I'm assuming this is legit. If so, we need it. It's about half way down the page. Says they only need 1000 commits to make it. Pass it around on your social media and let's get this tag.

Thanks for the link. I am a fan of the history and message of the imagery, and a supporter of the Foundation for Moral Law. Count me in.
I am pre-commitment #6. (I am not a number... I am a free man!)  (Oh, and in before all the Moore haters here.  ) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: so how does this work, we just commit and when it comes time to renew we pay and get it? Here is the language from the confirmation e-mail I received: This email serves as receipt of payment in the amount of $50.00 for pre-commitment(s) for the Don't Tread On Me distinctive license plate category. If the sponsoring organization is successful in obtaining the requisite number of pre-commitments, license plates will be manufactured and distributed to licensing offices. Once plates become available in the licensing offices, a pre-commitment redemption voucher will be emailed to this email address. The redemption voucher must be presented to the licensing official in order to obtain the license plate. If the sponsoring organization is not successful in obtaining the requisite number of pre-commitments, please contact the organization to discuss any possible refunds. Please use the following link to track the status of the pre-commitment process for this license plate category, https://precommit.mvtrip.alabama.gov/UserCommit/Index I'm not sure why the quote function isn't working for me.  |

Please note that there is a box at the very top of the application screen to check to indicate that you plan to personalize the tags if they are successful in achieving the required number of commitments.
I completely missed that somehow and will have to try and correct it after the fact, since I do plan to personalize it.

It's a matter of exposure. No one knows this plate option exists. I think there are many (well over 1,000 anyway) Alabamians who would LOVE to have this plate -- only IF they knew it existed.

I would have thought that a Ten Commandments tablets symbol would be more relevant for that organization; the "don't tread on me" snake is more of a tea party symbol. Anyhow, it looks to me like a pretty cool design. I'm not a fan of the yellow color though, but I guess they wanted it to look like the Gadsden Flag. |

FWIW, Moore was a keynote speaker at one of the first (maybe THE first, IDK) National Tea Party Conventions, in Nashville IIRC. And the FML is about so much more than the "the 10 Commandments"... much like Moore himself, though that's no doubt what he's bound to always be remembered by. It seems like a good fit to me, but YMMV. Like I said in my initial reply, I both like the design AND support the FML... but I am quite sure there are some folks who will choose not to buy one just because of the Moore/FML connection. Such is life.

So you pay $50 to maybe be able to get a tag?
Have any of you been charged yet? I'd get one if it wasn't asking for CC info upfront. On second thought after I see what the FML is all about I doubt I'll get one. They seem to be all about "defending the Constitution Holy Bible" Not that I have a problem with that, it's their right. But the Gadsden "Don't Tread On Me" means something a little different than that to me. Probably get railed for that especially in the AL HTF but... Don't Tread On Me, bro. |

Nope, there are several here who don't care for Moore (be it personally, what he stands for, or how he went about some things) and/or don't care for the FML itself (because of its ties to him/his family or for other reasons entirely). I both personally like him and support the FML, myself, but to each his own.  |

Apparently, they've done a bit of "bait and switching" for this plate. The original plate required 1000 precommits (of which I did two) and the Gadsden Flag was the entire plate. I just checked the status of it and it is approved with only 250 precommits; unfortunately, the approved plate is now completely white with the Gadsden Flag occupying a small portion of the left side of the plate and limiting it to 5 digits.

...and just to confirm that it was a bait and switch, I emailed Mrs. Moore and here's the response I received:
"We have had an overwhelming response to the new design. The new design is much more visible as it is black and white with 1/2 yellow and a much bigger snake. A decision was made to drop to a different class in order to get the tags made available much sooner. The state has not released any info on who purchased nor have they released the funds associated. When they do, if you do not want yours you are welcome to have your funds returned to you. You must do so in writing when you are notified by the state. Thank you!" |

Translation: "We saw that we would lose money once our tag didn't meet the pre commits of 1000, so we changed it so we could push it through in hopes of getting more people to send us money later on instead of just now. We value that $41.25 from each tag sold and this will let us keep getting the funds each year as long as the people renew their tag. Plus whoever else buys a tag later. If the original design failed we would only get the pre commit funds. Thank You. Foundation of Moral Law. |

EW I liked the original much better as well, and personally have zero interest in the new one (esp. with only 5 digits available to personalize). They clearly weren't going to get enough commitments to do the full tag design and it only takes 1/4 as many to secure the stickered "specialty" tags. I have no heartburn over then changing their strategy, as long as those who committed before the change (like us) can opt out of the new design in favor of something else (or just a refund). Unlike most here, I actually like both CJ Moore and the Foundation... but I'm still not going to be happy if I end up stuck with a tag that different from what I committed to, even if it is for just one year.

I also emailed the Alabama Dept. of Revenue Director of Motor Vehicle Division, Ms. Brenda Coone. Basically, she said that Ms. Moore was in her right to change the tag and that it didn't matter that people precommitted for the original tag. She told me that once the specialty tag funds were released to Ms. Moore's organization, my payment would be returned to me.
