The California Legislature Adjourns for 2009

SACRAMENTO – Last Friday, members of the California Legislature concluded the 2009 legislative session and headed back to their districts. The results of their effort left Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to consider a mixed bag of new bills for his signature into law, or veto. While the most serious issues facing the state - such as water supply and fiscal responsibility - went unresolved by legislators, the persistent efforts to influence innocent young minds went unimpeded. The Legislature’s majority voted to create an annual day of commemoration in public schools to honor a man for his homosexual orientation. And, disregarding the will of California’s voters to protect traditional marriage, the Legislature passed another measure that would allow more same-sex marriages to be recognized in the state. 
 
Please join with California Family Council and numerous other local, state and national organizations by taking action. Contact the governor’s office and request a veto of these egregious bills. Your voice DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE! The time is now. Help protect California’s children and families!
 
·       REQUEST A VETO of SB 54 (Leno) – This measure would require the state to validate and recognize same-sex marriages performed outside of California prior to November 5, 2008.
 
·       REQUEST A VETO of SB 572 (Leno) – This measure would require the governor to annually proclaim May 22 a day of “significance” honoring homosexual icon Harvey Milk, a former San Francisco politician. The measure would also encourage schools to sacrifice classroom time in order to conduct “commemorative” exercises.
 
·       REQUEST A VETO of SB 471 (Romero) – This measure would create the Stem Cell and Biotechnology Education and Workforce Development Act of 2009, which attempts to further the development of this morally questionable technology.

The governor has persistently stated that he only wants bills on his desk that address the largest, most pressing problems of the state. These include solving water storage and distribution, as well as the ever-present budget shortfalls and deficit spending. He has stated previously that he will veto bills that do not address these issues. Please encourage him to do so.
