Pink Ribbon Challenge!!

Ok, talented friends...I have a challenge for you!

The Governor has SIGNED THE BILL!!! The New Mexico Pink Ribbon License Plate has been approved! Yipppppeeeeee!! The plate has a revenue code at the DMV and all. So, the only thing left to do is--- design and make the plates!! Senator Kernan has a meeting with the design team on March 18th, and has asked for ideas.

This is where YOU come in! I need your ideas :) Come on, I know you are talented! Let's see what you've got!!!!

Scan your ideas and email them to me at: cindyfleharty@gmail.com


I don't know how to "bump" blogs, so here is the original post again about this bill....

Matt and I took a trip up to Santa Fe to attend a Senate sub-committee meeting (Corporations and Transportation). We went to speak on behalf of a bill that we are working on with Senator Gay Kernan. The bill is for a breast cancer license plate --- it will cost $35, $25 of which will go directly to fund a program that screens and educates underprivileged women about breast cancer.

Senator Kernan has been AWESOME!!! She is absolutely amazing. How often is it that you can have an idea, meet a senator at dinner, tell her your idea and then bada-bing, it's a BILL?? I'm feeling refreshed about being an American these days.

We got to Santa Fe and were both prepared to speak, although I was hoping I wouldn't have to! Matt is the ham in our family!! Matt had contacted several big-wigs from cancer organizations so they were also there prepared to speak. When the time came, Matt and Senator Kernan spoke to the committee. Matt did a great job - he's born to be in the spotlight. Then they voted and the rest of us were off the hook. The vote was unanimous!!

I just got a call that the bill passed through the big senate vote 38-0. Unanimous again!! Now, we just need it to pass through the house and then we can all get ready to have pink ribbons on our license plates.
