Clinton plans plenty of ‘counterprogramming’ during the GOP convention

By John Wagner July 18 at 9:32 PM
CINCINNATI — Donald Trump no doubt will dominate the political news this week, as Republicans convene in Cleveland to make his nomination for president official. But Hillary Clinton is hardly going dark.

The presumptive Democratic nominee started her day Monday in the battleground state of Ohio, with an address here to a gathering of the NAACP that she used to announce a major voter mobilization drive and to decry Sunday’s fatal shootings of three law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge.

“People who care about protecting police officers should be committed to getting assault weapons off the street to begin with,” Clinton told the gathering, working in a pitch for more gun control.

And that was just the start of a busy stretch during which Clinton touched down in Minnesota later Monday to talk to a large gathering of teachers and planned to hit Nevada on Tuesday to address government workers and continue to tout her campaign’s goal of signing up 3 million new voters before November — at minor-league baseball games, colleges and barber shops.

I've registered many voters and shared election information in many A-A barber shops and hair salons in my city. I came up with the idea in '04 and our local TV station interviewed me about it. What happened was that one of their reporters was waiting in a salon to get her hair done and she became interested in the voter registration/campaigning I was doing there. So about a week later, I arranged to meet a different reporter in a salon and he interviewed me there.
