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 <br /> �Street <br /> rAddress <br /> t aal�1 C4 Lon <br /> J/ "lCX� Ln V`Oo <br /> z �o� � rb�lc <br /> 4 SIlia -,I)L �i.S .I`. , <br /> � 3 ,c?
