BARBARA POULSON, Richland

I thought it was a typo or my eyes weren't seeing too good. But, no. It has been repeated many times. During the primary election, only 35.5 percent of eligible voters in Benton County sent their ballot in. The number is 34.2 percent in Franklin County.

Perhaps we do not yet realize this country is at the crossroads. To continue with President Obama and be suffocated with regulations that suppress our freedoms and even worse, to continue down the path of divisive policies and executive orders that this president loves to use.

Or we put a stop to this style of governing. We must show we will not take it any more. The vote must be for Mitt Romney. Vote.

Did I say we are at the crossroads? No, we are heading over a cliff.
