Editor, Times-Union: I’m writing this letter to discuss yet another difference in the race for House District 22 which is state sovereignty. As each day passes we continue to lay witness to the intrusion of our federal government and the U.N. right down to the local level in such matters including, but certainly not limited to, healthcare, overtaking of property rights, education (Common Core), proposed gun control, the many EPA regulations, forced relocation of the many illegal immigrants, the lack of protection of traditional marriage and religious freedom. Our Founders never intended for the federal government to gain this much control. They delegated certain powers to the federal government and retained other powers to the individual states and to the people. This is intended as a check and balance to safeguard our rights. Curt Nisly believes strongly in state sovereignty. On the contrary, the Democrat lawyer has said that he believes the UN, in particular, is doing a lot of good for us and has stated his backing of Obamacare. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want the UN or the federal government telling me how to live, where to live, what to eat and how to educate my children. I strongly encourage you to choose wisely and vote Nisly on Nov. 4. Rhonda Miller Nappanee, via email
