Politics 1 says: “The Prohibition Party — founded in 1869 and billing themselves as ‘America’s Oldest Third Party’ — espouses a generally ultra-conservative Christian social agenda mixed with anti-drug and international anti-communist views.”

Prohibition Party Sets National Committee Meeting
The Prohibition Party holds a national committee meeting in Memphis, Tennessee, on June 17-18. Speakers include Rev. Dr. John Killian, and also History Professor J. David Gillespie, author of “Politics at the Periphery.” The meeting is at Barton-First Southern Methodist Church, 2869 Mendenhall Road.
So has the Prohibition Party already celebrated their 140th anniversary, or is it later this year?
I miss Earl Dodge. He had some great buttons.
I think 2 or 3 of us should join and infiltrate the Prohibition Party and make it a majority pro-booze party.
Indeed his buttons were very nice. As a matter of fact, one of his buttons appeared in my high school’s AP US Government textbook.
Because prohibition worked so well.
Do their hospitality suites have open bars?
Granola bars. I hear the party has been going through some infighting.
Well, all kidding aside at least the Prohibition Party HAS a history and is mentioned in most history texts. They have even polled a higher popular vote percentage for president than either the Libertarians or the Constitutionalists AND if I am not mistaken they have actually elected a person to the U.S. House of Representatives from California and the governor of Florida. Not recently, of course, but what the hell. Tease away…
If only the LP can ever be like the Prohibition Party in the past with such a successful electoral history…
And if you think that the joking of the Prohibition Party on this article is bad, take a look on the Ballot Access News article on this report.
