MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama's new beach license plate is
outselling the state's "God Bless America" car tag by a 3-to-1
margin.

The new beach design went on sale in January. The state Revenue Department reports that more than 909,000 were sold in the first six months. That compared to more than 301,000 "God Bless America" tags.

Motorists can choose either license plate. The "God Bless
America" tag was introduced in 2006.

They also just gave the new design to me and didn’t ask any questions. I didn’t know I had a choice either.

My car’s license plate does not make me more Christian or make me “Appear” to be more of a Christian….it’s in my heart and how I chose to live everyday.

If that was the case, the cross I wear around my neck would say enough.

I was waiting for them to start saying that the God Bless America tag was offensive to those who do not believe in God. I mean heck, we already heard that they want to ban the “M” word because it is offensive to some. I guess it is nice that they are letting people have the choice though. I have a military tag so it really does not make a difference to me.
