Carolyn Lambert's and Fereshteh Toosi's AIR Project Statement

Working on a shoe-string budget from their headquarters at the Berwick Research Institute in Roxbury, the newly founded Tea Party has nominated not one but two candidates for the 2004 Presidential election. Identically-clad in black flip-flops, white wigs and three-cornered hats, the 2 women who make-up the entire staff and campaign crew of the Tea Party have pushed forward with a grassroots effort to meet constituents, focusing mostly on the Boston area.

Asked what kind of impact they hoped to have on the November elections, Tea Partier Fereshteh Toosi stated: "We're both running for President, which is unusual, but what truly distinguishes us from the other political parties is our sense of style and focus on 4 unique platforms: Tea, MobiliTea, SecuriTea, and CommuniTea."

With such an agenda, the Tea Partiers have been busy this summer. They were spotted at the July 1 rally at Park Street Station distributing sachets of SecuriTea, in protest of the newly implemented MBTA baggage and ID inspections. They also made guest appearances at Bunker Hill Memorial Day festivities and are leading workshops encouraging citizens to imagine utopian designs for fantastic environmentally-safe vehicles. "If elected to the presidency, we plan to implement the best of these designs," says Tea Partier Carolyn Lambert. "When we concentrate our collective mental energies towards a petroleum-free vehicle, it will happen."

To learn more, join Tea Partiers Carolyn Lambert and Fereshteh Toosi for an experimental tea party Friday July 23rd between 5:30 and 7:00 pm. Drop by anytime at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade (closest T station: Charles/MGH on the Red Line). Wear comfortable clothing and bring your finest tea cup, if possible.

Free and open to the public.
