What to get the Dodge Charger Owner who has Everything

Florida State Rep. Don Brown is a man of many passions. He enjoys fishing and woodworking. Oh, and he luuuuuuuuurvs him some Confederate flags.

So intense is his passion for old Dixie, he wants to put it on license plates in our fair state:

He is sponsoring House Bill 1007, which would approve a license plate paying homage to “Confederate Heritage.”

The very idea has already spurred passionate discussion.

“It sounds like they’re going to make a mountain out of a molehill on this one,” said Brown, R-DeFuniak Springs.

Nah. Not something as seemingly innocent as Dixie.

Under the bill, motorists would pay $25 for the tag. The money collected would support education and cultural activities sponsored by the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

The organization shelled out $60,000 to file an application for the plate’s consideration and collected 30,000 signatures from people willing to buy a tag.

Brown, who in his fourth term, has a reputation as a maverick in the House and has sometimes been harsh in his criticizing Gov. Charlie Crist. He said he had no idea his Confederate Heritage bill would create controversy.

Little known fact: This is the second bill Brown has introduced concerning license plates.

The first? A plate that read "Welcome to Florida. Now go home" with a flaming cross in the center.
