In order to assist advocates in fighting against these divisive bills, we have assembled a number of tools and resources, including talking points, suggested social media posts, and an action alert template.

Talking POints

1. Christian nationalists are attempting to further their false version of American history by passing [Bill#], which would make special “In God We Trust” license plates available for a fee [and give that money to religious groups].

2. Creating special “In God We Trust” license plates is exclusionary and divisive. Citizens have a variety of beliefs -- Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, atheist, to name just a few. The state should not be imposing a particular religious viewpoint.

3. [Bill#] would cause the state government to fund religious groups through the purchase of special license plates. Funds provided to these organizations lack transparency and accountability. If religious groups want to raise funds, they can do so -- but the government shouldn’t be fundraising for them.

4. Freedom of religion means the government cannot impose a religious viewpoint on anyone. [Bill #] is an obvious effort by special interests to impose their religion on everyone else.

5. Similar license plate bills have been struck down because it is unconstitutional for the state to favor specific religious viewpoints. Taxpayers should not have to pay to defend a law that is unnecessary and unconstitutional.

.@ELECTED-OFFICIAL, #Bill-Number is unfair and exclusionary. Please oppose efforts to undermine the separation of religion and government. #LicensePlateScam #BlitzWatch

.@ELECTED-OFFICIAL, Oppose #Bill-Number! This bill would cause the government to provide funds to religious organizations without transparency or accountability for each license plate purchased. #LicensePlateScam #BlitzWatch

Subject: Oppose Controversial License Plates (Bill#)

I write to ask you to oppose [Bill#], a controversial bill currently before the [Legislative Body] that would create special “In God We Trust” license plates [and donate the money raised by these plates to religious organizations]. Bills like this are being proposed by special-interest groups across the country to undermine our freedom of religion.

Creating “In God We Trust” license plates is exclusionary and divisive. Citizens have have a variety of beliefs -- Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, atheist, to name a just a few. The state should not be imposing a particular religious viewpoint.

[[#Bill] would cause the state government to fund religious groups through the purchase of special license plates. Funds provided to these organizations lack transparency and accountability. If religious groups want to raise funds, they can do so -- but the government shouldn’t be fundraising for them.]

Please oppose this unnecessary and unconstitutional legislation.

Subject: [State] Residents: Put the Brakes on Religious License Plates

A bill to put the phrase "In God We Trust" on <STATE> license plates is motoring through the legislature. Creating special “In God We Trust” license plates is exclusionary and divisive. Citizens have have a variety of beliefs -- Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, atheist, to name a just a few. The state should not be imposing a particular religious viewpoint. Please take action today to put the brakes on this unacceptable violation of the Constitution.

[In addition to creating special license plates, this bill would donate the money raised by these plates to religious organizations. Funds provided to these organizations lack transparency and accountability. If religious groups want to raise funds, they can do so -- but the government shouldn’t be fundraising for them.]

The bill is part of a larger organized effort to flood state legislatures across the country with Christian nationalist legislation, known as Project Blitz. Like other Project Blitz bills, this bill’s open endorsement of  particular religious viewpoint violates the First Amendment and erodes the freedom of religious. We need your help to stop it.
