Update on California Laws that could affect Freedom of Speech and Religion.
NOTE: This article is an update to our articles Freedom of Speech on the World Wide Web: Under Assault and 3 New California Bills that will attack both the Freedom of Speech and Religion
At this time we would like to offer you an update on 3 different Bills that we previously brought to your attention:
Bill #1:California Assembly bill 1424:
This bill (if passed) would basically mean that before the residents of California could post anything on the internet but their post would first have to be approved by a third party. The unknown third party would verify the information to make sure it is factual before it could be truly posted for others to see. This bill was passed by Senate 25 to 11.
As of May 31st, 2018 the bill is "In Assembly", "Read first time" and "Held at Desk", which means that it’s awaiting referral to a committee. Normally, the California State Assembly will assign a proposed bill to the same committees that reviewed the bill in the senate. You can read our previous article about this bill here.
Bill #2 California Assembly bill 2943:
This bill would theoretically outlaw helping ANYONE with unwanted same-sex desires or "gender confusion" with "traditional views". It also states it will prohibit resources concerning treatment or ministry in order to reduce or eliminate same sex attraction or gender dysphoria. Essentially, conferences, counseling, teaching, BOOKS, or PUBLICATIONS, wherever money is exchanged for resources, would be prohibited... This secretly means it could ban Holy Scriptures (such as the Holy Bible, Holy Koran, Torah and so on). You can read our article on this bill here
This bill passed on April 19th, 2018 with a vote of 50 to 18 and was passed to the Senate. As of May 30th, 2018 it as already been read by Senate twice and was amended and sent back for the final vote.
Bill #3: California Assembly bill 2119
This bill is for Foster care children that will grant “gender affirming” health care (such as counseling, drugs, and operations. You can read our article on this bill here
On May 30th, 2018 this bill has had it's first senate reading and was referred to a committee. All bills have 3 readings at which time a vote is cast on the third vote if passed than the bill passes.
As in our earlier article we would like to point out that once bills like these become laws in just one state it will start happening in others. (Like setting up Dominoes to all start falling down... "It starts with one") Before you know it the whole country will have these laws in effect and then onto the others. Laws like these can affect everybody even if you don't care about the nature of these bills. This is an attempt to take away a freedom that is ours. Once they start taking our freedoms from us it is only a matter of time before we have no freedom. We would really like to hear what you have to say on these three bills and what they mean to you. Please leave your thoughts, comments and/or concerns below. As always thank you for taking your time to read our article.

I think the second they pass these, that a large mass of conservative people need to willingly and openly violate them. Force the state to expend massive resources they don't have prosecuting these cases all the way to the SCOTUS. CA is already broke. Force the issue. Take a play from Alinsky's playbook and force them to taste their own medicine.
That is a GREAT idea and hopefully the residents of California will do just that. The way it is looking all three bills will pass so people do need to do something. We (TBL is a team) would openly violate them if they become laws in our state. It seems here recently CA has become the "testing" ground for the Government to take away peoples freedoms.
Thanks. Got any contacts to groups in CA?
No we do not have any groups in CA. Hopefully people that live in CA will see this or people reading this will spread the word.
That's a shame. There are lots of conservatives in northern and and eastern CA, and in Orange County.
Hopefully the conservatives that are there will pull together.
CA is broke. Couldn't have said it better in a 1000 years trying.

Thank you @koltci that quote is very fitting!
Good job @truthbeyondlies! all laws that limit freedom of worship, transit and religion should be rejected, human nature essentially has something called resistance to change, people should be less passive to this type of information, should create communication centers to warn the consequences if this is approved, everything must be discussed! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Any law that takes away a freedom is just bad for us in the end. It will only get worse, we will start to notice that more and more of our freedoms will be taken away. Before we know it we will be asking if it is ok to use the restroom...Ok so maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration but the point is that they have been taking our rights and freedoms away for awhile now... Since 9/11 look at how much we have lost but it has been done so smoothly that people do not really think about what we have lost. We have no right to privacy now because we allowed them to give it up.
Yea its a one way street through and its a certain group pushing it so they have all the power
IMO, this is what happens when you take God out of everything. Cali has a spirit of anti-christ in most of it's laws and how the state is governed.
We (TBL is a team) where you are coming from and I (not speaking for my partner on this part) agree.
Its time for conservatives to take a stand in California. We really are the true party of freedom. All these laws are meant to keep older traditional people down and to brainwash our younger generation. I hope they get turned down sooner rather than later but if they pass I hope California at least becomes the poster child for hipocracy and failure.
@feelsomoon You are so very right! Laws like this are to destroy traditional views and brainwash the youth. "They" want to destroy the traditional family!
AB 2382
Expands the definition of a "Firearm":
"Existing law generally requires the sale or transfer of firearms to be conducted through a licensed firearms dealer."
Requires licensed dealer for the sale and distribution of "Precursor Parts":
"This bill would, commencing July 1, 2020, require the sale of firearm precursor parts, as defined, to be conducted by or processed through a licensed firearm precursor part vendor."
"Commencing January 1, 2020, the bill would require a person or business to have a valid firearm precursor part vendor license to sell more than one firearm precursor part in any 30-day period."
"The bill would make it a misdemeanor to sell or give possession of a firearm precursor part to a person under 21 years of age."
"(5) An unfinished handgun frame." Defined as a "Precursor Part" subject to licensing and registration - FYI, this is targeting what is known as 80% Lower Receivers, which are NOT defined as firearms per the BATF.
Thank you for that information @gtrp! The more that people are informed the better off they are. They have been trying to take our second admitted right for a long time now and slowly they are.
