LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

American Principles

Dear Editor:

I believe Republicans favor America’s principles more than the Democrats. This confirms it: There was recently a vote on whether the United States would enter the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. The U.S. Senate voted 53-46 to oppose the treaty.

Why? Because the UN “calls for member states to collect weapons and to disarm UN countries.” Every private gun owner in America would be affected.

Moreover, the UN mandates an international gun registry on all private guns and ammo.

In opposition, our Senate voted to uphold our Second Amendment rights and to prevent the United States from entering into the UN’s arms treaty.

Interesting enough, all Republicans voted against this UN takeover, but most Democrats voted for it. Now, knowing the United Nations for what it is, you tell me –who gives American principles top priority: the Republicans or Democrats?

Powerline Road construction

Dear Editor:

I’m sure I am not the only Deer Run resident that would’ve like to have some notice of what kind of construction was going to happen on Powerline Road this week!

The sign was up saying construction started on the 18th but I didn’t see anything in any paper or online when trying to look it up. I would have taken another route instead of sitting in my car for almost 40 minutes getting from Green Road to SW 4 Street.

We were also not informed about not being able to turn south onto Powerline Road.

It may have been discussed at a District 4 meeting but not everyone is able to go to these meetings. It’s gonna be a fun couple of weeks trapped in the neighborhood!
