Illinois offers Obama license plates
Posted February 13, 2009 10:00 pm
If you're an Illinois motorist, President Barack Obama now can grace your vehicle's bumper.
Drivers can buy a set of temporary license plates featuring Obama's picture and a waving American flag that are legal starting Tuesday. They're good until April 17, cost $50 and sport the slogan, "Illinois Salutes President Barack Obama."
The money collected from the plates will go to the Illinois Library Association and a children's summer reading program called iRead.
Motorists can pick up the plates at this weekend's Chicago Auto Show or online at ila.org/obama.
