The Prohibition Party (PRO) is a political party in the United States best known for its historic opposition to the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages. It is the oldest existing third party in the US. The party was an integral part of the temperance movement. While never one of the leading parties in the United States, it was once an important force in the politics of the United States during the late 19th century and the early years of the 20th century. It has declined dramatically since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. The party earned only 643 votes in the 2008 presidential election. The Prohibition Party advocates a variety of socially conservative causes, including "stronger and more vigorous enforcement of laws against the sale of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products, against gambling, illegal drugs, pornography, and commercialized vice."

The Prohibition Party was founded in 1869. Its first National Committee Chairman was John Russell of Michigan. It succeeded in getting communities and also many counties in the states to outlaw the production and sale of intoxicating beverages.

Anne Legendre Armstrong (December 27, 1927 – July 30, 2008) was a United States diplomat and politician, and the first female Counselor to the President; she served in that capacity under both the Ford and Nixon administrations. She was also the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

She was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and graduated from Vassar College in 1949. In 1950, she married Tobin Armstrong and moved to Kenedy County, Texas. From 1966 to 1968, she was the vice chairman of the Texas Republican Party. From 1971 to 1973 she was Co-chairman of the Republican National Committee, and she was the keynote speaker at the 1972 Republican National Convention. (She was the first woman from either major party to keynote at a national convention). In 1973, a young Karl Rove, then on his way to becoming the chairman of the College Republicans, suggested in a memorandum to Armstrong that the Republican Party show nonpolitical films (such as John Wayne movies and Reefer Madness) at College Republican clubs as part of a strategy to raise support for the party among students and for fundraising.

Lady Rizo (aka Amelia Zirin-Brown) is a comedienne and chanteuse who began performing in New York in 2004. In 2005 she co-created the cult caburlesque show "Lady Rizo and the Assettes" with her close friend and dancer, Amber Star. Coining the word 'caburlesque', the show drew inspiration from theater, vaudeville, burlesque, cabaret and performance art. While the glammed up Lady Rizo sings largely vintage arrangements of 80s and 90s pop songs, the Assettes, made up of both men and women, perform cheeky and sexually charged burlesque acts. She continues to perform with the Assettes but has also gone on to have a solo residency at Joe's Pub entitled "Lady Rizo: Unescorted", that began in the winter of 2009. At the Unescorted show, Lady Rizo continues to bring her signature glamorous diva style to the stage as she further explores her musical influences.

The second single on Moby's album, Pale Horses, is sung by Zirin-Brown.

As an actress she has collaborated with Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher in his 2001 production of Cymbeline; with Adam Rapp in Los Angeles at the Flea Theatre (for which she co-wrote the original score). Zirin-Brown was featured on Yoyo Ma's 2008 grammy nominated album, Songs of Joy & Peace. She also starred in Taylor Mac's 5 hour epic at HERE Arts Center, The Lily's Revenge.
