STOP SB 48 EPIC FAIL

The hate groups that lied in order to gather enough signatures to challenge SB 48, failed in their quest:

The groups wanted to force a vote on Senate Bill 48, the nation's first law requiring that public schools include gay rights milestones and gay and lesbian contributions in social studies lessons. It takes effect in January.


Groups that had been circulating signature petitions said they would not meet Wednesday's deadline.


Brad Dacus, a spokesman for the Pacific Justice Institute, said his organization and other opponents collected about two-thirds of the 505,000 petition signatures they needed.


Traditional Values Coalition spokesman Benjamin Lopez earlier said the groups had decided not to file regardless of whether they reached the threshold. 

But they will keep trying:

Dacus said opponents will now try to make the law an issue in next year's re-election campaigns by Democrats who supported the measure.

He said opponents also are considering seeking enough signatures for a broader ballot proposition that would target laws they feel infringe on parental rights to govern what their children learn in school. However, opponents would have to work around California's single-subject rule, meaning initiatives can address only one issue at a time.

Whatever, Brad.
