I need some advice about a situation that came up today.  As fellow
breastfeeding advocates, I am certain you will steer me in the right
direction.  I rarely post, but do follow the list several times/day.  Any
feedback will help.

Recently, I applied for a license plate from the state of Colorado--
BRSTFD1 and was approved; however, I changed my mind after the approval
letter came, and I submitted a request for BRSTFDM (to stand for
Breastfeed Them)instead.  Today I received a letter from the Department of
Revenue, Motor Vehicle Business Group that says:

Your request for the following special license plates is BEING REJECTED
and CANNOT be processed.  The special license plate REQUESTED AND THE
REJECTION code are indicated below.  06-- Possibly offensive to the
general public.

First, they approve the BRSTFD1, then reject BRSTFDM.  Am I missing
something here?  Because if there is a possible "offensive" interpretation
to the latter, can someone here please point it out to me?  I am prepared
to cause a bit of a fuss over this, not because I HAVE to have this plate,
but because of the principle (always the principle); however, I would
first like some guidance from my fellow breastfeeding advocates.  If it's
not worth the fight or might possibly cause "problems" for those of us who
try to keep breastfeeding peace, then I will just leave it alone.  Any
advice will be greatly appreciated.
