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 Manna] <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 /> 1 I C3 S��r R <br /> 2 <br /> CA t '\CU <br /> 3 <br /> 4 <br /> 5 <br /> 6 <br /> LLI hereby certify that the above +� a �� 'r'�' '4 � names are those of teg�stered voters m a <br /> Tho T WIl Of Mash e0 ' �'S�,( � �y r �v a P� �*'L• `�ti`' `r '�'' i � r S. .i�§� r '+ be ao-a <br /> P`k' �Q f fiiyi�g� '��.� t A,y 4 ,« �&b- e7,.��++,5��k �t" {r.rr,✓.,� � s,.r„�i°sn�r,.t ry'y�y.`�s 4�r��Y"��.:,"4' key �a' <br /> „,Zt.�b� _�` ✓ t n'r.l aim E fi a�.Yi �� tr� Yi`"4b$t '�� a.J.�'.�;�',S��I'� r�, ^+ <br />
