If the Sons of Confederate Veterans and Rotary Club and Junior Golf Association and Wild Turkey Federation need money, they should go out and raise that money themselves, and not rely on the government to do it for them.

Why not? Isn't the government about helping people? I suppose the real problem is that what is being objected to is a volutary transfer of money. The government is really only about the forcible transfer of money.

Now the organization is trying to add itself to the growing list of groups that use government-issued license plates as fund-raising tools. A spokesman said the Sons of Confederate Veterans simply wanted the state to “treat us equally with other similar groups.”

I don't care what they do. But if they have a program, they cannot exclude a particular non-profit just because the state does not like what it stands for. If they open the door to one, the door, by law, is open to all.

They need to decide what they want to do, do it equally, and then shut up about it.
