Call Schuette to Revoke Line 5 Easement

Missing Coating Line 5 The Canadian oil transport company, Enbridge, knew that the coating on their Line 5 pipeline has been damaged for at least three years. But time and time again, they have lied by telling us and the State of Michigan that their pipeline that runs through the heart of the Great Lakes is in "like new condition."

Stop the Lies - Shut down Line 5

The State says they are frustrated by the Enbridge lies. But that is not enough. Attorney General Bill Schuette has the authority - today - to shut down the pipeline. It's not enough to be frustrated. Now is the time for him to act.

Monday, November 6 is a day of action. Make a phone call to AG Schuette and report your call below. It's time for all of us to demand that he revoke Enbridge's easement to use the Great Lakes and begin the process of decommissioning Line 5 now.

Will You Make the Call?

Call AG Schuette's office: 517-373-1110

Use the following TALKING POINTS to help develop your message:

Enbridge has repeatedly been caught with a failing, incurable Line 5 which it can no longer fix, and is covering it up. Last week they admitted they knew about missing protective coating in 2014 and didn't tell the state until this year.
It's a double standard to give this company chance after chance to comply with the law when the average citizen doesn't get such breaks.
The Attorney General has the authority and mandate to revoke the easement under which Enbridge is operating -- the public owns the waters and Enbridge is a guest. It’s up to Enbridge to prove it can operate It's time for the Attorney General to act.

First answer is an operator who will transfer you to a recording with option of 1 or 2. #1 had a really long recorded message, then had to wait to get a real person. That person listened but suggested I send a written message and was going to give me email address, but I said I could find it. Nobody commented on substance of message. Option 2 might get a live person faster?

I made the call to the AG’s office. Office staff had said he has no stated position on this.

My response is that an environmental disaster would not go well with their neighboring states and Canada. We do not want an environmental externality to sully 20% of the world’s freshwater source !

Oil Spill in ocean or any where is the cause of negligence of the company because oil spill in water creating so many diseases .Attorney General gas the authority and mandate to revoke the easement under which Enbridge is operating— the public owns the waters and enbridge is a gust.It’s up to enbridge to prove it can operate it’s time for the Attorney General to act .

This is my personal experience in my life ,once time oil spilled from refinery in Contra Costa County in California in 1987, every thing was messed up,animals, birds people get sick and so many people catch cancer from that spill.
