"Save Our Kids" Campaign Reception Next Tuesday

This came over the transom last night:

SAVE OUR KIDS

Authorized and paid for by Larry Dick for Assembly # 1296861

November 19, 2007

Dear Friend,

I write to you today as a husband and a father. I have joined our friends at the Capitol Resource Family Impacts referendum campaign to stop the implementation of SB 777 - an outrageous bill that threatens the fabric of our families by forcing the homosexual agenda into our schools. Simply put, phrases like ..mom and dad. or…husband and wife, would be eliminated from our schools.

The bill is so vague that School Boards across the state could interpret it to mean equal time for homosexual and transgender instruction along with normal heterosexual instruction. Can you trust the San Francisco Unified School Board Trustees to value reading and writing over homosexual indoctrination?

This bill will force teachers, whose salaries we pay for, to read Johnny has Two Fathers alongside The Cat in the Hat during reading period in elementary schools.  I was shocked to learn that, under this law, it would be considered discriminatory not to allow a boy who .perceives himself. as a girl to have access to the girl’s locker room.

Our referendum will stop this nonsense.

Californians have every reason to be very skeptical of the liberal legislature when it embraces such cornerstones of the homosexual agenda as does this bill. Both the 2003 Recall of Gray Davis and the 2004 Referendum of SB 2 (California’s version of HillaryCare) was successful because people stood up to the liberals and said enough is enough!

The Save Our Kids campaign just received approval from the Attorney General to begin circulating petitions to place this issue before the voters. We have less than 90 days to gather 500,000 signatures and that’s why we need your help.

For our common sense, pro-family referendum to succeed we need you to stand shoulder to shoulder with us. We are asking for your money and/or your time. A referendum campaign is similar to a recall campaign. It’s a short but intense period of time. Running a referendum campaign in a state with 38 Million residents is tough...tough but manageable if we have the support of conservatives such as yourself. We must act quickly!

The most immediate step you can take is to please join me on Tuesday, November 27th, 2007 at 5:30 pm at the offices of Buck Johns, Inland Group Inc., 3501 Jamboree Road, South Tower Suite 606 Newport Beach* and join the Save Our Kids campaign.

If you can’t contribute financially to our cause please take the time to ask just 10 of your friends and family to sign the petition.

Sincerely,

Larry Dick

Husband, Father and Co-Chairman of the Save our Kids Campaign.

P.S. Together we can save our kids from liberals that want to delete all references of the traditional family from our schools.

Comments

[The Mechanical Eye]

Ohhh, scary. God save us all from San Francisco and those icky gay people! The traditional family is doomed!

Does this fellow think he can literally scare people into supporting him on this silly venture? Not the way to build long-term success, I think.

DU

[silly ploy]

Sounds like a desperate appeal to be relevant. Larry failed to rally people behind his campaign and now he is trying to get them to rally around something else. I wonder how much money he had to spend for the silly title. If the initiative fails to qualify will Larry Dick be considered a failure too.

[Oro-agua]

It's a shame that Larry Dick calls himself a Republican when he is advocating for the government to be even more involved with our lives by asking our government to limit what our children learn in schools to what him and other political preachers believe.

[desperate]

Good lord, is this what Larry Dick has to do to draw attention to his campaign?

Oh and yeah, this initiative has no chance of qualifying. Talk about pandering...

[rebecca]

What's "normal heterosexual instruction"? And don't teachers get arrested for that?

[Real Goldwater]

Oro-aqua:

It's SB 777 that places limitations on what can be taught. You should reserve your outrage for the liberals who use bills like this to impose political correctness on curriculum.

[Richard Rios]

Oro-aqua:

I agree with Real Goldwater. Your comments do not correctly address the issue of SB777. The bill will impose greater control on many different facets of our education system.

From a historical perspective, the bill would open the door for equal representation of events. So, if a history book wrote about George Washington and his wife it would have to also have equal mention of alternative lifestyle couples of that time period. This is not a reasonable or accurate representation of that time period.

Think of the fiscal impact if someone wanted to enforce the costs of repurchasing text books in our schools. They are in trouble enough and considering the fiscal emergency the State of California will be in next year do we really want to open that door?

I am more concerned with teaching our kids facts and not worrying about political correctness or whose feelings it might hurt.

Additionally, the bill opens the door for transgender adolescence to use opposite sex lockers. Basically, since there is not litmus test so to speak, if a high school linebacker wanted to hang out in the locker room while the cheerleaders where showering he could just say he "feels" like a female that day. The school would be restricted from denying him access because it might infringe on his right to declare his sexuality.

There is more to consider her than the feelings of a minority. What about the safety and privacy of our female children. Don't their 'feelings' count?

This is a VERY bad bill for our kids, our schools, and sets a despicable precedence on big government telling us how to raise our kids.

BTW, yes it will get the signatures necessary.

I am not comfortable with my daughter changing clothes along side a male, who has a penis, in the girls locker room. I agree that the feelings of the female locker room should be considered. I personally do not want to share the bathroom with a man that feels he is a woman. Is that discrimination? Is it violation of free speech for my children to say Homosexuality is not what God has planned... in a public school...
Why is the Bible illegal but my children must learn about "alternative lifestyles?"

[redperegrine]

Crystal, you must seriously consider some sort of intellectual collaboration with rich white guy. The two of you could really come up with something magnificent.

[Confused]

I'm completely confused. I thought California schools were failing. Why would California want to spend valuable instruction time talking about non essentials? To me, the essentials are Math, Language Arts, History, Physical Education, and Science. Am I missing something here? How can educating our children about sexuality improve mandated test scores and drop out rates? I'm embarrassed that our schools are amongst the worst performing in the nation. Exactly what is the percentage of California's budget that is allocated to education? Perhaps an audit of that allocation is warranted. Exactly what is this sexual orientation program going to cost the state of California?

I'm also wondering where a state that is in a deficit, finds money to cycle out curriculum to feature the homosexual/transgender lifestyle. Maybe that's a big priority to special interest groups, but it's not exactly a priority to me. Everything costs money. I'd rather see a transit system or the promised Bypass actually come to Lincoln. What a waste of money. When your state is in the hole, you do not throw away perfectly good textbooks to throw in fluff.

This makes no sense. Could somebody help me understand.

[Crystal]

Why didn't the people of Calfornia get to vote on SB777? This bill affects all public and charter schools.
