Call on SB 1437 - the School Instruction Prohibition of Discriminatory

This is so important! Just follow the instructions at the bottom of the email.

This is called SB 1437 the School Instruction Prohibition of Discriminatory Content Bill.

Here is what Capitol Resources says.

Capitol Update

SB 1437 - a bill that would require history and social science textbooks to highlight and promote homosexual and transsexual historical figures -
passed the state Senate by only two votes.

One of the main arguments offered by supporters of SB 1437 is that "more
'role models' could help reduce the social estrangement and high suicide
rates of gay and lesbian students."

The ironic thing about SB 1437 is that California public school students
are not currently required to learn about such important historical figures
such as George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. Nor are they required to learn any details of the Civil War.

If SB 1437 passes, however, young students will be required to learn about
the sex lives of extremely peripheral, unimportant persons throughout our
history.

All: I just made this call - it's exactly as described in the directions.
Easy and something we should take the time to do. Thx. Cathy

Angelides Wins California Primary, Republicans Keep House Seat

...Former congressman Brian Bilbray won a special election to keep a U.S. House seat in Southern California in Republican hands, as a massive infusion of party resources and money overcame voter dissatisfaction with congressional corruption scandals.

June 7 (Bloomberg) -- State Treasurer Phil Angelides won California's Democratic gubernatorial primary and will take on Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in a battle over taxes, school funding and environmental policy this November.

Angelides, 52, a multimillionaire former land developer, defeated state Controller Steve Westly, 49, an ex-EBay Inc. executive, by 48 percent to 44 percent in yesterday's primary with 82 percent of voting precincts counted. Westly pumped $27 million of his own money into his failed bid. Schwarzenegger, 58, with no major Republican opposition, took 90 percent of the vote in his primary.

Though Democratic voters outnumber Republicans by 43 percent to 34 percent, incumbents and Republicans both historically have an advantage in California governor's races, and Schwarzenegger's popularity is reviving after hitting bottom in 2005, polls show. The winner on Nov. 7 may be decided by voters who don't identify with either party. Read More & "Pray the News"
