Good Parents in California Could Be Jailed

Posted by GranPa Chuck on Friday, April 11, 2008 11:18:52 PM

April 10, 2008

Californians must rise up now to oppose the new spanking ban, AB 2943. The first vote is Tuesday.
 
April 10, 2008: The legislator who wants to arrest and jail good parents who occasionally spank their children is back with a vengeance.
 
Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, the termed-out Democrat Speaker pro Tempore from the San Jose area, has gutted and amended her bill AB 2943, tranforming it into last year's highly-controversial bill punishing any parent who uses an “implement” to spank their children.
 
AB 2943 would label good, loving parents -- who occasionally use a little paddle, a ruler, a little stick, or a brush to correct their youngster's misbehavior -- as official "child abusers" in the eyes of the law.
 
 
Under AB 2943, police officers, district attorneys, juries, and child protective services will view ALL parents who spank as suspected child abusers worthy of investigation.

 
This bad bill would mean good parents could be arrested and spend the night in jail. Their children would be removed from the home and placed in foster care for "protection." If convicted of using an "implement" to spank their child (even if it was only one time), the parent would be ordered into "nonviolent parental education" and their children could be taken away for four years or more.

PLEASE ACT NOW

AB 2943 is scheduled for a hearing and vote Tuesday, April 15 in the Assembly Public Safety Committee. There are four Democrats and two Republicans on the committee. If this ratio holds firm and one Democrat votes "no" or abstains, AB 2943 would be stopped.
 
Your immediate action is needed. Please contact all the committee members and your own representatives too.

1. Contact the committee members and your own elected representatives in Sacramento

2. Bring yourself and your children to the April 15 hearing at the State Capitol. The committee members need to see and hear from good mothers and good fathers that AB 2943 would tranform into suspected child abusers. We need California moms and dads and their children to pack out the committee room!

Please rearrange your schedule, cancel other activities, put aside your fear, put on faith, and show up to the committee room on Tuesday, April 15. Be prepared to go to the microphone to say your name and why you’re opposed to AB 2943. Ten seconds of speaking is all that is needed. Yes, you can do it.

State Capitol, 10th and L Streets in Sacramento
Room 126 on the first floor near the north side entrance
Assembly Public Safety Committee begins Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 9 a.m.
(Plan to park by 8:15 a.m. and get to the committee room by 8:30 a.m. for limited seating; the committee hearing is expected to last until lunchtime)
God Bless,
GranPa Chuck

Invest in America, Not War in Iraq

Posted by GranPa Chuck on Thursday, April 10, 2008 2:48:18 AM

President Bush has again requested "emergency" funding to continue the occupation of Iraq. He has asked Congress to appropriate more than one hundred billion dollars for fiscal year 2008 to pay for continuing the military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

By pressuring Congress to provide billions of dollars in "emergency" war funding each year, President Bush has tried to hide the true cost of the Iraq occupation by not including it in the Pentagon's operating budget. After five years and five hundred billion dollars sunk into this invasion and occupation, our elected officials should stand up and say "no more."

Click here to take action.

 God Bless, GranPa Chuck

Restore Family Rights~~Sign Our Petition

Posted by GranPa Chuck on Thursday, April 10, 2008 2:35:11 AM
WHAT IF SOMEONE SAID YOU ARE GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT???????
(Learn More) at our Foster Parent Reform Site.
The experiment of Child Protective Services with regard to getting away with the unlawful violation of personal rights as guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States of America, must end. Foster Parents falsely accused of child abuse want their due process under the law. Currently, Foster Parents who are accused of child abuse are treated as though they are already guilty, with no proof of guilt provided by the accuser, namely Child Protection Services. Even if proof of innocence is provided to CPS, those accused of child abuse are still persecuted with no due process of law with serious consequences that result in ruined lives.
Thanks & Please Pass it On.
