This will help us get out the news about the SB 777 referendum petitions!
Overview of SB 777
As average citizens become aware of the SB 777 referendum, they have several questions
that we would like to answer in order to further educate and inform. Authored by
lesbian state senator Sheila Kuehl, and signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Senate Bill 777 prohibits any classroom instruction or school-sponsored activities
that “promote a discriminatory bias” against homosexuals, transsexuals, bisexuals,
transgenders and other controversial lifestyles. This means equal time instruction
about these lifestyles for children as young as 5. It would “promote bias” against
homosexuals to only discuss heterosexual families. Students with religious or traditional
values will be victims of reverse discrimination if they voice their opinions at
school. This is one of the most outrageous assaults on traditional families values
that we have witnessed in California. The SB 777 referendum will “refer” the bill
to California voters and ask them to overturn this shocking new law.
Major Milestone Reached!
Save Our Kids is thrilled to announce that we have already counted 100,000 signatures!
Our volunteers are working around the clock to continue counting the petitions we
receive in the mail every day. We know that we have enough petitions circulating
to qualify the referendum, but we need them returned ASAP so that we can continue
counting and preparing the petitions for submission to the Secretary of State.
To date, we have mailed more than 400,000 petitions! With space for 10 signatures
each, that equals 4 million signatures!
We have done all that we can do on our end-now it is up to the People to gather
signatures and mail them back.
Please begin mailing your petitions right away! Each and every signature will be
vital to getting the 500,000 signatures we need.
Deadline Confusion
There has been some confusion about the actual deadlines for returning petitions.

January 4th: Last day for campaign to receive petitions (they must be mailed a few
days prior to ensure their arrival by the 4th!)
Please keep working on gathering signatures until we reach our January 4th deadline!
We need every single signature we can get to qualify this referendum.
Save Our Kids Weekend!
December 28th-30th
With only a few weeks left in the campaign, Save Our Kids is encouraging families,
Bible study groups, political organizations and churches to make one last push for
signatures. December 28th-30th is Save Our Kids weekend!
During the Christmas and New Year season, many of our fellow citizens will be out
at shopping centers and stores. This is the perfect time to set up a table to gather
signatures. In just a few hours, you can make a huge difference by informing your
fellow citizens and gathering signatures.
Churches should host a petition drive this weekend to inform their members about
this assault on traditional values. Save Our Kids has several resources to assist
churches in hosting a petition drive. So far, churches have been an integral part
of this effort. These beacons of light can push us across the finish line if they
continue to host petition drives.
We need your help to make this campaign a success!
We are continually amazed by the dedication of our pro-family allies. Average citizens
are answering the call to protect and defend the innocence of our children. Thank
you for partnering with us in this historic effort to preserve our values!
