statement in response to the California Legislature passing a new, short-term budget:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This bad budget is gimmicky, it steals from local governments, incurs more debt obligations, refuses to implement much-needed structural reforms, and continues to use taxpayer dollars to fund all kinds of abortions. This budget fails to make the hard decisions because the Governor and the Republican leaders would not persevere long enough to make the tax-and-spend Democrat politicians agree to eliminate tens of billions of dollars of government waste. This budget is like putting a band-aid on cancer because the cancer of government overspending continues to grow while the average family's financial picture has noticeably shrunk. More than passing a budget, the California Legislature has again passed the buck and kicked the structural problems down the road."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SaveCalifornia.com opposed the budget deal for these reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Paying $9.5 BILLION to the wasteful, dysfunctional state education establishment&lt;/b&gt; in return for the educrats dropping their flimsy lawsuit about Prop. 98. This "payout" and "payoff" is sleight of hand that &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=0dccba31a7&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;implements the ballot-box budgeting of Prop. 1B, which the voters rejected on May 19&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. "Borrowing" $4 BILLION from counties, cities and special districts.&lt;/b&gt; This scheme allowed by the constitution means more debt to pay back. It also means local governments will be sorely tempted to raise local taxes and fees. This local raid is not good for the state or local governments or the people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. No pension reform.&lt;/b&gt; With outrageous examples of government retirees &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=1bd4d6c587&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;receiving 90% to 100% of their working income&lt;/a&gt;, burgeoning pension costs must be curtailed, not simply talked about.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Accounting gimmicks&lt;/b&gt; include "kicking the can down the road" by accelerating income tax withholding, increasing estimated tax payments for businesses and the self-employed, and shifting the last day of pay for state employees ahead into the next fiscal year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Taxpayer-funded abortions&lt;/b&gt;, which Republican legislators claim to oppose and Democrat legislators unanimously support, are still in the budget. &lt;a href="http://savecalifornia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc263a98bdef40ddd99f5fd34&amp;amp;id=a5029fbdab&amp;amp;e=fbdf9ef162" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Tens of millions of dollars are being spent on abortion&lt;/a&gt; and abortion-related programs of Planned Parenthood and their allies.
