First Step: Go to your local county court house and trade in your current license plates for organization plates.

You will be charged a $10.00 fee when you exchange your current plates for organization plates. You will also be given new registration stickers at the same time, which is included in the $10.00 fee. If you have a new car to register, the State will not charge this additional $10.00 fee when you request the organization plates at time of registration. The State will charge you the normal fees for registering your vehicle however. Your court house will most likely not know who you should contact for the Choose Life decals yet, but don't worry, they are available through Planning Life in Sioux Falls.

Second Step: Contact Planning Life; 6705 W. 41st Street; Sioux Falls, SD 57106

Phone: 605 361-3275;  visit www.sdchoose-life.org.

States with Choose Life Efforts Underway for a Choose Life Plate  

Colorado: A team has been put together to work on the Colorado Choose Life plate, but there is very little interest in the legislature, even among the conservative, pro-adoption/pro-life members. If you have any suggestions of how to move this effort, please email it to lifeplates@yahoo.com.

Illinois The Illinois plate has been approved by the Federal court. The court ordered the Illinois Secretary of State to produce the Illinois Choose Life plate January 2007. The state appealed the ruling and won. Choose Life Illinois appealed that decision to the US Supreme Court in April 2009, but the court did not accept it as one of the cases it had time for. This means the Circuit court decision stands, thus killing the Illinois Choose Life for now. If you want more information, go to www.ilchoose-life.org or contact Jim Finnegan.

Iowa: Iowa Right to Life (515) 244-1012.is conducting a massive petition drive to gather names of people willing to buy the plate. If you want to help with these efforts, contact  committee@irlc.org at Iowa Right to Life (515) 244-1012.

Michigan: Representative Gary Newell & Senator Valde Garcia have tried for two years to get the Choose Life plate approved without success. They may be able to set up a procedure allowing for administrative approval. There is no contact at this time for efforts in Michigan, but stay tuned.

Nebraska: Choose Life Nebraska is trying to pre-sell 500 plates by 6-30-2010 to submit to the Motor Vehicle Department.

Nevada: We need 1,000 people who will purchase the Nevada Choose Life plate once approved. You can learn more and get a petition to gather signatures of prospective buyers . Email russ@choose-life.org.  Once the petitions are gathered, we will apply to the Department of Motor Vehicles to have the plate produced. Spread the word and get in on this historic effort in Nevada.

New Hampshire: The Knights of Columbus of New Hampshire have agreed to undertake the effort to get the plate approved. More to come.

New Jersey: Application made under the administrative process. Plate denied by New Jersey Motor Vehicles Commission Chief Administrator. Lawsuit filed against the state for discrimination by Alliance Defense Fund on behalf of The Children First Foundation. The Choose Life plate won the first three rounds. For more information, contact Dr. Elizabeth Rex ElizabethRexCFF@aol.com.

New Mexico: The Choose Life plate was approved in New Mexico, but the bill did not provide any funds. They are going back to the legislature to correct that.

New York: Application made under the administrative process. Plate denied by New York Motor Vehicles Department Director, claiming the plate design was "patently offensive". Lawsuit filed against the state for discrimination by Alliance Defense Fund on behalf of The Children First Foundation. The Choose Life plate is winning this suit, but the state is appealing every decision they lose to drag out the suit. We fully expect to win this suit. For more information, contact Dr. Elizabeth Rex ElizabethRexCFF@aol.com.

North Carolina: The Carolina Pregnancy Care Fellowship petitioned the NC legislature in 2009 for a Choose Life specialty Plate.

Texas: Has build a strong grassroots support base for another attempt to get the Choose Life license plate approved in the Great State of Texas. Efforts failed in 2005 & 2009.

Federal Court Denies Efforts to Stop Florida’s Choose Life Plate 

A Federal Appeals Court ruling on a suit filed in January 2002, refused to halt the Florida Choose Life license plate and gave a brief High School Civics lesson to the plaintiffs. Since the opponents to the Florida Choose Life plate had never applied for a plate of their own, the Appeals Court stated, There have been three suits against the Choose Life license plate in Florida and all have been unsuccessful. The U.S. 11^th Circuit Appeals Court ruled, “The first amendment does not require states to authorize the speech of those who have expressed no interest in speaking; it only protects the rights of those who wish to speak. ”The court further upbraided the plaintiff in its opinion saying, “Appellants were counseled in a previous incarnation of this case to apply for a specialty license plate before bringing a First Amendment challenge to Fla Stat 320.08058(30). Hildreth v. Dickenson No. 99-583-CIV-J-21-A, slip op. at 1 (M.D.Fla Dec 22, 1999). Rather than appealing the District Court’s admonition, Appellants chose to try again in this case.” This is a significant ruling as it establishes, at least in the U.S. 11^th Circuit that states with reasonable application processes are not discriminating when the opposition does not use that process to apply for a plate and they cannot claim standing in court unless the do.

Choose Life Display Can Be Brought to Your Area

If you want the Choose Life license plate display in your area, please contact us. The Choose Life license plate effort is a labor of love. Russ & Jill enjoy meeting many of you as they travel around. Remember, they are always looking for opportunities to either speak or set up a Choose Life display at any gatherings of pro-adoption/pro-life folks.
