AMERICA'S "other" WOMAN

FACTS-AT-A-GLANCE

• (AHP) The Anti-Hypocrisy Party of America was founded in 1999/2000 in Los Angeles, California, and is headed by Temperance Lance-Council.

• Lance-Council began her activism in 1987 when she ran the streets of Los Angeles, clad only in a loin-cloth to protest apartheid in South Africa.

• Further burdened by the plight of homeless women in Los Angeles, she partnered with others to form the Average Citizen’s Civic-Minded Coalition (ACC-MC) in 1989. The group hosted events to support the Los Angeles Family Housing Corp., and the Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women & Children at the Hyatt Sunset, in the 90s. Subsequently, that group evolved into the party, as it's publicly known today.
  

• Lance-Council married and went on to live in Louisiana and Florida, following her husband’s career.

• Unable to discontinue fighting for the downtrodden and the disenfranchised, she returned to California (AHP home base) and continued the work.

An Interview With Temperance Lance-Council, 2016 Presidential Candidate, Feb. 10, 2016

About Temperance Lancecouncil

• An atypical presidential candidate for sure, this national office-seeker began her career at a major, upstart newspaper — USA Today — in the mid-80s, and frequented local, cable shows. Later, she was approached to appear on The Hot Seat, an over-the-top, TV staple in Southern California. There, she bantered with the show’s host, Walley George, a combative conservative, "who pioneered insult television," per the Los Angeles Times (Jean O. Pasco, Times Staff Writer). That was the genesis into the lively repartee she became known for, exhibited in a Boston, MA television show in a dialogue with The New York Post’s Andrea Peyser, earlier in her career. Continuing to give no-holds-barred social and political commentary, she then found herself booked on Paramount's Leeza, with Super Bowler and former New York Giants' Harry Carson, where she gave her analysis on professional athletes (with an emphasis on Darryl Strawberry).

• Veering back into politics, she began appearing on news networks, discussing major, global issues, like Saddam Hussein and the Iraq War on CNN; and speculating about possible U.S. Supreme Court nominations on Fox News' popular, Fox & Friends.

• However, her sociopolitcal aspirations began as child, listening to election returns on the radio, and debating with her mother—so it’s quite plausible that she’d end up on national TV years later, espousing her political views. Although serious about politics, she’s an avid game-player, who equates the same excitement she got as a child watching the televised Watergate trials, with the wonderment she gets today playing charades.

• The Southern-born, Lance-Council was recruited to star in a college production as a young teen, but her first staring role on the stage came at age seven. In broadcasting, she got her start doing PSAs in her home state of Virginia. There, she also co-hosted a TV show, and served as editor and producer for many of the show's segments. She counts her interview with Virginia’s first African-American governor, Douglas Wilder, (who eventually ran for president) as her most memorable; although she’s interviewed a few Super Bowl winners.

• Add a TV pilot, NBC Universal’s Hello/Goodnight, and stints at USA Today and The Los Angeles Daily News to her credits. She's even penned a speech for former NBC (Suddenly Susan) star, Brooke Shields, which was excerpted on E! Entertainment. Although she has to include The Maury Povich Show on her resume, it must be said that the appearance was back during its "news-oriented" heyday.

• Fed up with the field of presidential candidates (and egged on by colleagues), she threw her hat in the national ring and in 2000, founded the Anti-Hypocrisy Party. AHP  is a gender-equality, progressive party of THE PEOPLE ... working class and the disenfranchised. 

• As head of The Anti-Hypocrisy Party, Lance-Council made a smidgen of history by being the only African-American, female, third-party, presidential candidate who has appeared in The New York Times, New York's Long Island Press, The Washington Post in POLITICO. If history books record the names of all candidates running in the George Bush, Florida "chad / Supreme Court" debacle, her name will be among them.

• An unknown factoid about the former cheerleader, pageant girl, and marathon runner, is that she created an award-winning NASA slogan, when her former spouse worked on the Atlantis Space Shuttle.

• Her energetic personality translated into her being a "first-called" contestant on The Price Is Right (she sold her prizes), and The Love Connection (she had a horrible date). She’s appeared in The National Enquirer ("Knockout Beauties Throwing Themselves at Tyson"), and on PEOPLE.com ("Your Real Beauty at Every Age"), People Magazine’s website.

• Her personal life has her as an adorer of small children, but she’s childless by choice—somewhat on par with actress Ashley Judd’s view. Nevertheless, she hasn’t ruled out another husband, or a law degree. She was pursuing her law degree in Los Angeles, when NASA recruited her former husband and she moved to Florida. Her undergraduate work was done at Virginia Commonwealth University and Ferrum College (VA).
