SACRAMENTO, CALIF. – Being a communist would no longer be a fireable offense for California government employees under a bill passed Monday by the state Assembly.
Lawmakers narrowly approved the bill to repeal part of a law enacted during the Red Scare of the 1940s and ’50s when fear that communists were trying to infiltrate and overthrow the U.S. government was rampant. The bill now goes to the Senate.
It would eliminate part of the law that allows public employees to be fired for being a member of the Communist Party.
Employees could still be fired for being members of organizations they know advocate for overthrowing the government by force or violence.
The bill updates an outdated provision in state law, said Assemblyman Rob Bonta, the San Francisco Bay Area Democrat who authored the measure.
Some Assembly Republicans said the Cold War-era law should not be changed.
Assemblyman Randy Voepel, a Southern California Republican who fought in the Vietnam War, said communists in North Korea and China are “still a threat.”
“This bill is blatantly offensive to all Californians,” said Assemblyman Travis Allen, a Republican who represents a coastal district in Southern California. “Communism stands for everything that the United States stands against.”

Good let them think they can show their scummy faces, the further the enemy goes the closer we are to open conflict and I welcome it, I want my country back and the traitors serving their true purpose in life as fertilizer.
“…a law enacted during the Red Scare of the 1940s and ’50s when fear that communists were trying to infiltrate and overthrow the U.S. government was rampant.”
Obviously their fear was justified and equally obvious is that the law failed to achieve it’s objective!
So hollyweird can operate openly with govt productions without breaking the law now? Yes, they should expose their true zio-joo commie agenda to the public. It’s thinly veiled enough already.
ummm When were there not communist in the California gov in the last 40 years?lmfao!
I was thinking along that same line. 🙄
I had the entire country in mind, however.
Good thing its the month of May.
Because they “May” ban it.
Or May bandit..
I wouldn’t hold my breath on this one.
Your right, they are most likely dipping a toe in the water and studying the ripples, that is why I dare them to go full open commie, they will serve as excellent examples of how we have been right and how the time is now.
too late, all positions filled
and filled obviously with Commies as we speak
What do you expect from Commiefornia?
