Also, I hope you don’t mind, but I did throw in a little message at the end of the video and in the description directing people to this website to get involved.
I currently am living in Reno, Nevada, but by the end of January I should be driving back to my hometown of West Olive.
Before I moved to Reno, I was working on getting a presentation and public talk set up for the Grand Haven City Mayor and City Council. I was in crunch time and I had to make my move to Reno before I could get anything finalized.
A week or two ago, I was listening in on a phone group chat and it was all about educating on the issue of Line 5 and how we can do something about it.
They mentioned that they have had more success in some cases in getting the County to sign a Resolution, moreso than getting individual cities and townships. Because if the County is on board, then the cities and townships are more likely to follow.
I was wondering if you guys might have some suggestions for bringing the issue up to the Board of Commissioners in Ottawa County. I hope to be working on this as soon as I get back to Michigan.
Thank you all!

I noted on the list of Organizations supporting that Michigan State University College Democrats – East Lansing, MI, has become a member. I don’t see any other Democratic organizations, like county groups. Do you prefer they don’t join?
After 3 years of getting little to no response from my legislators I decided to run as a Green Party candidate for the 86th District Michigan House seat. Shutting down the pipeline has been a key issue for my campaign. As I have progressed in my run I came to realize how much power Dick & Betsy DeVos wield in the state of Michigan. Their massive support of the Republican Party gives them huge clout in Lansing since their party controls the legislature and all seats of power there. Not only do they live in my District, but the world HQ their business Amway is located in it as well.
The oil and gas leaks that have fouled land and water in the last few weeks prompted me to conceive of an event to be held at a public boat launch 1/2 mile east of Amyway World Headquarters. I want to entreat the DeVos’ to use their considerable power to turn off the pipeline BEFORE it faces another winter. Since I believe the safety of such a huge reservoir of freshwater like Lakes Michigan and Huron should rise far above party politics and just boil down to common sense and survival, I have invited a sitting Republican State Senator who has spoken boldly about the danger and introduced a bill to shut it down, Rick Jones, and a sitting Democratic House Member, Winnie Brinks, to participate. This event is NOT about politics, it is about addressing an imminent threat to life in Michigan NOW.
I know it is short notice, but I would love to have someone from your organization come and address the event. We would welcome ANYONE from anywhere in Michigan or the other states that would be equally harmed by a leak to attend.
It is on Sunday October 2nd at 3:00 pm at the public boat launch on the Grand River by the bridge on M-21 in Ada, MI.

Thanks for everything you are doing.
We are a group of students from Northern Michigan University’s Environmental Campaigns course taught by Jess Thompson in charge of organizing the 3rd annual Marquette Climate Walk.
We hope to make this festival the biggest one yet and we need your help!
If you or anyone you know would be interested in joining us celebrate the unique sustainable lifestyle and culture of Marquette we are looking for farmers, artisans, organizations or local businesses to come out and become vendors at Presque to showcase to the community that there are already wonderful movements happening in our state.
The festival is Saturday Sept. 24 at Presque Isle Park starting at 1:30PM-3pm. You can choose to participate in the walk itself or not which starts at noon at the South Beach Parking lot along the bike path. We have reserved the band shell/pavilion area for you to set up tents and tables.
We welcome any and all types of food, exhibits, live- music, handmade goods, outdoor gear-trials or art for you to sell or sample to festival attendees. Just to clarify, this event is VOLUNTARY and we simply are asking for a donation-based vendor fee ($10) to help us cover logistical costs. It’s a great way to reach out to the community, get some publicity, eat some fresh food and support a local cause.
Please let us know if you hold any interest or have any questions about the festival and we look forward to hearing back from you!
Cheers
