Please don’t get my hopes up by making me imagine the icebound demise of Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe…
I have always thought the state motto for California was “Welcome to California, now go home.” Lately, though, I think it is more like “Welcome to California, please spend money and get us out of bankruptcy, then go home.”
And I agree with the other commenters. We need you to do the provinces and rest of the states.
Here’s someone else’s list:

Didn’t really like the Georgia one. The whole “Southerners are racist” trope is outdated and offensive. The majority of southerners are not hostile bigots.
And yet, still funny.
Oh, more mottos:
Hawaii: Anyone caught saying “Book ‘em, Danno” will be thrown to the sharks.
Maryland: Sorry about the corruption. It drifts in from D.C.
Iowa: Hey, Norman Borlaug was born here. That’s something, right?
off-topic, for ces:

Perhaps the Georgia one should be changed to “You better not be gay, son.” (And gay and tan – ooh, that’s just asking to be arrested.)
Andy: Actually, “You better not be gay, son” is one of Iran’s national mottoes (Oh snap!)
the maine one represents the #1 reason why i have absolutely no plans to ever visit there unless i absolutely have to. cold weather: ick.
I like that the whole state of Arkansas works at fast food
The Indiana one is spot on. The actual motto is “Crossroads of America.” You know, as in “This is what you drive through to get wherever it is you’re ACTUALLY going.”
Okay, the Arkansas one was much…much better than my suggestion XD
@Turquoise cow, the reports of cold weather in Maine are greatly exaggerated – it only went to -20° F twice last winter, and then only for a week at a time.
I was sort of expecting to be mildly offended at the Indiana one. but, meh… pretty close really. In fact, this comment may prove it…
@Jim
Oh, yes we are all racist bigots.
New Jersey: We don’t want nobody nobody sent
Georgia: Coloreds Welcome!
