Agree that it's a golden. I don't like the poster. To tentative, they could use the services of Registered.

Just as long as it's not that crying eagle...

As I understand it Ben Franklin thought it should be the wild Turkey. No joke. Later...

I have to agree with you: we all beat up the RATS for doing a fundraiser in the name of "honoring" firefighters up in New Hampshire last week. It's a really nice poster, but seems a bit exploitative to me as well.

P.S. - What the heck is that red logo above 'GOPUSA' supposing to represent?? I can't even come up with a guess.

That's not an eagle- that is a red-tailed hawk, Buteo jamaicensis

I do have a VERY NICE, sharp close-up photograph of a fully mature, fierce and beautiful bald eagle (same sort of pose as your hawk) that I can get permission from the photographer for you to use and you'll not have to worry about copyright infringement. She will probably let you have it for free. Freepmail me if you are interested.

My first thought was that the logo was a hand doing a pupet show in the form of an eagle.

The logo looks sort of like a newt's head. LOL

Greetings to All!

First, I'd like to thank you for all the great comments on the GOPUSA picture. I'm not sure who originally posted it to FreeRepublic, but I appreciate it. Second, I'd like to clear a few things up. This picture is NOT intended for any type of fundraiser. We simply made it as a way of expressing our feelings about the September 11 attacks. As someone who witnessed the jet airliner crashing into the Pentagon, I was very moved by the event, so I wanted to create something that expressed my feelings. GOPUSA made the image available on the web site for anyone to download.

Also, I'm well aware that it is not a bald eagle. However, when I was laying out the GOPUSA web site, I wanted to use eagles, and the best picture I found was of a golden eagle. It may not be the symbol of the US, but it is a symbol of GOPUSA.

Finally, the GOPUSA logo is something I created. Because of my love for flying and my background as an aerospace engineer, I wanted to do something "eagle-like" but abstract. So, what I came up with is what you see. It is our "right wing" symbol. It's an abstract eagle's wing.

Thanks again for all the feedback.

Bobby

I agree. I like the bald eagle much better.

Heh heh heh, you may be on to them. Har.

Very good. I thought of something else, but it is too vulgar to talk about Bill Clinton's private parts.

Perhaps it is the side view of an eagle's wing when in flight. The Red highlights the wing.
