"LP" = Liberty Penguin = Libertarian Party

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.
