| | Full Circle Events - Pagan Voting Project - Lady Liberty, The Goddess of Democracy |
 | | The desire for liberty is a powerful force, one that transcends culture, geography, history, religion, and politics. This is one of the reasons why we chose Lady Liberty as the icon for the Pagan Voting Project. |
 | | The French Revolution introduced Liberty as the definitive symbol for the overthrow of oppression, and by the end of the 19th century, Lady Liberty became the undisputed female emblem of the United States - as portrayed bearing the torch of freedom by Auguste Bartholdi in the Statue of Liberty.
