The eagle would be a good symbol. The flag could be a problem, because there are so many laws banning its use on clothes etc. and the Big Government crowd would certainly file suit preventing conservatives from using it.
Ross Perots old 3rd Party used an eagle—We would be better off with something new—maybe a little silly. such as...
1. An Owl, wisdom
2. A Rattlesnake—Don’t tread on me.
3. A snapping turtle. —Don’t tread on me.
4. A Bear—maybe with cubs?
5. A Lion
6. A Raccoon (a symbol of the Whig Party)
7. A Rooster
8. A skunk
9. A Turkey—Ben Franklins favorite
10. A Bobcat.
