Florida Considers 'I Believe' License Plates


Florida residents may soon have the option to purchase license plates that display and represent their faith, thanks to a new measure currently under review in the Florida legislature.

Under the new legislation, residents will be able to purchase license plates engrained with the words “I Believe” alongside the image of a cross and stained glass church window.

Democratic Rep. Ed Bullard, one of the bill’s sponsors, was among those who showered praise for the measure, noting that it would give residents more freedom to choose from a variety of the current over 100 different license plate options available in the state of Florida.

“They may not be into the manatee, they may not be into Challenger,” Bullard said, speaking of the other license plate options available to state residents.

“That segment (Christians), which is a large segment of the population, can now get a tag that they like and can express their beliefs,” he said.
