CHOOSE LIFE LICENSE PLATE BECOMES LAW!

"Today, Governor Tim Kaine signed SB 817, the "Choose Life" license plate into law. As many of you know, Senator Richard Stuart (R-Westmoreland) drafted the bill and then Ken amended it on the Senate floor and pushed this legislation through during the last legislative session. It was passed with solid bi-partisan support. It's a huge win for those in the Pro-life movement, and also for those who hold dear our First Amendment rights.

In his statement, Governor Kaine (who also happens to be President Obama's hand picked National Chairman of the Democrat Party) said: "Because Virginians -like all Americans - regard freedom of expression among our highest values, courts in the Commonwealth and elsewhere have reviewed license plate programs to ensure that government regulation of plate messages does not discriminate based on the viewpoint expressed by a particular group."

We couldn't agree more - (and that's a first!)"
