Thousands of concerned parents turned out in Sacramento on Tuesday (8/19) for the “STOP AB 495” rally spearheaded by Calvary Chapel Chino Hills pastor Jack Hibbs….aimed at stopping a misguided and dangerous piece of legislation in the California Assembly which Pastor Hibbs calls “a pedophile and child trafficker’s dream.”
The Salem Radio Network’s SRN News and TOWNHALL News focused on AB 495 in a week of Special Reports leading up to the Tuesday’s rally, and on-site, Pastor Hibbs explained the danger in an interview during the rally with KTKZ/Sacramento (AM 1380 The ANSWER) morning team Mike & Matt. Listen HERE.
Tom Tradup, V.P./News & Talk Programming for SRN, cited Tuesday’s rally as “the latest example of how Talk Radio’s one-on-one relationship with listeners can help promote citizen action when lawmakers endanger the rights of parents and children in California or anywhere else across America.” He adds that following the massive turnout, AB 495 has now been “shelved in committee” pending further study.
