The write to free speech allows you to say whatever you want no matter how repugnant on a bumper sticker, however the first amendment does not allow for the government to sanction such speech by displaying it on an official government issue license plate.

Now I just have to work out my rights and my writes before I hit submit.

Are you saying you believe that the government sanctions every cause in which a license plate has been approved?

The license plate is a government issued document is it not?

So are we going answer every question with a question?

why? look, when you get down past Lake City, you are no longer in the south.

Ocala :roll: There are some Southerners in Gainesville, and lots of horsey people in Ocala.

I know, that was just after the war, what was I thinking?

See my quote from Jeb Bush (okay, a spokeswoman), circa 2001, on page 1 of this thread: "the governor believes that most Floridians would agree that the symbols of Florida's past should not be displayed in a manner that may divide Floridians today." Jeb recognized that this was a slippery slope.

I'll play. The part of the government that sanctions license plates approves of the cause. Got something up your sleeve?

Maybe it'll just be this one and not every one. How about answering it.

I saw the quote. But I asked a question that I feel is either being ignored or looked over for some reason.

There are currently 108 license plates in Florida. I have not reviewed the list. Am I to believe that each of this non-profit organizations is a government sanctioned entity?

Sanctioned by some portion of the government as evidenced by their existence.
*edit* K-mart doesn't sell the license plates I got mine at the county government office. If and when I can go buy a joint at the same time I will assume the government is sanctioning my drug use. *p.s edit* I do not use drugs.
