Going into 2020, there are things you can be glad about as a pro-family Californian. And there are good deeds that you can do, both now and in the New Year!
Hi All,
Here are 5 reasons that I'm anticipating some good things in 2020. I hope you're stimulated and encouraged by these thoughts too.
1. You can be glad more parents are rescuing their children
With the California Democrat-run Legislature's 11 school sexual indoctrination laws (AB 329plus these 10 others), one of my top thrills is whenever I hear about another child being rescued from the government school system. So, you can imagine how I felt receiving the following note from Robin, a California mom who's been learning from SaveCalifornia.com. You'll enjoy it too!
"I first heard of your campaign through my daughter's kindergarten public school teacher. We shared our faith and she encouraged me to subscribe. Through the information I gathered from your blogs and email campaigns, and a bothersome new mindfulness meditation practice at the public school amongst other secular practices, I made the decision to move my daughter to private Christian school. I now have peace of mind as to what my daughter is being taught and exposed to, and have much more input and authority over it. I cannot thank you enough for all your insight and encouragement. Keep fighting the good fight...our families depend on it! God Bless!!"
2. You can be glad more church congregations will be getting security
With all of us horrified by the weekend's church shooting in Texas, you can bet that more congregations will get the idea that they should train at least one male churchgoer to shoot and stop an invading murderer. And despite this hard subject, we all should be very glad when a good guy with a gun takes down the bad guy with his gun. Because with the rise of atheism and immoral, unfair wrath against peaceful religions, no church can say, "It can't happen to us." And I hope no pastor will be paralyzed into a false sense of security by thinking, "God's in control." Truly, our main thought here needs to be loving our neighbor, by preventing harm to our neighbor. And for Christians, closer than neighbors are the brethren, who we should love with a whole heart.
In 2019, there were at least two shootings at a California houses of worship -- in April, at a Jewish synagogue in San Diego County, and, in February, at a Protestant church in Sacramento County. Ready to explore a murder-prevention plan for your church congregation? Here's a good-reputation training ministry that can help.
3. You can be glad that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is getting much better
As SaveCalifornia.com has been reporting, one of the very best things President Donald Trump has done is to mostly nominate constitutional, originalist judges to the federal court. Benefiting the most is the notoriously liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, headquartered in San Francisco. Packed with the judicial activists of three Democrat presidents (Carter, Clinton, Obama), this 29-judge appellate bench for decades has trampled our First and Second Amendments, brazenly trying to redefine federal laws in their own immoral image.
So, it's a relief that the Trump Administration has taken the advice of the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation to find judicial nominees for vacancies on the Ninth Circuit, who will abide by the clearly written laws and their original intent. As the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate quickly confirms more of these originalist nominees, the Ninth Circuit is expected to lose its liberal, Democrat majority as soon as in 2020.
This could mean victories for the First Amendment's free speech and religious freedom and freedom of the press provisions (think what this could mean for the pro-life undercover journalists of The Center for Medical Progress). And we could see wins for the Second Amendment (such as overturning the pro-criminal California Democrats' laws limiting the rights of law-abiding gun owners). What's more, a constitutional Ninth Circuit could result in federal immigration laws being enforced, overturning the unconstitutional, anti-American laws of California's Democrat-run government. Get ready for some legal victories in 2020!
4. You can be glad for the 2020 election year
Please forgive me if I say I look forward to elections. Because when we complain about bad government, an election year is our opportunity to multiply good votes by informing and motivating as many people as possible to vote right. If we care about people, we must be righteously indignant when bad, corrupt government harms anyone. So replacing immoral, self-serving politicians with moral public servants is a priority and is definitely needed, at the local, state, and federal level.
I'm hoping that pro-family candidates from California will take back seats in the House of Representatives in 2020. Recapturing Republican seats that were lost in 2018 should be the priority of pro-family Californians. But please don't support just any Republican. For example, in 2017, there were four California Republican congressmen that joined the Democrats House members in forcing you to fund sex-change surgeries in the U.S. military.
But winning state legislative seats, county seats, city seats, and even small district seats is something we should think about and desire. Because each of us can make more of a difference than we thought. For example, we can make our own local voter guides and distribute them; we can harness the power of social media; we can volunteer for a good candidate; we can recruit a moral, pro-family candidate; we can motivate good-hearted pastors; and we can donate money or skills to a worthy campaign. In the New Year, if you want to make more of a difference in your local elections, please call SaveCalifornia.com for advice at 916-265-5650.
5. You can be glad you're not the only one with your values
As a Californian with moral values, it's easy to feel lonely. You might feel so used to losing, you've become cynical. In fact, you might be reading this, and think "What's the use?" But be encouraged that, in the last census, it was reported that, "With close to 15.8 million Christian adherents, California reported the highest number of Christian adherents ... Around 10 percent of the nation's Christians reside in California."
Now, even though the survey identified as "Christian" any person who claimed they were Christian (whether Protestant, Catholic, LDS, Jehovah's Witnesses, Unitarian, etc.), it's still encouraging to think about great potential for informing and activating California's pro-family movement. You and I -- and biblical pastors -- need to stop and realize there are lots of people in our congregations and communities who think about the difference between right and wrong in God's sight. And they'd like "permission" to openly discuss moral, social, and fiscal issues, the causes of problems, and the discovery of solutions. So, in 2020, please join me in talking to others about public problems, especially problems affecting children, and the important solutions too.
Lastly, I want to thank the good-hearted Californians who have lovingly helped SaveCalifornia.com here at the end of the year. I appreciate you putting your beliefs into action! And if haven't given your year-end gift yet, please know that SaveCalifornia.comcould really use your help by December 31. We'll use your donation to expose the Left, report the truth, and champion your values. Thank you for your serious consideration. Together, let's fight the good fight, both now and in 2020!
For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
