Bottle deposits were initiated to cut down on bottle waste. However, there is a lot of waste going on at the bottle machine locations.

This initiative is driven by the desire to bring about the kind of change in the history curriculum taught in schools across the country that better prepares all students to understand and engage in events of national and international significance. To achieve this end, history must be taught in a manner that is free from bias and based on the most recent scholarship. In the state of California, world history is introduced to students in sixth grade starting with ancient civilizations. Concerned with an inadequate and outdated coverage of the ancient Persian civilization by the public school curricula, a group of California parents came together to address this problem. For more detail, please see www.historyadvocates.com. Currently in the Senate, Bill SB 1057 is addressing these very concerns: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB1057

There are a lot of things in life that we do not like or agree with but do not affect us directly. I feel Chem-Trails affect me directly. Chem-Trails is just one of hundreds of hush hush programs that the federal government doesn't want to discuss. Is that because the suspicions about the contents of these Trails are accurate and are harmful to the environment and our health. Disclose the purpose of the program and the composition of the chemicals used in them or discontinue the program is my position toward it.

I live in Manassas,VA, and see this rubbish every day. Rubbish turns our town into a ghetto.

As we have got enough of project Haarp, that destroy the planet and Humanity, then we must stop Chemtrails all over the world.

It is time for EVERY industry to clean up its act, or simply our planet will continue heading towards an ecological disaster of untold proportions. The construction industry is waaaay behind, and there are no valid excuses anymore. To a beautiful green planet -- Gian

Their are memebers in congress who have been bought to do the will of corporations or special interest groups like big oiland coal. But if there are limits to their time maybe good can be done by them before they sell their souls over a longer period of time.

This is a painless way to limit carbon pollution from autos.

Protecting small farms in Michigan should be a top priority. Many farmers' markets are a consortium of small farms producing local produce. This is a vital part of local economies in many areas in Michigan and around the country. Michigan lawmakers should support the rights of individuals not just the interest of big business.

PRO-1 is professional limited rules Mixed Martial Arts (“MMA”) bouts and AM-1 is amateur limited rules kickboxing bouts. Both PRO-1 and AM-1 utilize MMA and kickboxing rules already approved by CSAC. PRO-1 and AM-1 simply limit the types of offensive moves allowed by each fighter based on round. PRO-1’s limited MMA rules are: (1st Rd) Limited striking with fists; (2nd Rd) Open striking; and (3rd Rd) Unlimited MMA. AM-1’s limited kickboxing rules are: (1st Rd) Limited striking with fists; (2nd Rd) Limited striking with fists & kicks; and (3rd Rd) Full striking. In November 2011, CSAC Executive Officer George Dodd approved PRO-1/AM-1. IFS held PRO-1 and AM-1 fights, all of which were sanctioned by CSAC over the course of four events from 3/4/12 through 2/10/13. Then, new CSAC executive officer Andy Foster suddenly informed IFS that CSAC would no longer sanction PRO-1 and AM-1 fights. IFS went before CSAC and presented information on why CSAC has the authority under Business and Professions code section 18640 to continue to sanction PRO-1/AM-1 fights promoted and held by IFS. To date, CSAC has still not given its approval to re-sanction PRO-1/AM-1 fights. The events held by the IFS in 2012 and 2013 with PRO-1/AM-1 fights were successful, with large fan and fighter support and brought needed revenue to California and attention to the local Southern California fight world. We hereby respectfully demand Department of Consumer Affairs, California State Athletic Commission, re-sanction PRO-1 and AM-1 and immediately approve the IFS to promote and hold future sanctioned PRO-1 and Am-1 fights in California

Plutocrats have stolen our democracy and the We the People want it back. As your employers, we command politicians to give our democracy back to us. The technology exists to give the public veto power over all legislation.

My petition is for Lansing's schools to gain education about pollution and the like. My little brother is in jr. high, and they're hardly learning about it at all. They need to learn! Please sign my petition to start teaching children and teens all about pollution.
