You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
We cannot accept duplicate petitions. We think this petition is similar to yours:

You might like to sign this petition instead. It is more likely to get more signatures that way.
