An Alabama group is working to get an official state license plate featuring the Gadsden flag, the yellow Revolutionary War-era flag with a rattlesnake and the words “Don’t Tread On Me” that has become popular with Tea Party groups.
The Foundation for Moral Law, a Montgomery-based religious liberty group that has taken on cases dealing with abortion, marriage, and public prayer, is working to get 1,000 pre-orders, the threshold that must be reached before the Alabama Revenue Department will manufacture plates, according to the Associated Press. Arizona, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia now offer license plates featuring the flag.

PING.
that’d just be begging to get your car keyed by the rabid pro-big govt types
I’d like one too, but there is something a little ironic in having to pay the state extra taxes to display a license plate in opposition to extra taxes.
That’s why I don’t put any political stickers on my vehicle. Don’t want to stand out for idiots, including the police.
I could get them for out of state use; I don’t have to have plates on my truck in state.
I said months ago upon spotting one of these that getting an anti-government slogan/symbol on your STATE-MANDATED plate that signifies taxes, registration, tracking, etc. is nonsensical. It’s impotence and futility along the lines of writing ‘FILED UNDER PROTEST’ on your 1040.
Beyond revenue consumed by the insatiable maw of government, why do any decorative/themed plates exist? Plates are ostensibly meant to help identify a vehicle in the event of some crisis, accident, crime, etc. A state issuing 30-40 different plates (most of them with this or that politically correct theme) is the antithesis of efficient ID, especially when two or more states are involved.
Once upon a time you could ID a plate by color scheme (border, background, numerals) as much as by letters/numbers. Given that most people only get a glance of a plate this was at least a starting point. Now it’s ‘Officer, the guy who hit this kid and drove off had NASCAR plates with Jeff Gordon’s 24 logo on them.’ Well, fantastic! We only have a dozen or two states issuing NASCAR-themed plates! Should narrow it right down!

Why did AL get rid of the words “Heart of Dixie” on their license plates?
Was ‘Dixie’ considered to be a racial slur?
beautiful looking plate.
except the MO Highway Patrol will look at me as potentially dangerous and a possible terrorist.
A good way to get your car vandalized in a lot of progressive neighborhoods!
Do they have one with the first Navy Jack?
yet cars stickered with Coexist, Obama 2012, Hate isn’t a Family Value, etc etc never get touched.
That is because often they’re on such heaps that even if they had been keyed or abused, nobody would be able to tell.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I've been restraining myself.
