| PJI sues to halt City of Los Angeles from cheating employees out of religious accommodations September 15, 2021 Media Contact: Brad Dacus, 916-616-4126 (Spanish: 206-257-3239)LOS ANGELES—Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) and affiliate attorney Daniel Watkins filed a federal lawsuit last week on behalf of Los Angeles Police Department employees to bar the City from depriving employees of their rights to seek religious accommodations to the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The City announced a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on August 20, 2021, for not only full-time and part-time City employees, but also individuals such as volunteers, interns, 120-day retired employees, and elected officials. The City set a deadline of September 7 for employees to submit religious accommodation requests and comply with mask requirements, physical distancing, weekly COVID-19 testing, and vaccine training. However, neither the City nor the LAPD implemented a procedure to submit or review religious accommodation requests before the deadline, leaving hundreds of LAPD employees with no choice but to submit religious accommodation requests without direction. The LAPD obstructed the processing of nearly half of those religious accommodation requests and has not yet processed the rest. Unvaccinated LAPD employees who sought accommodations have since endured an onslaught of hostile demands, threats of being terminated, and accusations from commanding officers, such as statements that they lack “sympathy and caring” for COVID-19 issues and that they are “unfit to wear the uniform.” On Friday, September 10, the City at last provided an online portal for employees to submit their accommodation requests. But the City announced that the portal would close on Monday, September 13, and would not accept requests submitted outside the short 72-hour window. “PJI stands with these LAPD employees who, instead of being provided an avenue to exercise their constitutional and statutory rights to request accommodations, were shamed and cheated out of those rights by their own Department,” stated Brad Dacus, President of PJI. “We have asked the court to require the City to respect and immediately accommodate employees who have sincerely held religious beliefs.” PJI and Daniel Watkins of Watkins & Letofsky, LLP initiated this case, Burcham, et al. v. City of Los Angeles, et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-07296, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. To see the Complaint filed in this case, click here. |

Riverside County, CA Sheriff Chad Bianco: I Will Not Enforce Vaccine Mandates
Statement from Sheriff Chad Bianco:
Later today a local newspaper will publish a story about our last podcast concerning forced vaccinations. The reporter will use cherry picked statements from supposed health experts in an attempt to paint me and the Sheriff’s Department in a negative light. This is nothing but sensationalism trying to gain readership and further divide us as Americans.Over the past couple of weeks, the idea of forced vaccination has caused much concern across the entire country. There is absolutely nothing in my podcast that was incorrect or irresponsible.
It is factual and common sense based. To repeat the context of the podcast, I will not enforce the vaccine mandate on Sheriff’s Department employees.The information I have about Covid and the vaccines is easily found and available for anyone wanting to find it.In November 2018 the residents of Riverside County elected me as their Sheriff. I stood before God and swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of California.
It is my responsibility to protect the public from the criminal element, as well as being the last line of defense from tyrannical government overreach. The government has no ability and no authority to mandate your health choices. As your Sheriff I have an obligation to guard your liberty and freedom.I am certainly not anti-vaccine. I am anti-vaccine for me. That decision should be made in consultation with your doctor after discussing the potential benefit and the potential negative side effects.It is time our government and our politicians come to the realization that the only reason they exist is because “we the people” formed our government to secure the blessings of individual liberty and freedom.

