Georgia Republicans are focused 110% on jobs, jobs, jobs. But first...
Republican Sen. Bill Heath filed a proposal mandating that all Georgia license plates manufactured after July 1 display the motto "In God We Trust." All of them. Nice to know the Republicans still have their passion for small, unobtrusive government.
Good news, atheists! According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "motorists could buy a county decal sticker to cover it if they wanted." So if "In God We Trust" offends you, all you have to do to be un-offended is give money to the same people who offended you in the first place. It's a win-win!
Other mottos come to mind like:
In God We Trust
This also appears on our currency, but it bears repeating
Georgia
Imposing Our Will on Powerless Minorities Since 1732
In God We Trust
Your License Plate Motto Seems Kind of Shallow Now, huh?
Georgia
The ChurchState!
In God We Trust
And If You're Not "We," You're "Them."
Georgia
We Put the Aggressive in Passive/Aggressive
In God We Trust
Your Move, Alabama
In God We Trust
And He Plays in the SEC
Got more license plate mottos for either Georgia or for your own state? Please share with the class in the comments.

Indiana. Intensely Mediocre.
works for Oklahoma, too: Oklahoma is OK...because we can't spell mediocre!
Indiana. Lincoln passed through here on his way to greatness.

GEORGIA
Without Atlanta, We're Alabama
Ohio - Where rights crumble faster than our bridges.
Georgia: Yes, we has 'lectricity.
I still like the suggestion I saw years ago for Wisconsin plates: Eat Cheese Or Die
Or the ever popular: "Wisconsin - Enjoy our Dairy Air!"
Georgia
Violating the constitution since 1732 because we're a commonwealth and we don't have to obey federal requirements for separation between church and state..
So nener nener nener!!!
We're gonna convert your car into a rolling church and there is nothing you can do about it.
Georgia is not a commonwealth. There are 4 commonwealths: PA, KY, MA, VA.
Um, yeah, this is a state, not a commonwealth. And I will NOT be having one of those plates, thank-ya-ma'am.
My mistake.
I've spent several months in Virginia and I know they do not need to obey the entire constitution. This kind of law is otherwise unconstitutional for the same reason that it is unconstitutional to conduct prayer in a public school classroom.
GA - "In God We Trust a/k/a Crossing Our Fingers"
PA - "You've a got a friend in PA - especially if you are a 10 y.o. boy! ;("
TX - "Enter at your own risk."
MS - "The barefoot & pregnant State."
AZ - "Home of the Private Prison System; If you don't have papers, We have vacancies!"
"I still like the suggestion I saw years ago for Wisconsin plates: Eat Cheese Or Die"
That was a loooong time ago.
Illinois,
"Don't mind the filth, it helps the corn grow."
"Chicago, and the corn maze that surrounds it."
Heeeey, I'm from that corn maze, thank you.
Yep. That pretty much sums up Chicago.
Illinois -- This Plate was Probably Made by a Former Governor.
And while we're on the subject of mottos, when is the G.O.P. going to finally admit that it stands for "Great for the One Percent"?
This one for people who watch the FDIC Failed Banks list: GEORGIA
In God We Trust
In Our Banks: ROTFLOL
I spent almost 30 years driving around with "Live Free or Die" on my NH license plate. They didn't have room for the rest of the phrase by General John Stark ( New Hampshire American Revolutionary War hero), "Death is not the worst of evils." Darn... Oh, well, it was more interesting than "Scenic New Hampshire." The Supreme Court ruled in 1977 that people could cover it up if they were offended. They concluded that the state's interests paled in comparison to individuals' free-expression rights.
How about: Live Free or Pie ?
Another variation from the show "West Wing," Live Brie or Die." Then there was "Live Free or Don't"...
How about "Live For Free Pie"? :-)
Free pie?? Worth living for! I'm moving to New Hampshire!!
Georgia: Where We Praise the Lord and Pass the Fried Chicken!
Re-elect No one!
In Ontario it's "Yours to Discover". Almost sounds scientific doesn't it? Ah, Canada, still more sane than America.
And the gap between the two is widening.
That's the new one, I preferred the instructional one the preceded it:
"Keep it beautiful"
KANSAS - WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF KOCH INDUSTRIES. 0r Holy owned...?
GA - OUR GOD IS A PEACH OF A GOD.
@Crackhead Awards - I love it, but I don't know if it will fit.
California:
Wait, There Are Other States?
lol, you should see my internal geography of the US (from childhood):
California, New England, and the stuff in the middle.
Live in CA, visit family in New England, fly over the stuff in the middle!
On a Native Californian's license plate:
"Welcome To California. When You Leave, Take A Friend!"
Excellent Minnesota motto! Much better than mine. Thanks.
New York: The Wall Street Empire State
Indiana:
- armpit of America
- where the men are men, and the sheep are scared
- run, no seriously run, escape while you can
- hit four deer, your fifth one is free
- what do you mean I'm not saying; huntin' warshin' and crick right
Georgia: "Stripping away your Constitutional Rights...one license plate at a time."
North Dakota - Custer Was Alive When he Left
The crappy part about this (besides having religion shoved down our throats) is that currently, people who want In God We Trust can pay $1 to get the stupid sticker so he wants to reverse that.
I'm so over the religious nutjobs in this state (at least we'll be able to buy beer on Sunday soon!)
Not in Indiana. You can't buy a six pack of beer (or a new car) on Sunday here, and the fundy morons who run everything in this state aren't going to change that any time soon. The only change in alcohol sales they would agree with would be to go back to full scale Prohibition, which I suspect they would dearly love to do.
Indiana: The Dodge Dart of American States.
