REPEAL RCW 26.19.090
There comes a time in everyone's life, no matter how weak and seemingly defeated, that he or she has to take a stand.
In my case, I have run head first into something that's just not right in the State of Washington. It's not a matter of politics, not about Democrats or Republicans. It's not about "the left" or "the right"; rather, it's about fundamental rights: "The Fundamental Right to Parent."
Under WA law, Divorced Parents can be forced to pay for their children's college, but Married Parents and Parents Who Never Married cannot be forced to do so.
This disparate treatment of Parents' Rights in WA violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
This Unconstitutional WA statute falls short on 2 fronts: (1.) It unreasonably interferes with Divorced Parents' "Fundamental Right to Parent." (2.) It discriminates between potential college students based solely upon the martial status of their parents. Learn more at https://www.facebook.com/#!/Repeal.RCW.26.19.090
At least 241,153 Registered WA Voters came together about a decade ago via WA Initiative 686 to tell former WA Secretary of State Ralph Monro that RCW 26.19.090 had to go ( http://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/initiatives/text/i686.pdf ). Apparently, other more pressing matters upstaged WA Initiative 686.
Current WA Secretary of State Sam Reed needs to hear from another 'bare minimum' number of 241,153 Registered WA Voters to sign another Initiative . . . to 'start over' (http://www.sos.wa.gov/office/osos_news.aspx?i=j6UCA26zqoBx07sZ338msA%3D%3D ).
It's time to breathe new life into the efforts of those who supported former WA Initiative 686 to Repeal RCW 26.19.090.
