Christians May Soon Have Own Specialty License Plates
Tuesday, April 15, 2008 10:09:41 AM
TALLAHASSEE -- Christians could soon be able to proclaim their faith on their license plates.
It's all under a bill making its way through the Florida Legislature.
The specialty plates would feature a cross over a stained-glass window with the words "I Believe" at the bottom of the plate.
Sen. Mike Fasano, a New Port Richey Republican is sponsoring the measure that would create four different plates - including the "I Believe" tag as well as a lighthouse tag and a "In God We Trust" plate.
The extra $25 Floridians would pay for the plate would go to a nonprofit group in Orlando called "Faith in Teaching" to support faith-based education.
Critics say putting Christian messages on license plates would violate separation of church and state.
