Sarah Peake <br /> Nuclear Regulatory Commission Rep. David Vieira <br /> Federal Emergency Management Agency Rep. Randy Hunt <br /> Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency Rep. Cleon Turner <br /> Barnstable County Commissioners Rep. Brian Mannal <br /> Senator John Kerry Rep. Timothy Madden <br /> Senator Elizabeth Warren Congressman William Keating <br /> or take any other action related thereto. <br /> Submitted by Petition <br /> Explanation: The petition will show support for the safety of Mashpee residents in the event of a major radiological <br /> accident from the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth, Ma. Cape Cod's unique geographic location will make it <br /> impossible for residents to evacuate. MEMA director Kurt Schwartz has stated the Cape Cod's two bridges will be closed <br /> to allow the people with in ten miles of the Nuclear Plant to escape. Exiting traffic off Cape Cod would interfere with <br /> their evacuation. Therefore, because the safety of Cape Cod residents and visitors including those people in Mashpee <br /> cannot be achieved we are asking to shut down the Plymouth Nuclear Power Station. <br /> # Print Name Legibly Signature Print Street Address <br /> Ci <br /> ' -..1' lid ,uc 1wa- a 6/I tee, • ✓ <br /> 2 <br /> Eli <br /> s /V -Phi �� 11� ( Svc <br /> 4 l� ru <br /> — <br /> 5 J ` R�r .. <br /> v i <br /> r 4�r q`�'sa.Y c,�, "''8, r a.r�'-' to r § r ✓ n; ^,&.
