Over 332 Georgia resident Tiger fans have now prepaid to reserve their LSU license plate. The numbers are rising again, but we need 1,000 prepaid orders to start production and the clock is ticking. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT TO APPLY!. Last June, Georgia Department of Revenue Commissioner Bart L. Graham has approved the LSU Atlanta Alumni Chapter's request for special interest or commemorative license plates in the state of Georgia. We have until April 24, 2010 to collect 1,000 pre-paid applications for the plates. Applicants do not need to be an LSU alum. If we reach 1,000 applications, the state will begin production, and LSU can join Auburn, Florida and Clemson as out-of-state schools with Georgia plates. All money collected resides in an escrow account so you will either get a new plate or your money refunded. We need EVERYONE to help spread the word to LSU fans all over the state to reach our goal. HOW TO APPLY: 1. Print and complete an Application www.lsuatlanta.com/files/GATagApplicationMV-9Q_SpecialTag_LSU.pdf2. Write a Check to: Louisiana State University Atlanta Alumni Chapter 3. Mail the Application along with a $25.00 fee to: Sarah Clayton, LSU Atlanta, 2221-D Peachtree Rd NW, # 344, Atlanta, GA 30309 (Please note the contact and address have changed from that shown on the application- however, please send it to Sarah at our main address shown above.) Here's all the details: Each applicant for the LSU Alumni license plate must submit a Special Interest License Plate application and a $25 manufacturing fee to the Chapter between now and the end of our 2 year period of approval on April 24, 2010. The funds shall be collected by the Chapter and held in a special non-interest bearing account until 1,000 applications have been received. After we receive 1,000 applications for the LSU Alumni license plate, the Chapter shall submit one check to cover all manufacturing fees along with the 1,000 applications for the LSU plate to the Georgia Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Division. And, in the unlikely event the Chapter does not reach 1,000 paid applications within the 2 year period of approval, the plate will not be manufactured and the Chapter will return all fees collected to our applicants. Note: License plate numbers will be distributed on a 1st come, 1st serve basis. The first 100 plates (numbers 001 – 100) require an additional charge of $25 (for a total of $50 per plate). If you have any questions, please e-mail our committee chairwoman, Michele Heiger at: mecatl@comcast.net. The chapter would like to thank Michele for a dedicated 18 months of effort to gain approval from the Georgia Department of Revenue to accept applications for the plates. Please also help us spread the word about this opportunity for LSU license plates in Georgia. The faster we receive 1,000 applications, the sooner you can have an LSU plate on your car.

Snopes says this is false. Why does a car on blocks in the backyard need a license plate anyway? Red

I am opposed in principle to any Georgia license plate bearing the name and/or logo of any out-of-state college or university.

I am opposed in principle to any Georgia license plate bearing the name and/or logo of any out-of-state college or university. Why? Here's the way I look at it: I can buy a $1 bumper sticker and show my support for LSU on the rear of my car. The State of GA gets 4% of that transaction if the bumpersticker is bought here. On the license plate, the state gets $25 after 1,000 people are guaranteed to buy one. That puts $25k into the state coffers. If I'm a fan of an out-of-state college and want to show my support on my vehicle, I think it's a smart move for the state to cash in on it.

The state is cutting back on teacher's salaries to help with budget constraints. Red
