UNDER SIEGE
Part 1. Here's what you need to DO about California's proposed vaccine bills + breakdown on each of the worst bills being floated in the legislature
I just returned from a road trip where we traveled halfway across the country, and one thing that profoundly struck me about the Midwest was the sense of freedom that is cultivated there. Sure, I occasionally saw people wearing masks or spotted Covid-19 billboards, but for the most part, the overall attitude in places like Oklahoma or Texas is, “Do what you want, it’s a free country.” For someone like me, who was born and raised in California, I can only describe the feeling of being out of the Golden State as a breath of fresh air.
Here, our freedoms are constantly under attack, and while other states are making moves to end the tyrannical Covid power grabs, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and his posse are busy cooking up ways to make sure they solidify theirs permanently.
Truthfully, the situation looks pretty bleak. Red-blooded conservative voters are fleeing California to settle in other states, leaving liberty-loving citizens like me behind. As conservatives leave, our numbers in California grow smaller, and fighting the corrupt, socialist machine of our state government becomes even harder.
Personally, I would love to be able to stay in California. It’s beautiful here. We are geographically diverse, and I’m within two hours of mountains, oceans, deserts, and scenic cities. Yet, the policies are growing increasingly communistic – and if you think that word is too harsh, maybe you’re just not looking at the proposed legislation being floated in Sacramento right now. You really should.
To stay in California, conservatives have to mobilize to fight the tyranny being pushed on us from our lawmakers. Unfortunately, many Californians, especially so-called Christians, fallaciously believe in the concept of statism, which is the belief that the government and our lawmakers grant us our rights. If you know anything at all about our Constitution and our republic, then you should know that this is a false belief. We the people give our consent to be governed, and if those doing the governing overstep their boundaries, it is our moral duty to put them on notice.
The only way California pulls out of this downward spiral is if good, moral people unite to fight. But, I can attest to the fact that California conservatives are simply terrible at telling people how to fight. How does the average, working person fight this tyranny? How does the stay-at-home mom take a stand? What can we actually do to stop this Marxist revolution that is attempting to burn our freedoms to the ground? It’s a question that I have been asking myself for years.
The first step is to educate yourself on what is going on. No more hiding your head in the sand. No more denying the reality of the war we are in – a war for the rights of our children, and whether or not California will be reduced to an iron-fisted police state.
Understand this: California often attempts to push bills through the legislature when you least expect it. They will distract you with shiny things (“Oh hey, look! We’re dropping school mask mandates! Hooray!”), and in the background, they are clandestinely shoving through some of the most heinous laws proposals you can imagine.
I will do a series on ways we as Californians can fight back, and today is part one: educating ourselves on what’s happening. Let’s go through each of the most horrendous bills that are being proposed by the legislature right now. I am recommending that Californians call their respective legislatures by using the resources available through Freedom Keepers United and taking action to verbally scold California lawmakers for even considering this wicked agenda.
SB 871
Simply put, this law would require all children ages 0 to 17 to receive the Covid-19 vaccine to attend daycare or school. If you think you’re going to get a religious exemption to opt-out of this, think again. They don’t exactly hand out exemptions like candy.
SB 1749
This bill would require that schools continually test their students/faculty for Covid. The cycle of paranoia and idiocy would never end with this. Hello – the tests don’t even work. Can you say, PCR test, anyone? Not even the CDC wants to talk about those anymore. I wonder why?
SB 866
This is a real piece of work. If passed, this law would allow a child between the ages of 12 to 17 to receive a Covid-19 vaccine without parental consent. Isn’t that nice?
SB 1464
This is perhaps the most terrifying of all the bills. If this is signed into law, it will force law enforcement officers to enforce public health orders, effectively turning California into a Stasi-style police state. Certainly, there will be LEOs who will resist this and even resign over it, but the officers who are left will be the ones who will be dragging you to jail for failing to have a vaccine passport to enter In-N-Out Burger.
