With 13 months to the November 2022 election, numerous ballot initiatives already have been filed with the California Secretary of State’s Office.
On the ballot already are citizen-initiated measures related to legalizing sports betting on Native American lands, changes to medical malpractice lawsuits, plastic waste reduction, and banning flavored tobacco products.
Four ballot initiatives have been cleared by the state for signature gathering. They address an environmental and sustainability education initiative, prison rights, child dependency and custody hearings, and legalizing hallucinogenic mushrooms.
But 21 other ballot initiatives are with the state Attorney General’s Office, which is tasked with accepting public comments and issuing a title and summary for initiatives.
The Legislative Analyst Office is also reviewing the 21 proposals to produce a fiscal analysis of each. Once the AG’s office issues the title and summary for the proposals, their proponents have 180 days to collect the required number of signatures and file petitions with county election officials to get them on the ballot.
The majority are citizen-initiated state statutes . By law, they are required to receive enough signatures equal to 5% of the votes cast in the preceding gubernatorial election in order to qualify, or 623,212, according to Ballotpedia.
Two of the initiatives relate to creating Education Savings Accounts, though they differ in how the funds would be administered and implemented, in the dollar amount of the funds that would be made available, and how they could be spent. One is also more restrictive for home-schooling families.

The California Education Savings Accounts Initiative (#21-0006), known as the Educational Freedom Act, would create an education savings account program for parents whose children attend private or charter schools or who home-school.
It was submitted by the California School Choice Foundation, led by Michael Alexander, and several others.It would allow all K-12 students to enroll immediately in the program once it became law. Parents would receive $14,000 in the first year, and the amount would increase with inflation. The money could be spent at any accredited school, and home-schooling families could use the funds for educational expenses. It includes no cap on how much can be saved or rolled […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
