Return President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize with the condition that Edward Snowden be nominated for consideration.

Created by D.P. on July 12, 2013

This petition requests President Obama return his Nobel Peace Prize with the condition that Snowen be considered as a future recipient.

In 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The response was mixed. Obama stated, "I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations." Since then, Obama expanded surveillance of U.S. and foreign citizens and charged 8 whistleblowers under the the Espionage Act, compared to 3 in previous administrations.

Edward Snowden leaked details of the NSA's unconstitutional surveillance practices, including PRISM, triggering a global examination of privacy and civil rights.

Help call for Snowden's Nobel nomination.
