 I removed “citizen-based” because it really doesn’t mean anything at all. It is a word that seems to have been invented by FFPIR and is much too POV.  I also consider it a stretch to list new laws as “victories” for Environment California when it was actually legislators that did it (and other groups lobbied as well). Other minor changes were made to make less POV. I removed the “politics” section because it was redundant and moved the relevant contents up to “history”.
