Allow Professional Videography on Public Lands Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/allow-professional-videography-on-public-lands.html Online petition signatures en-us Mon, 6 Apr 2026 05:15 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr Adam Ham [Signature #333] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/24381734?utm_medium=rss The National park system belongs to THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES! Not allowing people to film on their personal cell phones if they have a YouTube account Sounds an awful lot like something Russia or China would do not the United States. We need to get rid of politicians and officials who want complete control over the people and to keep cutting freedoms. I along with my family will no longer support politicians who support draconian laws such as this.
