Dodson - Garrett  Debate  MONDAY Night, October 24th
Amherst County High School

  
Bert Dodson  chatts with  "Skipper"  Fitts 

Monday, October 24th, 7:00 PM - The Amherst County Chamber of Commerce will host a debate at 7 and 7:45 p.m. Oct. 24 at Amherst County High School.
Bert Dodson  and  Joan Foster
Neither Bert Dodson or Joan Foster has seen the plywood shuttered businesses or wild dogs in the streets Tom Garrett keeps talking about.     Maby Tom did inhale.      Talking down the citizens and businesses in Lynchburg won't translate into too many votes in this part of Virginia.

Student receives check from Bert Dodson

Bert knows education is one of the central keys to the future and supports keeping the system strong so that our children can enter the greater world ready and able to hold employeement.     Tom  Garrett on the other hand wants to take money away from public education and shift it to private schooling interests.

One section will be held from 7:00 to 7:30 PM with the six candidates vying for the three contested local races giving their reasons for running and their goals:    Amherst County Commissioner of Revenue - Linda Byers (incumbent) and Deborah Martin;    Amherst County Treasurer - Evelyn Martin (incumbent) and Garry Friend; and, Amherst County Board of Supervisors, District 3 - Robert Curd (incumbent) and Leslie Irvin.

The second session at 7:45 PM will be between the two candidates running for Virginia's State Senate District 22: BERT DODSON and Tom Garrett.     This debate will be moderated by Len Stevens, WSET-TV ABC 13.      Audience questions should be brought and turned in by attendees printed clearly on 3 by 5 cards.
Tom Garrett has a Jobs Plan

Tom's plan is to reduce wages and benefits to the point that businesses in sourrounding localaties will relocate their operations to the 22nd district and thus increase the numbers of low paying, no benefit jobs available to the job seekers here.     I see this as   "Tom Foolery"  with Tom being Tom and You being the Fool.     You can't win a race to the bottom and ultimately you can't compete with third world countries who's workers show up for mere pennies an hour or worse countries that employ prison laborers. 
    
Bert Dodson and Gerald Cheatham

Bert's plan to educate workers and supply them with 21st Century skills,  to enhance the availability of new technologies thru public private partnerships and to fund the public education system is the roadmap to a successful future for the generations to come.    
Tom Plans to do a Job on You and Your Childrens future.

Tom's plan to cut services and divert that money to tax breaks for big business and the already wealthy is nothing short of  TOM FOOLERY.


You've got a lot riding on the winner of the Senate Race in the 22nd District.      Its time to start thinking about who you will vote for and what that vote means.      I urge You to cast your vote for Bert Dodson.

Protect Your Benefits, Protect Your Future
