Mommy Liberty

My name is Eliza Gauger. I'm 17 years old and I live in Bellingham, WA. I drew this image, not expecting it to become popular in any way, and am shocked and intensely pleased that it has inspired people the way it has. The profits from the sale of these items, even the profits that Cafepress is making, go to the Red Cross and the victims of the 9/11 disaster. Thank you for your support.

I thought this kid was worth a BUMP on FR. At 17, she's captured the spirit of how we feel as a nation. Osam murdered Lady Liberty's children. He better say his prayers when She comes lookin' for him.

I don't know Eliza and I'm not soliciting for her, but kids like her give me hope for the future. Good on you Eliza!

The only lock She needs is to have her sights locked on Bin Laden!

In an old Dallas TX cemetary, where many pioneers are buried, there is a monument commemorating them where a pioneer woman is inscribed as holding a baby and a rifle. Lady Liberty does indeed look right fittin' holding a gun.

Just ordered a big ass mug.
Great way to start the day with my morning coffee!

I took one look at the title, and was all set to demand you post a barf alert ... and then I took a look at the drawing.

Heh-heh-heh.

As W. C. Fields said, "When you're angry, always remember ... stop and count to ten. Now you've got good aim."

At 17 years old, she is most likely still in high school. Is she going to be suspended for drawing a gun?

Mommy Liberty has been on the forum several times, and each time I see it, it brings tears to my eyes. I think the image and text are incredible, especially having watched Eliza grow up since she started kindergarten with my sons. I hope that her success here, with this image, is a ticket out of her liberal upbringing into reality.
