Would it be too much to ask of elected politicans to make a license plate honoring these young men and women? Apparently so. Here in California-- under the leadership of Senate Pro Tem Don Perata --a man who is more interested in offering a non-binding measure on our state ballot to retreat-in-defeat from Iraq. The cynical part of this equation is that Perata is doing this in order to draw voters to approve his measure to extend term limits so he can stay in power. The lack of action on Gold Star Family license plates in our state legislature is disgusting.

It. Truly. Sickens. Me.
