Hazel Dell resident Bob Zak says the Democrats want the state to control our kids, taking away parental rights

The statement by Peter Abbarno, House Republican Caucus Chair, explained the tactic used by the majority party – Democrats – to kill the discussion on ESSB 5181 which GUTS the Initiative 2081, Parents Bill of Rights. The Dems used a rule that has not been used for 130 years? The Dems want the state to control our kids, taking away parental rights. This is wrong. ESSB 5181 goes against God’s line of authority for the kids He has given us. God gave parents total responsibility for raising the children He has given parents. This bill “fights” with God’s ways, there will be consequences. Do you remember what God said about His people the Jews, the nation of Israel? He said “those who curse Israel, I will curse; those who bless Israel, I will bless”. Do you remember the film “Sound of Freedom” about child trafficking? The lesson to evil was “My kids are not for sale”. So Dems follow sound advice from God’s Word, back away from ESSB5181 and let Initiative 2081 stand as law.
