In view of the terrible and recurring pain, death, destruction of natural resources and ancient monumnents that arsonists inflict upon beautiful Greece every year and especially this year 2007, we ask from the Greek Government to act in a decisively preventive way, so arsonists should take notice and assume responsibility equal to the the severity of the crime of public arson. We hereby petition the Greek Government to pass laws that will make public arson a capital offense. Greece is the most democratic and tolerant among nations, but as our tolerance is reaching an end after we see such documented criminal behaviour go unpunished year in year out, we have to start exercising our democratic rights for a good and life saving cause: Rid the country of arsonists and send a strong and preventive message to future arsonists.

The scale of destruction caused by recent fires continues to weigh heavily on our national conscience. I am currently coordinating with legal researchers to prepare a formal document for submission to the authorities. Your continued engagement proves that the public is unwilling to accept this recurring damage to our heritage.

The momentum behind this initiative indicates a profound national desire for accountability regarding the devastation caused by arson. It is clear that the public expects a far more rigorous response from the government to protect our land and our historical legacy.

Every summer my heart breaks watching the forests burn. These people are murderers and deserve the ultimate price for what they take from us.

Enough is enough. They destroy our history and our homes and get away with it. Let them face the consequences for good.
