Choose Life Plates - now that's an idea
I received a small pamphlet in the mail the other day and found some of the articles really interesting. One of them was for the choose life plates for Oklahoma.
I will be talking to the wife on this one. What's cool about this project is $20 bucks goes to a non-profit organization. According to the article, in 2005, a total of approximately $15,000 in the Choose Life Assistance Revolving Fund was distributed among five crises pregnancy centers. Some may say that's not much, but heh in this world every freaking nickle counts.
Some other things to note on this subject(per article). Despite legal challenges from anti-life opponents, it appears that the Choose life Plate Program is finding favor in the courts. In August, U.S. Chief District Judge Claire Eagan in Tulsa dismissed a lawsuit challenging Oklahoma's law, saying the federal court does not have jurisdiction. In 2002, the federal 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New Orleans, dismissed a similar case from Louisiana. Although federal judges on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, which sits in Richamond, Va., found South Carolina's Choose Life Program to be unconstitutional, the U.S. Supreme Court later refused to hear the appeal.
Currently 16 states, including Oklahoma, off the special Choose Life Plate. Another 18 states, in addition to South Carolina, are actively involved in the process of creating similiar Choose Life License Plate programs.
I checked out the site and downloaded the application. In addition to the funds going to Choose Life you can actually have your funds deposited in the following accounts. Revolving Fund int ehState Treasury to be used by DHS, AGI the Classroom Education Fund, Child Abuse Prevention Revolving Fund, Choose Life Assistance Program, Attorney Generals's Revolving Fund, County of residence of the person purchasing the plates, Breast Cancer Act Revolving Fund, Okahoma Dept of Career and Tech Education Agriculture Revolving Fund, Heart of the Heartland Scholarship and about 5 more including a Childrens Hosptital Revolving Fund. So there seems to be more out there going for a good cause.
Now, I am not going to get into a discussion of Pro-life and Pro-death (I always thought pro-choice was a stupid synonim for choosing death. Realistically one can choose life of the child or not.). So keep those comments to yourself. I found this article to be for a good cause and wanted to share it. Check out your state to
see if they support Pro-life Plates. I did a quick search and came up with the following links.
Show me if my state has Pro-life Plates
I hope you found this particular blog of some use and tag it.

Common Breast Cancer Myths
The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.
Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.
Third is that it is solely hereditary
The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?
Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.
Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
