9/13/16 This petition began as a desperate plea to Ohio's Governor Kasich & President Obama to declare a state of emergency for the State of Ohio and is still such.  The verbiage has been edited today to reflect this.  We have also made edit today to ask each State's Governor to follow suit and declare a state of emergency to address the heroin epidemic in their state!
