Vote for Texas
 
I am attempting a modicum of state pride... so here goes...

The "Don't Mess With Texas" slogan has been nominated for a very prestigious award. If it were to win, a Bronze Plaque would be placed on Madison Avenue's "Walk of Fame" and would get a permanent place at the Advertising Icon Museum in Kansas City.

Please go to www.votedmwt.com and vote for it. The competition is tough, like Got Milk?, What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, The breakfast of Champions, and others. So...please vote early and often, and tell your fellow Texans (and sympathizers) to do likewise.

Wouldn't it be cool for New Yorkers to have to walk past a Bronze Plaque every day that said "DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!"

No! :cool:
They'd probably spit on it...seriously...just saying...:p

Sorry - I had to vote for "Give a Hoot. Don't pollute!"

I (and almost everyone I know) always cuts the "Don't" off of those bumper stickers. Everyone I know has a car that says: "mess with Texas"

I voted for diamonds.

I will not vote for Texas. What does that advertise? You can't go to the store and buy some Texas.

RU OX Alum 07-05-2006 08:47 AM

Diamonds are forever, because that was invented before I was born, and ever since I've heard it, I knew I would buy one someday.

Plus, Don't Mess With Texas sounds like a state pride thing, not even really a touristy thing. Viva las Tejas would look better on bumper sticker anyway. That way Oklahomans (Oklahites? Oklahomers?) could not cut them.

I voted for "ONly you can prevent forest fires". How can you not vote for smokey?

I voted for "We Answer to a Higher Authority", just because I've loved it since I was young, hehe :) Plus they make the best saurekaut (sp?).

Don't Mess with Texas is a PR campaign reminding Texans and visitors to please not litter. "Don't Mess" refers to trash.
