I have written at length about Janice Webb's unethical behavior in the past.
As Chairwoman of the AD-66, she has plotted with other members to try to have me removed from the Presidency of the Beach Cities Republicans.
She told me to call off a meeting because Latinos Por Trump were the featured speakers.
She said that I was not fit to lead the Beach Cities Republicans.
And yet …
The members elected me for a second term!
Just wonderful!
I had hoped that Mrs. Webb would have met with the Beach Cities Republicans to explain why she had engaged in the actions which she had done.
I expected her to attend the November 17th, 2016 meeting.
She would have had the chance to speak to the club–and vote for someone else as President, too, if she wished.
I then informed her that I would be attending the next AD-66 Central Committee meeting.
Here is the contents of the email which I sent:
To the 66th AD Central Committee:
I am saddened and displeased that Chairwoman Janice Webb did not attend the Thursday, November 17th Beach Cities Republicans meeting to explain to the members of my club the reasons for the following actions she has engaged in:
1. Covertly trying to remove me as Beach Cities Republicans President.
2. Threatening me to cancel a regularly scheduled meeting on October 20th.
3. Calling my work and telling my boss to pressure me to cancel the above mentioned meeting. That action was offensive, immoral, and apparently illegal.
4. Colluding with members of RPLAC leadership (from what I can gather) to threaten BCR members with revocation of our charter if I did not step down as President.
5. Refusing to speak to me or the club members about these inappropriate actions at the October 20th meeting. I must add that Vice-Chair Ken Hartley did attend the meeting, but failed to provide further information.
Other central committee members throughout the county and local Republicans have learned about the Chair's behavior–and are very displeased.
I request an agenda item to the November 21st Central Committee meeting:
- Discussion of the 66th AD Central Committee Executive offices.
I intend to attend the 66th AD meeting this coming Monday, November 21.
Please confirm that you have received this email.
Thank you.
One of the other Central Committee members had informed me that the meeting would take place at:
I received two phone calls from two of the Central Committee members.
Omar Navarro, the Beach Cities Republicans newly-elected First Vice-President.
Then Rick Marshall, the President of the Torrance-Lomita Republican Assembly.
They both informed me that there was no meeting at the location.
I was really confused about all of this.
I went to the headquarters myself to see what was going on.
Here is my video:
The next day, I spoke with one of the Central Committee members.
He informed me that he was heading toward the Hadley headuarters, but the received a message at the last minute … to go to the Kiwanis Club in Hermosa Beach.
What?!
Why weren't other people notified of this sudden change?
Another member of the Central Committee also did not get the message about the sudden change.
And neither did the public at large.
Rick Marshall wrote to me to explain what was going on:
Janice called me after 9:00 p.m. returning my voice mail to her at 7:00 asking where the meeting was. She indicated that they had to get out of the headquarters (I don’t know why, Hadley is the one who paid the month’s rent) and so held the meeting elsewhere. She explained it was an oversight on her part that the ex-officio’s were not informed. She promised that would not happen again. She didn’t offer what happened at the meeting and I didn’t ask.
Notice how she refused to offer any details.
My contact at the meeting informed me that for members of RPLAC were there, though.
It must have been an important meeting, or something.
What is going on?
Omar Navarro was particularly displeased, and recorded the following on his Facebook account.
Here's his second video.
FYI: Omar Navarro announced his intentions to run for Chair of the AD-66th GOP Central Committee.
His ascension would remove Janice Webb, who has not demonstrated wise and appropriate leadership for the Committee.
Her challenger was given one address, but they went to another address?
What is this? Chicago?!
Here are his comments online from his website blog:
attending my first Central Committee meeting. I am supposed to be attending the
Central Committee with the intention of getting things done within the
Republican Party. The first thing I thought, why would the central committee
members ignore numerous calls? Why would they change locations last minute?
President of the Beach Cities Republican Club. It is one of the biggest
Republican Clubs in the South Bay area and before I was elected I announced I
would be running for the Central Committee Chair position within the board. I
would bring unity to the Republican Party in the South Bay and by bringing the
party together and not dividing it.
Janice Webb represents in the South Bay. When I met Janice Webb, I made the
attempt to work with her only to find out she is not easy to work with. I was
shrugged off by her and I learned she tried to attempt an unreasonable mutiny
towards the Beach Cities Republican President and Town Hall Writer Arthur
Schaper.
represent Janice Webb but Omar Navarro for Central Committee Chair.
Beach cities (Hermosa, Manhattan, Redondo), cities of the Palos Verdes
Peninsula, and parts of Los Angeles (Harbor City/Harbor Gateway) and
unincorporated Los Angeles County (El Camino Village and West Carson).
