Bob Mulholland, Campaign Advisor to the California Democratic Party, is seeking participants to help ‘greet’ Carly Fiorina, former chair of Hewlett-Packard and a Republican candidate for Senator, during her visit to Clovis tomorrow, Feb. 11. The message from Mr. Mulholland:
Since we’re not going to be like Massachusetts’ Democrats, local Democrats need to be at GOP events. Carly Fiorina is running in the GOP US Senate primary. She was the CEO of HP for 8 years and despite being fired she is a serious candidate because she is worth millions.Can we get a few people outside this event by 11:40AM? On the closest public property with signs- white poster board: Fiorina Laid Off 28,000; Fiorina Was Fired; Fiorina Took a $21 million Severance Check.
For the greeting, Mr. Mulholland suggests the following talking points and messages:
- Carly Fiorina as the CEO of HP laid off 28,000 people- mothers and fathers with mortgages. She then sent the jobs oversees to Communist China and bought 2 Gulfstream jets for her personal use.
- Fiorina was fired as CEO at HP in 2005 for being mean and incompetent. During her 6 years as CEO, HPs stock dropped 44% in value. The very day Fiorina was fired, HPs stock went up 7% in value.
- But as part of her contract, Fiorina demanded a $21 million severance package, boosting her total compensation to $108 million over the 6 years.
