Election Day September 24th 2009

Who is “Bird” Armstrong?

I am 45 years old. I have been married for 18 years to Charlotte Luther Armstrong. We live on a small farm off of hwy 48 south. We have no children. I have been employed with TDOT since 1995, and have been a Realtor and Auctioneer with Charles Woodard & Associates since 1992.

I am a Christian, Mason and Shriner.

I enjoy working on my farm and raising a wide variety of animals and Livestock. I enjoy hunting and spending time with my 5 dogs.

I am a “people person”. I enjoy interacting with people of all walks of life. I have never met a stranger. I try to keep an open mind. I like to hear why others view things as they do. I respect the opinion of others, even when they differ from mine.

Why do you want to be on the City Council

I have always enjoyed being “involved” in community groups. I have been on several boards and committees throughout my life. I get a great deal of pleasure when I do things that help to make our community and world, a better and more enjoyable place to live and raise a family.

I went to work in Nashville for TDOT in 1995. At that time I gave up a lot of the community activities that I had been involved with. I have really missed this interaction. By being on the City Council, I can be involved and help make the decisions that will improve life in Dickson, now and in the future.

What are your “Goals” as a City Councilman

1. I hope to improve communications between the elected bodies county wide.

2. I want the citizens to know I am “available” to listen to their concerns.

3. I want to bring my “common sense” to the table in decision making.

4. I would like to see our city take advantage of opportunities for Job growth.

5. I strongly support anything that can be done to help and improve the lives of our Senior Citizens.

6. I support improvement of our infrastructure.

7. I support a Balanced Budget.

8. I believe that ALL areas of the city should receive Fair & Equal services.

9. I believe that elected officials “Are” and should be accountable to the public.

10. I believe in Term Limits for “All” elected officials.

What do you promise to do

I “Promise” if you contact me as a city councilman. I WILL listen to you, and I “WILL” get you an answer.

I can’t promise, I will always get you the answer that you want. But I do promise that I will represent you in a manner that is honest, dependable and open.

If I “can’t” do what you want. I will be able to explain to you “why” it can’t be done.

Do you have anything else you would like to say to the Voters

Yes

I can NOT put these goals into action if “YOU” as voters and taxpayers don’t take the time to VOTE. You can support me and my goals all you want. But the final vote count is what can put this plan into action.

PLEASE take the time to VOTE.

I welcome your input. I can be reached at armstrbi@realtracs.com or 446-2465.

Early Voting in Dickson will be Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30am – 3:30pm

NOW for the first time. You can do early voting in Dickson on Saturdays. From 8 am till Noon.

One more “NOTE” I have found several Senior Citizens who are getting to a place in life where they have difficulty getting in and out of the polls. State law allows certain people to call the election office and request a paper ballot be sent to their home. One of these is anyone 65 years of age or older.

You just need to call the election office at 789-5093 to request this paper ballot.
