Lady Liberty has sued Pennsylvania Democrats for violating the ideals they pretend for which to stand. The action, brought to the International Court for Human Dignity, alleges that Democrats, using a name which, when spelled in lower case, connotes freedom, liberty, and rights for all, and is being corrupted now to stifle free speech.
"I've been standing in this harbor for 121 years, a gift from France to be a beacon for freedom loving people the world over and now, behind my back, some Democrats are undermining my entire mission. I am also about to launch an action also against Republicans for constantly bashing those people coming to this country seeking such freedoms."
"Witnessing actions against one of their own for the free expression of support for a particular candidate of their own Party and the abuse and harm done in the process is something which outrages me enough that I have taken this unprecedented action to preserve liberty in Pennsylvania. I am especially ashamed that these people are using the word 'Democrat' to identify themselves after such egregious conduct. I feel as if they are undermining everything I have stood for lo these many years."
The iconic statue, located in New York harbor, also has this inscribed within her being:
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
