Connie Hair - Clinton’s A Liar was instrumental in the event. After it was over she insisted that we leave no trash behind, even if it wasn’t our trash... cigarettes, gum wrappers, etc. The place was spotless before we left. Jim Rob and son Chris was there. It was great.
Yes, she was. Her main job was lining up the speakers (very important). CAL also took over Master of Ceremony duties after some known pundit candidates we wanted couldn't make it. She did a fine job on stage announcing the next speaker while arousing the crowd in-between.
All 5 of us original organizers did our duties professionally and successfully. ALL the other volunteers were exceptional, no matter their assignments. As I was actually running sometimes around the grounds/setup to ensure things were happening to specs, I looked in on the Hospitality Tent once. I found no need to go their again. Folks, told me how professional they were and it let me concentrate on other unfolding situations.
BTW, as someone mentioned above about the Flag parade, I was so busy that I ask a small young woman (Jolly) if she could pull it together. She looked at me like WHAT? and then made the opening procession a success. I knew she could do it and took quite a load off me. Just think of her having to organize a bunch of out State big burly guys wanting certain positions.
The 5 original organizers were; A Navy Vet; Clinton's a Liar, Joy in DC, Jolly, and BobJ. We had a conference phone call at Connie Hair's house with JimRob and other political pundits. Once JimRob announced he was going to DC to confront Clinton and hung up, it was a go.
After the conference call, I asked who is going to lead this effort, be a central point of contact, and oversee all aspects. No one stepped forward not having the experience for such a large national effort.
As a Navy team leader, I volunteered and voted in as Overall Coordinator. From then on it was phone calls day and night how my department heads were doing, not to mention other logistical phone calls to DC. I have a 2 folders documenting every call, suggestions, volunteers, etc. There were times I wished I kept my mouth shut at that meeting at Connie's house. But then, it probably wouldn't have happened since it needed an experienced leader.
Then there was the Mojo conflict who had movie production setup experience and recommended by CAL (still don't know why). Everything was in process and on schedule until he decided to set up the stage in an un-permitted area. I had to tell him to back off and moved the stage to our permit area. He and CAL never saw eye to eye with me again.
The controlling little prick showed up early morning before I was to meet with the stage people (he claimed I was late while having breakfast - I wasn't & have the appointment papers on file). Wearing his pussy blue framed glasses and wanted to push his Hollywood weight around and take over the entire event, we almost went to blows, after all weeks of hard work, stress, financial backing, etc. I put in for the March. I politely told him if he wants to contribute, good. Also said, I've got it under control, but if you want control, we'll settle it outside. He back the Frig off, being the Hollywood pussy type.
The above is stuff most people never knew that happened behind the scenes. I've got more.
NO, it wasn't Connie Hair who made the cleanup happen. She asked for us to do it on the PA (good), but it was I and BobJ who lead the cleanup. I clearly remember BobJ and and others picking up the trash. Connie was elsewhere, as she always is.
Want to hear my first encounter with Connie Hair regarding the close Naval Station in Long Beach?
Then I have Connie Hair jumping into the Illegal Immigration situation with one of the founders I worked with. He was not impressed as I worked in his own home to help with his computer listings. Guess who didn't go down to Tombstone to support the true MinuteMen?
