Where candidates stand

---

To see if a candidate matches your values, search online for a few minutes. 

As a nonprofit organization, we cannot and do not support or oppose candidates for public office, and we don't tell you for whom to vote. 

When you consider that most multi-candidate and party-sponsored mailers feature candidates who have paid to be featured as "endorsed," it's important to do some simple research. Because whoever is elected will either do good or great harm that will have lasting impact. 

A. Simple steps to research candidates online

Search for a candidate's name along with other search terms (one a time), such as Covid, mask, lockdown, test, pandemic, medical freedom, life, reproductive, abortion, gay, LGBT, gun, taxes, fees, constitution, etc.

1. Have your sample ballot in front of you

2. On a computer with internet, type in a search engine a candidate's first and last name and office they are seeking, such as "Assembly," "Senate," "Congress," "U.S. Representative," etc.

3. Then, one word at a time, one search at a time, search the candidate name and a key word, such as "pandemic." This could reveal the candidate's statements, positions, or votes on the subject. For example, if you want to search candidate John Smith for State Assembly and his position on sexual perversity, enter John Smith, Assembly, California, LGBT. By poking around, you might find his position on this tyrannical agenda.

4. Search this way for each candidate on your ballot, unless there are some you have a valid reason to ignore.

How does SaveCalifornia.com President Randy Thomasson research?

Randy says, "First, I take out my ballot. In the partisan races, who are the Republicans? Are there an independents to consider? Of these, then I do my internet research with key words, looking for what they've said or done to show they're good or bad. 

Which is the conservative constitutionalist? If there's no constitutionalist, but either a RINO and a Democrat, or even two Democrats, I keep my principles by casting a "protest vote" for a third-party candidate, or make no choice in the particular contest. This simple study usually makes my voting easy. 

For non-partisan seats, you can usually find out the party affiliation of candidates by searching under their name and Democrat or Republican. 

Don't be fooled by liberals in disguise -- do your own research to know where they really stand." 

You should also visit candidates' websites for their specific positions on constitutional, family-values and moral issues. 

And consider emailing the candidate to ask specific questions. And remember, what a candidate has done on a certain issue is always more revealing than what they say. For example, if you want to vote for a candidate who supports medical freedom, try to find out whether they ever supported a mask mandate or even a "vaccine" mandate. 

Again, we don't support or oppose candidates, but encourage you to do your own research so you don't mistakenly vote against your own values.

B. Learn from voting records and endorsements

Your second-best research is key votes cast by incumbent politicians. A constitutional conservative will not vote against family values, will not support the "LGBTQIA+" agenda, will not support abortion/"Covid mandates"/"gun control," etc.
