Baxter Area E85 ReturnI have been in contact with a few owners of gas stations in the Baxter/Brainerd area that seem interested in bringing E85 fuel back to the area, But they need to know the demand for it. Which is a huge concern as thousands of people all around Minnesota and the neighboring states relied on getting E85 in our area for events at Brainerd International Raceway and to visit the area, also many locals are affected by this. This hurts the local economy as well. We see tons of traffic come through the area in the summer and many of those people rely on E85 for their vehicles. E85 is in huge demand in the brainerd lakes area. We need to bring it back.452 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Greg

Reinstate Artwork Censored by Kennesaw State University PresidentDear President Daniel Papp, As members of the metro Atlanta art community, we are dismayed and disappointed by the decision of Kennesaw State University President Daniel Papp to remove a commissioned artwork by Ruth Stanford from the inaugural exhibition of the university’s new Zuckerman Museum of Art, opening this evening, March 1 (VIP reception at 5:00 p.m., public opening at 6:30). KSU is a state public institution with an educational mission that should promote dialogue about history and difficult subjects, not squelch First Amendment rights and artistic expression. Stanford’s work eloquently and tactfully addresses a contentious time in Georgia’s history and KSU’s controversial acquisition of property once owned by author and lynching apologist Corra Harris. In her installation, Stanford explores the complexity of Harris’s views and literary works, which are both “poetic and beautiful,” as Stanford says, and a reflection of the time in which she lived. The “celebratory” opening that President Papp purports to be protecting has already been ruined by his very action, which undermines the autonomy and curatorial integrity of the museum staff. We respectfully request that the Zuckerman Museum be allowed to reinstall Stanford’s artwork and that President Papp issue an apology to the artist and art community.1,427 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Burnaway.org

Their Deaths Mattered, Enforce FDAAA as WrittenIn 2007, thousands and thousands of pets died due to contaminated vegetable protein ingredients imported from China. At the time, Congress realized the seriousness of the recall – and realized the very same reckless contamination could happen to any food (human or animal) unless foods and ingredients of food were clearly defined including a quality standard. Example: the wheat gluten imported from China that resulted in the 2007 pet food recall met the legal definition of the ingredient. But there was no legal/regulatory quality standard of wheat gluten to specifically state it can not contain melamine or other toxic ingredients. FDAAA specifically included 'standards' to protect consumers. Pet food trade groups are trying to influence members of Congress to change FDAAA - removing the very wording (standards) that can help assure consumers another 2007 disaster won't happen. Don't allow pet food/animal feed industry trade groups to remove the pet food ingredient quality standard requirement of FDAAA. The Congressional requirement of FDAAA was to be completed by September 2009. Our pets paid the highest price for these laws, don't allow the unscrupulous actions of industry trade groups to delay this any longer.1,650 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Susan Thixton

Stop the time changeTime changes that happen twice a year are disruptive to people's lives and rest. Having to re acclimate twice a year is very hard on the average person but extremely hard on those of us that suffer from adjustment problems. This causes increase in problems such as depression and sleep disturbances. Since we are no longer a society that has the same needs as when daylight savings time was placed in effect, this practice should be stopped.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Censi Childs

Amend Illinois Cottage Food Law to allow more direct sales of homemade foodsYears ago, I started decorating cakes. And because of a recently passed law in my home state of Illinois, I can now sell my cakes at the Farmers Market to make some money while also watching my grandkids three days a week. This is wonderful! But surprisingly, I am prohibited from handing the very same buttercream-topped cake to someone at the front door. The cake is the same cake yet selling it from the controlled environment of my home is not legal while selling it in conditions that are often less than ideal – like a hot, dusty and buggy Farmers Market in the summer – is perfectly fine. I want Illinois legislators to expand the laws around Cottage Foods (foods made at home) so that home cooks like me can sell the food we make more easily and safely. Being able to do so would mean more financial independence and stability for families like mine because these are skills and resources I already have and can make use of right at home. And it could mean more money for the state, too, through certification fees and licensing. Most importantly, people all over Illinois would be able to buy foods made by someone they know, and that they know were made with great care. They would know their purchase was helping support local families, too, and the state. Please sign my petition and tell Illinois's legislators to expand the overly restrictive Cottage Food Laws to better support Illinois home cooks like me.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kathleen Cherie, with Peers.org
