1 Falana FrayAward Bob Marley the Order of National Hero. This is an international calling and appeal to the Jamaican Government to make Robert Nesta Marley the 9th National Hero.

3 Stacy HarrisIt's about time!!!
4 Garvin GrayBim!
5 Ian ForrestLets rush to a million signs with this and shame/shock the reactionary awards committee in Jamaica into placing Marley where he has already earned his spot...as an official National hero of Jamaica.
6 Eion DreadlessRasI support this without hesitation. Bob Marley has done so much for Jamaica and the human spirit than any other Jamaican has ever done. One cold, rainy, winter day I jumped into a cab. I was having a bad day. The cab driver, who is African, had a Bob Marley CD playing. During the trip I listened and sang softly to the songs. The cab driver was doing the same. At one point I said out loud, "You can never go wrong with a Bob Marley tune, uh." The cab driver agreed. My gloomy spirit was changed for the rest of the day. Long live the spirit of Bob Marley - National Hero of Jamaica.
7 Lisa SamBob's philosophy has had an impact on millions of people's live's. He should be a national hero of Jamaica.

10 AnonymousThis honor is way past due. Had Marley been completely white, they would have statues off him all over the world and called him genius/ amazing. We need a black man to have and honor as our own. This should not have come to all these discussions, there is no need for a vote it should be done and it should be recognized and it should be a law.

21 KenKi TesfayeWith all due respect to the government of Jamaica, this is a no-brainer. And in no way do I believe I can impose my will upon your decisions, I did want to simply share my view. Thanks.

25 Anthony ChanceI support this petition to make Bob Marley a National Hero in Jamaica. Bob's life work have set the stage for Jamaica and the world it it amazing how a person just in his mid thirties could have been so powerful. Truly a humanitarian and great lover of the human race. Selah!

38 AnonymousIt's long overdue, Bob Marley has done more for making Jamaica more recognizable on a global scale than any other Jamiacan besides Marcus Garvey (my personal opinion)

41 Andrea BullensWe need to get rid of the politicians in Jamaica - they are not visionaries but a bunch of gold diggers - they recognise the man only after the rest of the world did. After all - the 'Rasta man was the Black heart man who should be feared' is what we were taught as kids and that's not so long ago. As Bunny Wailer said - they use to laugh at them for eating ital food and vegetables - now the world is encouraging the vegetarian lifestyle for good health and longevity - so now - who has the vision? - Give the man what's due to him. After all when I travel to the deep parts of Africa and they ask me where I'm from and I say Jamaica - they don't have a clue - when I say same place as Bob Marley - they all know where......so Fire for politrixers the RASTAMAN.

43 Almerice BrownBob Marley ought to be made a national hero. He is most deserving! His music is timeless. His powerful messages are being sung/recited throughout the world. It is time!

46 AnonymousNo one has brought as much notoriety to the Island's cause socially, geographically and musically as Bob Marley and the Wailers did. He took Jamaica’s music to a new summit and stamp Jamaican’s voice on it. Look beyond the hair and personal idiosyncrasies. He is someone to look up to, a National Hero for Jamaica.
47 Arlene MartinI would greatly appreciate Bob being a National Hero.
48 IrinaBob Marley RULES! ONE LOVE!