AB 1993
This is a bill that is designed to destroy the lives of people who have been entrepreneurial and clever enough to outsmart the tyranny of vaccine mandates. This law aims to force all employees – including independent contractors – to show proof of having received the Covid-19 vaccine in order to work. I hope you’re taking this seriously. They are mandating a medical injection in order to have the right to work and therefore pay the bills and feed your family. This is a hellishly dystopian concept and it will drive any vestiges of strong, conservative-voting people out of California – including me. I will not comply. And you should not, either.
AB 2098
Another horrible bill. This would ban doctors from sharing “misinformation” about Covid-19 as unprofessional conduct, and would result in disciplinary action (and probably a licensure revocation). To put this is perspective, let’s say you go to the doctor and she says, “Hey, you know what really works well for Covid? Vitamin D, sunshine…and here, try this medication that’s worked really well on the rest of my patients.” They could be suspended for that, because they are now attempting to give you a simple solution to recovering from Covid, rather than towing the party line and pushing the Covid vaccine. This law, if passed, is an application of socialist medicine. Alternative medical doctors would also be hugely affected by this.
What to do with this information
The above breakdown gives a cursory glance at the worst of the bills. They are proposing some other stuff, and you can check out more info about that on Freedom Keepers or simply look up the bills on California’s Legislative Information website. Yes, it’s that easy. It’s all right there in black and white.
Here are some things you can do this week with the information I’ve included here:
Call your legislatures. Commit to getting 2-4 of your friends or family members to call, as well, and challenge them to do the same. Flood the phone lines and inboxes. Also, send them emails. Lots of emails. Make them aware that each and every single one of these bills will not be tolerated by we the people. Find your legislature right here.
Share this information. Do not keep this to yourself. People must know. Share it on all social media platforms, if you have them. Email the information to your friends. Text people. Call people. Share, share, share. The internet can be a terrible place, but it’s also a great way to get the word out.
Get your church involved. I don’t know how else to say this, but the legislation being put forth is straight-up evil. It’s definitely not Biblically-based legislation. The church needs to be involved in stopping this monstrous attempt to eradicate the rights of families and, especially, children. If nothing else, the church should and must care about this perverted attack on small children. Church must be involved in the civil process. If you disagree, brush up on your history. Without the church’s involvement in the civic process, morality in the country wanes – and we are seeing the effects of watered-down churches and feel-good preaching. Even good theology without practical application is pointless. Church is great for Wednesday night Bible club, but guess what? It’s also the seat of power for the Christian conservative movement to unite and say, “No more abusing the human rights of California citizens.” If your church refuses to get involved in politics, there’s a good chance that they’re a part of the problem.
Get parents involved. People may have differing political opinions, but mostly everyone is united on the fact that children should be protected from governmental abuse, and that Americans should have the right to choose what goes into their bodies. Unite with like-minded parents and keep each other informed and involved in the civic process.
Most importantly, do not comply. It is very easy to comply. To say, “Well, I’ll just put this mask on my child for a few hours, she won’t be that affected by it.” Or, “I’ll just get the Covid-19 shot because I really don’t want to lose my career.” If you give an inch, you will lose everything. California’s lawmakers are counting on you to bow down to their tyranny and their threats because it is the path of least resistance. You must be willing to lose your sense of safety and security to stand up for freedom. To protect your children. STOP complying with this nonsense. They are coming for your babies. They are coming for all of us.
If California passes these bills, myself and many other people I know will be faced with the reality of losing our careers because we will not be compliant with a dictatorial edict that violates our freedom of medical choice. I will be forced to uproot my family and move to another state. And you know what? That’s not easy. I don’t want to leave. California is my home. I love it here. I do not want to cede one more inch of freedom to the raving, lunatic leftists in Sacramento who are hellbent on destroying the lives of families and children.
I think California is worth fighting for.
Today, I’m encouraging you to take action by calling your legislatures and taking information to your church family.
Next time, I will be talking about how restoring election integrity in California could also turn the tide in the Golden State and contribute to restoring our liberty.
Now, go forth and FIGHT.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
