TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - When it comes to license plate designs,
Florida has plenty to choose from.
There are now 109 specialty tags available. But a state lawmaker
wants to give Floridians one more choice.
State Representative Pat Patterson is proposing legislation that
would offer a different version of the standard state tag.
Currently, the tag has "Florida" written across the top of the
tag with either the county name or the state nickname, "Sunshine
State," at the bottom.
Patterson wants to give Floridians the choice of buying a basic
license plate with the state motto, "In God We Trust," at the
bottom of the tag.
He says his proposal hasn't drawn a lot of attention, but he
expects it could draw more from civil liberties groups and others
as they become more aware of his idea.

As a Christian, I am 100% for a tag which proudly proclaims IN GOD WE TRUST. I am tired of being told about political correctness. What that means to me is that somewhere we have let our faith in a living God be trampled while every ungodly, immoral perversion is glorified. Our children can get abortions, drugs, condoms, etc in their schools, but they are not allowed to acknowledge through even a silent prayer, their faith and trust in God.
Putting “IN GOD WE TRUST” on the edge of the coins instead of the face made me chuckle. I suppose some thought they were taking one more thing from us but instead gave us one more beautiful metaphor : You see, WHEN WE TRUST IN GOD --- He IS our edge
God Bless and Happy new year

I think this is a good idea. This people in this country need to remember exactly why this country was started and freedom of religion was one of them. If you do not like the saying on the licence plate or you do not believe in God, then do not purchase one of the plates. But do not deny others the right to practice one of their rights as a citizen of this country. I live in the state of Alabama, but maybe one day all the other states in this country will follow suit.
