Rep. Edward Bullard, have you lost your mind? Florida’s congress has lost touch with reality enough, and then you come up with this? What is the matter with you?

In most states, a Christian vanity plate would be a total nonissue since vanity plate designs are available to any organization which requests one and meets a minimum order size. In Florida, however, vanity plate designs must be individually authorized by the State legislature. Permitting the Christian license plate would amount to a formal endorsement of Christianity by the State of Florida, and as such would be a blatant violation of the First Amendment.

This is underscored by the fact that the the plate’s sponsor — Representative Edward Bullard — outright stated that he would oppose giving any other religion an equivalent vanity plate because he “isn’t sure all groups should be able to express their preference”.

It’s the right of the person to have what ever they want put on there license plate. The ACLU should just BUTT OUT!

As i posted before and will keep doing so.

The ACLU is nothing more but organized crime and should be shut down and kicked out of the United States for terrorists activity with in the organization. Just as G.E. still does trade with Iran.

Why do you need a cross on your license plate. If you’re really that concerned you can find a million different ways to decorate your car that do not involve gov’t items like a license plate.

Does Florida have some kind of law prohibiting the State from a free exercise of religion? From my reading of the United States Constitution, Florida could prohibit anyone that is not Baptist from living in their state. But, that is because I can comprehend what I read, much unlike a bunch of ACLU attorneys.
