This petition was created to gain the needed signatures to bring in front of the board members of the Village of Babylon in Long Island, New York in order to erect a statue of the late Rodney Dangerfield in his honor.

It is known that Mr. Dangerfield gained his roots in the Village of Babylon and this statue would be giving him the “respect” that he longed for.
