Signature collection has begun for the Referendum Petition to overturn the California State-Wide Bag Ban (SB 270).  Many registered voters can sign petitions at store entrances in shopping centers where signature gatherers are allowed.  Be sure to stop and sign the referendum petition to force the statewide bag ban bill (SB 270) to voter approval before it can be implemented.

If you do not want the government to take away your choice of bags and force you to pay for paper bags that were previously free, or if you believe in the due process of the people, then make an effort to sign the petition to demand a public vote.  Remember, a public vote has never been taken on this bag ban in California, despite it having been enacted in over 100 cities!

Stop The Bag Ban citizens group has joined in the effort to collect signatures of registered voters to qualify the referendum.  While many of the signatures will be gathered by paid signature collectors, volunteer signature collection shows that the people want to see this go to a vote just as badly as the bag manufacturers, whose businesses are under attack by this bill.

The media will portray this battle as between the well-intentioned environmental groups and the evil bag manufacturers, but completely neglect the common citizens who have to struggle the most under this silly bag ban!

Stop The Bag Ban citizens group has received petitions that are available for signing. If you are interested in making a statement by collecting your own signatures (at no cost), then email them your name, address, and targeted number of signatures and they will send you some petitions.