Save California Update: This is a War (Without Guns and Knives)
| SaveCalifornia.com — Championing Your Values in CaliforniaSaveCalifornia.com provides this solely for educational purposes and does not support or oppose candidates for public office.Hi Arthur, This is one of the most important messages I’ve ever written. I hope you’ll read it!Will Gavin Newsom be replaced by another Democrat? Looks at this August 26-29 Trafalgar Group poll of more than a thousand likely California voters. For Question 2 in the Gavin Newsom Recall Election, it shows a potentially close race between Republican frontrunner Larry Elder and Democrat Kevin Paffrath. This is from one of the most accurate U.S. pollsters. And while the poll mistakenly left out Kevin Kiley, that still doesn’t change the big math problem for conservatives. Because with the way California conservatives are splitting their votes between several Republican candidates, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Democrat voters surge and cast more votes for the leading Democrat than conservatives’ votes for the leading Republican. This is why I’m urging California conservatives to do three things right now, as the September 14 voting deadline looms: Note which candidates can winSee the public policy positions of the front-runner candidates at SaveCalifornia.comVote and get others to vote like you (use email, social media, flyers on cars, etc.) SaveCalifornia.com’s research has found none of the candidates showing up in the several recall polls to be consistent, constitutional conservatives. However, there are definitely “mostly conservative” and “liberal Republican” candidates running. See them So, without telling you who to vote for, if you want conservative values to win, you’ll want to support the mostly-conservative front-runner. Or else conservative votes will be split, and a Democrat could replace a Democrat (if most voters vote “yes” to recall Newsom).  It’s a real war without guns and knivesThis week I was walking to my car in a large parking lot and saw an older lady standing by her car waiting. She had a face mask drooping under her neck, so I tried to encourage her by saying, “Good to see you breathing freely!” And that started a conversation. “I’m sick of wearing this mask,” she said. “And I’m fully vaccinated!” And in the next few minutes, I was able to educate her on mask inefficiency, how natural immunity occurs and how viruses naturally burn out, how the “variants” are caused by vaccines, and how the government mandates are dehumanizing and evil. She said, “It seems endless.” I told her, “It’ll end when people stop complying.” And what I told her I’ll tell you: Don’t comply with tyranny, and encourage others to break free from it. Employees threatened by the risky “jab” that has killed tens of thousands and injured millions must submit their requests for religious exemptions. Small business owners must defy county mask mandates (which are largely unenforced by “authorities”). Residents of mask-mandating counties must walk into businesses without masks, whether with or without declaring an exemption. We must remind ourselves and others what true freedom (our God-given liberties) looks like. Because when we do, the deceptive power of tyranny dissipates, and we realize fighting for freedom was mainly about overcoming our own fears and fleshiness. Take a lesson from history. The freedom fighters of World War II — like the French Resistance pictured above — won their freedom because they were willing to endure pain and even death. When we endure people’s ridicule and opposition, or endure government’s warnings and fines, we both fight for freedom and strengthen our characters. And the need is great. We must see our current struggle as a real war without guns or knives. The Tyrannical Left wants to dehumanize you and take everything from you. This is diabolical evil that King Jesus, our U.S. Constitution, and you and I oppose. Let’s redouble our efforts to defy tyranny this weekend, next week, and this entire month! See medical freedom protests near you this weekend and next weekSee SaveCalifornia.com’s latest alert on bad bills mandating “Covid vaccines” Again, the masks, tests, and jabs are ineffectual and completely unnecessary, and are hurting children most of all. Currently, hospitals are falsely labeling as a “Covid deaths” people who die from influenza or who die with some type of Covid infection. And still, the California death rate for Covid is quickly returning to 1 in 5 million (0.02 deaths per 100,000 infections) and 1 in 10 million (0.01 deaths per 100,000 infections). This “zero Covid” agenda is so unrealistic. Since you have a much higher chance of dying from eating, walking, driving, or being struck by lightning, if we believe in masks, tests, jabs, and passports now, why didn’t we do this for decades of flus and common colds, and why in the world do we still permit people to eat, walk, and drive? I’m being sarcastic to make a point to overcome this devilish insanity. Because we’re either free and “live with” infections of all types, or we’re slaves who let our “authorities” restrict us in all ways because of their “zero infection” goal, turning entire societies into “hospitals.” Don’t buy into their lie — break free from it!This State of California Covid dashboard graph of “Covid deaths” spans March 2020 on the left to September 2021 on the right. You can see we are quickly returning to the lowest level seen this summer, which has been 0.01 and 0.02 deaths per 100,000 infections (which means an individual Californian has a 1 in 5 million or 1 in 10 million chance of dying from a Covid-related infection). This is nothing to be afraid of, and it’s no justification for mandatory masks, tests, and jabs. For you have a greater chance of being crushed to death by your furniture, TV, or refrigerator. Are any of these keeping you up at night?The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, in John 10:10SaveCalifornia.com is part of Campaign for Children and Families, a statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working, leading, and fighting for your rock-solid values and hard-won liberties since 1999.
