Now that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has pledged to veto the "fake reform" state budget, please call California's Republican state legislators who have the power to BLOCK the budget and in the process DEFEAT hundreds of anti-family bills.
Defeat all anti-family bills? Yes, that's the prize. Schwarzenegger has pledged to veto all the bills that reach his desk if a final budget isn't passed by Sept. 30. All Republicans have to do is block the budget!
On Friday, when Schwarzenegger vetoes the "fake reform" budget, Republican lawmakers will need to only hold out 11 more days. It's up to you to motivate them to hold the line. Read CCF's letter PDF
Please call the Republican legislators, despite many having a self-serving "get out of town" mentality. As Senate Republican leader Dave Cogdill quipped Tuesday morning after the "fake reform" budget passed, "Hopefully, he's (Schwarzenegger's) in a flip-flopping mood and he'll sign this thing and we can move on." Move on? What about being a pro-family champion who will stand firm and kill off all the anti-family bills? The power is in the Republicans' hands...and in yours...when you call, call, call them.
In this extraordinary time, every concerned Californian must rise up and demand that the Republicans (who control the budget because of the two-thirds vote requirement) OPPOSE ANY AND ALL BUDGETS until the Sept. 30 bill-signing deadline has come and gone. Republicans must receive so many phone calls that they are convinced to stand on principle and delay passing any budget until October 1. When Republican legislators receive thousands of calls and do their pro-family duty to delay the budget, hundreds of bad bills will be vetoed, including these:
AB 2567 "Gay Day" May 22nd in public schools with "suitable commemorative exercises" for kindergarten on up- See red phone # below
AB 2747 Nurse-assisted suicide via total sedation, causing death by dehydration within 5 to 10 days
AB 3015 Forces foster parents to teach foster children about homosexual-bisexual-transsexual "rights"
SB 908 Requires children in public schools to be taught "global warming" as fact when it's a theory
SB 1322 Allows open communists who advocate government overthrow to be public school teachers
SB 1729 Requires nurses to be "trained" to support homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality
ACT NOW: Please pick up the phone and call as many California Republican state legislators as you can. Urge them to "Vote NO on the budget. Don't pass any budget until October 1st. Defeat all the anti-family bills. I expect you to delay the budget so hundreds of bad bills will be vetoed."
