Keep Centralia, PA residents in their homes Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/keep-centralia-pa-residents-in-their-homes.html Online petition signatures en-us Sun, 26 Apr 2026 07:53 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Jameson Shipley [Signature #453] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/21077597?utm_medium=rss They should be able to stay because it is their home and nobody has the right to kick them out of their home. Anyone who thinks they can remove someone from their house has another thing coming. And they will have to take it up with me if they have a problem with what I say. And I can say whatever I want to say because it is my God given right. Now I know I'm only 14 but this would mean a lot to you if someone was trying to force you off your land. So everyone that still lives up in Centralia fight and never stop.

Looking as though a nuclear holocaust happened. Road, and sidewalks, leading to nothing on perfectly good ground. I could only imagine if this had been my families heritage!! The hurt to realize this many years later, the destruction that was told never occurred. Only the destruction the state created. The families and few homes that are still in this area are beautifully kept with pride. Do not allow this delusion to continue and remove these families from their heritage, their homes. Please stop the destruction and give the rights to this town back to her citizens who have stood their ground and fought long and hard for it. Emminent domain was a possibility when it began, but now the fire has shown its path and has remained contained in one vein. Give these proud people back their homes.
