    You've argued your case successfully re: "too many" plates, no question [a problem not unique to CO]. But, all the whining and emphasis on the WWII vet plate option? Bah… Yeah...you are wrong on that IMO.

    I don't give a shit if there is "only ONE WWII vet left driving," if they want the plate, hell yes it’s worth the expense. Purging all the other worthless plates, good deal, I'm right behind you with support but any vet plate backed-up with a supporting DD214, offer it, I don't care what the cost factor is.

    With all the stoopid horse shit I have/continue to "overfund" in this country and state, this is one that I'm fine with in comparison. Give the vets the option.

    my 2 cents

    Vet Plates and ALL Military based plates all only with a DD214.
    Discounted instead of a Premium.
    I have already paid enough, Some of my Brothers and Sisters have paid even more.

    DV Plates are FREE For one. but I think they should be free for any vehicle registered to the disabled veteran at his address.
    My Mother Often drives my Father to appointments, why wouldn't he get to have a DV plate on her car as well?


    You want a Broncos plate or a columbine plate or a whatever?
    Pay up Bub... prepare to dish cash as its a novelty, a luxury item.

    Tribal Plates, Free.

    Just my opinion. Your opinion, however flawed, may differ.

    I was pissed when I found out that just anyone could go and buy Pioneer plates as well. Used to be your family had to have owned land in Colorado for at least 100 years, which my family has.

    Just for the money. Want to pay more money for a plate that will be ignored 99.99999999999999999% of the time? Make a donation.

    Your counter argument is for honoring the veteran and we shouldn't put a price on it. I get that. I understand.

    However, is it really a good use of money and time, given there may be only one veteran who gets the plate? Believe me, I'm all for cutting silliness from the budget and curtailing some of the high dollar salaries in the state govt. But I'm also for responsible spending and this is one that I question. Just throwing the (non) issue out there...
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    I always liked the "Respect Death" plates.

    I had Challenger and Columbia plates when I lived in FL, proceeds went to astronaut safety stuff.

    http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite.../1201542141645

    "
    This commemorative plate recognizes the men from the 10th Mountain Division who fought in the Italian Campaign of 1945."

    There are a number of plates which require proof of service / merit / disability

    http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/Revenue-MV/RMV/1201542141638

    It seems many of the plates are just designed to promote something. I wish I had gotten this one:
    "The Norad license plate is a limited issued commemorative plate that will only be issued from July 1, 2008 through January 1, 2010. Plates issued within this period may continue to use those plates after January 1, 2010 until they become damaged, destroyed, lost, stolen or unreadable."

    I've collected a few license plates, , including my grandfathers from Michigan issued in 1917, plate number 019. Mostly from relatives. Past vanity plates, custom lettering in other states.

    Off topic but I don't care: what kind of
    Fudgetard has to lie about military duty (or anything else for that matter) to get with women?


    On what kind of woman would such a ploy work?

    Maybe I'll try and get another vanity plate up here. Maybe "SSH"... "DIFFIE-HELMAN" is probably too long.
