Important Update!

Governor Vetoes SB 1437!

Keep the Pressure Up on AB 606 and AB 1056 by Emailing Now!
 

Meredeth Richey, President, United Families CaliforniaDear Friend of the Family,

Responding to the increasing pressure and growing outrage of tens of thousands of Californians, Governor Schwarzenegger today vetoed SB 1437. This is a great victory and I want to thank the thousands of you who e-mailed the governor through our Web site and called in response to our alerts.

YOU made all the difference!

However, we still have to keep the pressure up on two other very dangerous bills also on the governor's desk, AB 606 and AB 1056 In the guise of teaching "tolerance" and "preventing harassment" these bills would also require our schools to indoctrinate our school children to accept homosexuality, bi-sexuality and transgenderism as normal and acceptable behaviors and lifestyles. (See brief summary below)

Only a veto by the governor will prevent them from becoming law.

Please take the following actions immediately:

  1. Contact Governor Schwarzenegger and urge him to veto these 2 bills. If possible call him at 916-445-2841 and leave a recorded message. You can do this anytime of the day or night. State your name and address so he will know you are a constituent, mention the two bills by number and briefly say why your are opposed to them, such as that it is not appropriate for the schools to be indoctrinating our kids in this way.

    If you prefer, you can also use the special feature on our Web site to send him a suggested e-mail message, which you can also modify as you wish. Click here.
  2. Help us spread the word to other California residents who may not be aware of the dangers posed by theses bills and who will also contact the governor. An easy way to do this is to forward this alert on to others on your list.

    Or, if you prefer, you can also use the special feature we have set up on our Web site to send a suggested e-mail message to them which you can also edit as you wish. Click here.
  3. Consider making a tax deductible contribution to help us stop these damaging bills. All contributions made to United Families International through our California Web site will go entirely to support our efforts in California.

Time is very short. The governor could decide whether or not to veto these bills at any time.

Please act today!

Meredith Richey

President, United Families California


Brief Description of AB 606 and AB 1056

AB 606 would authorize the Superintendent of Public Instruction to withhold state education funding from any school district that is not implementing a state mandated policy to prevent "discrimination and harassment based on specified characteristics, including, but not limited to, actual or perceived gender identity and sexual orientation." It further requires the Superintendent to develop this policy and, by giving him the power to withhold a district's funding, also effectively gives him the power to force all school districts to accept and implement it.

AB 1056 would divert $250,000 in scarce education dollars to promote homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism as normal and acceptable behaviors and lifestyles under the guise of tolerance education.
