CA: Stop Bill that Makes Child Kidnapping Easy!

Stop AB 495: California’s Child Traffickers’ and Kidnappers’ Dream Bill!

California’s Assembly Bill 495, deceptively dubbed the “Family Preparedness Plan Act of 2025,” is a dangerous piece of legislation that opens the door wide for child traffickers and kidnappers. California is once again leading the nation in endangering its most vulnerable. Leave it to Democrats to devise yet another way to put children at risk!

Family abductions, which include cases where a relative (typically a parent) takes or keeps a child without legal authority, often during custody disputes, accounted for approximately 49% of all reported child abductions.

AB 495’s alarming provisions permit anyone claiming a “familial or mentoring relationship” or even a distant connection through marriage—up to five degrees removed, including non-blood relatives like step-cousins or ex-spouses—to seize control of a child if they simply state the parents “cannot be found.” This flimsy affidavit grants authority over a child’s schooling, medical procedures, and residence, enabling predators to hide in plain sight. Schools are barred from contacting Child Protective Services when a stranger picks up a child, relying solely on a driver’s license and an unverified form. This isn’t tailored to immigration emergencies—it applies to all children, inviting out-of-state kidnappers to exploit California’s lax system.

Nothing prevents parents from updating authorized pickup lists at the start of the school year to close any gap for predators, rendering AB 495 unnecessary and reckless.

The state’s duty is to protect parentless children through established procedures with oversight, not hand them over to anyone with a piece of paper! This bill ensures unaccounted-for children vanish into the shadows of trafficking networks, leaving grieving parents with no recourse.

Lawmakers are racing to ram this bill through the Senate Appropriations Committee, but we must match their determination with equal fervor. Call your State Senator today and demand a “NO” vote on AB 495 to stop this child trafficker’s dream bill and protect California’s children!

Keep Texas Strong! Stop Shariah Law and Diversity Carve Outs!

  It’s Time to Defend Texas’ Judeo-Christian Soul! Texas, forged in the fires of liberty and faith, stands at a crossroads. Our Lone Star State, a bastion of Judeo-Christian values, faces a relentless siege. Insidious forces—creeping Shariah law, masked as "diversity accommodations," and divisive legislation—threaten to unravel our heritage, turning Texas into a shadow of Medina, a fractured "Texistan" where our traditions are crushed. Bills like HB1805, HB667, and HB1044 push Shariah-compliant exceptions in law and policy, while resolutions like HR32, HR34, HR40, HR182, HR530, HR561, and HR614 carve out special privileges—Ramadan nods and Muslim heritage months—that mock our unity. Even HR45’s 2017 stand against foreign laws falters under this tide. This is no mere policy shift—it’s a cultural betrayal! The evidence is stark. The East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) spews anti-"Zionist" venom, lionizing Hamas terrorists, while Governor Abbott’s 2025 crackdown...

Defund Extremist, Pro-Hamas Organizations!

Recent events have raised significant concerns regarding the funding of extremist groups and organizations that promote illegal activities and violence.     On October 18, pro-terrorist insurrectionists stormed the United States Capitol following a rally organized by two anti-Israel groups, IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace.  These groups have publicly issued statements that either justified or rationalized terrorist acts against Israelis. Such rhetoric not only fuels hatred but also endangers innocent lives and undermines peace efforts. These organizations, including IfNotNow and others, have been the beneficiaries of substantial funding, particularly from individuals like George Soros.  The tax code prohibits the funding of groups that primarily engage in activities that encourage violations of local ordinances and breaches of public order.  This financial support is not only a violation of the law but also raises ethical concerns about the responsibility of...

  Sexual Predators Belong Behind Bars, Not in the Classrooms! Time to move high-priority bills HB 1097 and HB 1255 from committee and force swift passage to protect our kids from unchecked sexual predation in our public schools! Reportedly, Texas schools sexual assault records for just the last 3 years include:  -6,654 cases of alleged sexual misconduct  remain unresolved, meaning potential predators are still in classrooms. - 52,782 total complaints  against Texas educators have been recorded. -44,349 educators were flagged as  Do Not Hire ,  yet enforcement actions remain inconsistent or nonexistent. -38,778 cases were reported  but never formally opened for investigation, raising serious questions about the TEA’s responsiveness.This systemic failure allows alleged predators to remain in Texas classrooms, unchecked and uninvestigated—a direct violation of Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) legal  obligations.Help  us break out high-priorit...
