| |
| | |
| :Mascots say a lot...
| |
| :Democrats claim the donkey, an animal synonymous with stubbornness. Republicans chose the elephant, a beast more inclined to trample our rights than protect them.
| |
| :The Libertarian Party adopted Lady Liberty, the symbol of freedom.
| |
| | |
| :Unfortunately, so have scores of others.
| |
| :Lady Liberty has become an immensely popular corporate spokesperson. Her likeness appears in countless advertising campaigns, hawking everything from used cars to mutual funds.
| |
| | |
| :When Americans see Lady Liberty on the New York state license plate, or peddling Liberty Mutual Insurance, chances are they don't think of the Libertarian Party.
| |
| | |
| :We Need Our Own Mascot!
| |
| :The Libertarian Party needs a living mascot, a uniquely original symbol that will attract the attention and capture the hearts of America; one that will complement Lady Liberty and carry the torch proudly for those who still yearn to breathe free.

| |
| :* Penguins are cute. Their playful antics are a picture of freedom.
| |
