Most people freeze when it’s time to share the Gospel. This makes it easy. Share it. “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (Romans 10:15) Who will you send this to?

Rep. Vince Fong, R-Calif., said voter ID "is basic election security that the vast majority of Americans support, and 36 states already require." "While opponents are resorting to lies and fearmongering, Proposition 39 is commonsense reform in a world where you need an ID to rent a car, stay at a hotel, open a bank account or board a flight," Fong told Fox News Digital. "The DOJ's recent voter fraud bust in California is exactly why these safeguards matter." foxnews.com/politics/house-d…

Roman Catholicism’s claim to institutional authority rests on its later dogmas about Mary & Peter. Paul never mentions Mary. When he does mention Peter, it’s only to treat him as an equal or to correct his pride & hypocrisy. If the real Mary & Peter had been what Rome claims, why wasn’t Paul preaching it everywhere he went?
You can’t preach the Gospel without Mary.

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 44 forces community clinics to arbitrarily spend 90 cents of every dollar on patient care. They spend about 80 now. Miss the number, pay a fine. The state decides what counts. A clinic that cannot hit 90 spends its time on paperwork & penalties instead of patients & outcomes. Vote NO. Force clinics to hit 90%. Yes or no?

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 5 changes a statewide recall. Today you vote to fire the official & pick the replacement on the same ballot. This takes away the second vote. Someone else fills the seat later. You do not get to choose that day. Vote NO. Take away your vote on the replacement. Yes or no?

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 38 borrows $8.4 billion for immune-system research. Half goes to one institute the state picks. Half goes out as grants. You pay the bond back, about $500 million a year. Once the money is paid out, the measure does not control how it is spent or require it to reach actual research. Vote NO. Hand over $8.4 billion with no spending controls. Yes or no?

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 37 allows the state to borrow up to $25 billion for second loans on new homes. A buyer could cover 17% of the price & only put 3% down. The buyer pays it back, not the state. Easy money pushes home prices up. Vote NO. Should the state help push home prices up? Yes or no?

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 41 says a new state tax cannot be written to dodge the spending cap. It also requires an audit of any new special tax before you vote on it. Vote YES. Should a new tax have to be audited & follow the spending cap? Yes or no?

Denaturalize & deport.
BREAKING: Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) home was raided by the Feds this morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.

This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.” foxnews.com/politics/ilhan-o…

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 4 lifts the ban on tax money for political campaigns. It allows the state & cities to pay for political candidates’ ads & consultants. Vote NO. Should your taxes pay for politicians’ campaigns? Yes or no?

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 43 makes it harder to raise a local tax. Today just over half the votes can pass one. This raises that bar to two-thirds. Vote YES. Should a new local tax need a clear two-thirds majority of the vote? Yes or no?

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 2 lets Sacramento keep twice as much of your tax money in a savings account. Right now, when they collect too much, some has to come back to you. This makes that harder. Vote NO. Should Sacramento keep more of your taxes? Yes or no?

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 42 bans new state taxes on what you already own. Savings, business, personal property. It also blocks some taxes from reaching back to last year. Prop 40 opens that door. Prop 42 shuts it. Vote YES. Ban taxes on what you own. Yes or no?

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 40 puts a 5% tax on what CA billionaires own. About 200 people. Not what they earned. What they already have. France tried it. People left & the tax was repealed. It will not stop at billionaires. Vote NO Tax what people own. Yes or no?

Gavin Newsom will clear 563 murderers off death row, including the man who murdered 12-year-old Polly Klaas, while he lets California murder babies & mutilate children with no limits. Evil incarnate.

Let’s talk Kern. Measure Z raises sales tax on everything you buy in Kern County for the CALM zoo in Bakersfield. It stays until voters repeal it. The Superintendent of Schools already runs & funds CALM. This is extra. Vote NO. Tax every purchase in Kern for a zoo. Yes or no?

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 3 makes a temporary tax on high earners permanent. It was supposed to end in 2031. Push the rate high enough & they leave. Keep penalizing success & California will collect nothing. Vote NO. Make a temporary tax permanent. Yes or no?

Let’s talk California props. Proposition 39 requires a government ID to vote in person, or the last four digits of that ID on a mail ballot. No ID? The state will give you one free. You already show ID for beer, NyQuil & a bank account. Vote YES. Require ID to vote. Yes or no?
