Assembly Concurrent Resolution 46

Gavin Newsom says he’ll continue the State of Emergency as long as COVID is a threat. In other words, he plans to permanently abolish constitutional government.

With the virus becoming “endemic,” Dan Walters writes in Cal Matters, Newsom’s rationale will allow the emergency to continue “indefinitely” and let him “continue to govern by decree, further eroding the American concept of checks and balances.”

Since Newsom will never surrender emergency powers, the Legislature must act. When we reconvene, I’ll insist on a vote on ACR 46, my legislation to end the State of Emergency:

Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate thereof concurring, That the Legislature, in accordance with Section 8629 of the Government Code, declares that the state of emergency proclaimed by Governor Gavin Newsom on March 4, 2020, is at an end and that the emergency powers granted to the Governor as a result of that proclamation are terminated

Right now, we’re asking city councils, boards of supervisors, and school boards to pass a resolution supporting ACR 46. Here is a model version you can send to your local representatives.

From the beginning, Newsom described COVID as an “opportunity for a new progressive era.” He’s used that “opportunity” to inflict on us the nation’s worst and most regressive COVID era outcomes.

But the tide is turning. We saw that in Virginia. We’re seeing it in communities across California. By ending the State of Emergency, we can reanimate our Constitution, restore our freedoms, revive our economy, and return to normal schooling.
