:"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. | |||
:Why a Penguin? | |||
:* Liberty is cool. Penguins symbolize cool. | |||
:* Penguins are friendly. They're natural icebreakers. They're also used to cold receptions. | |||
:* Penguins are cute. Their playful antics are a picture of freedom. | |||
:* Penguins are perfectly adapted to their environment. They thrive on one of the planet's harshest continents – Antarctica. | |||
:* Penguins are black and white; there's no gray area. | |||
