              • Rosie the Riveter

                As a patriot, it's hard not to vote for Good 'ol Unc Sam, but Rosie's cry to action, "We Can Do It," exemplifies the spirit of collaboration and results-orientation. In addition, there's the whole diversity message which only rings true more and more. What more fitting mascot than Rosie to also represent our 2.0 times! Rosie's got it all!

                • Franklin the Fair Housing Fox

                  In April 2007, the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity unveiled its first-ever fair housing mascot. Just as McGruff the Crime Dog represents the fight against crime, Franklin, the Fair Housing Fox, will symbolize the nation's efforts to end housing discrimination.

                  • Energy Ant

                    Born in 1975 Energy Ant came on the scene during the OPEC oil export embargo caused by tensions in the Middle East. Created by the Federal Energy Administration, Energy Ant's message was a simple one: "consume energy wisely in an attempt to conserve it."

                      • Mr. ZIP

                        Kids today might not recognize the United State's Postal Service's mascot Mr. ZIP but back in the day Mr. ZIP, Zippy for short, played a big role in keeping the post office sane by getting people to actually use the ZIP code system.

                          • Sammy Soil and Ruby Raindrop

                            Born down south in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Sammy and Ruby have been leading the charge in conservation. Started in 1968, Sammy has grown in popularity especially in the southeast, where there is actually a waiting list for high school students that want to play the role.

                            • Lady Liberty

                              Lady Liberty is about as American as you can get minus the fact that she speaks with a French accent according to comic book aficionados. Fighting as a member of the Force of July, Lady Liberty will do just about anything to preserve liberty and justice for all, including sacrificing her own life.

                                If you've ever gotten food poisoning then do I have a government mascot for you. Seriously though that's exactly what Thermy the mascot for the Food Safety and Inspection Service tries to prevent, among other things.

                                  • Smokey the Bear

                                    As crazy as it sounds before Smokey the Bear the United State Forest Service used caricatures of Hitler setting forest fires to educate people about how dangerous they were. Raise your hand if you're happy the Forest Service decided to switch to Smokey.
