Endorse the Decommission Plan

Endless studies, backroom deals, and findings about the unconstitutionality of the tunnel law do not protect the Great Lakes from a Line 5 oil spill. A spill from a pipeline operated by a foreign corporation with a questionable track record would do irreparable harm to Michigan's citizens, tourism, and our blue economy.

Take Action Now and Endorse the Oil & Water Don't Mix Plan to Decommission Line 5

Help us make this stick! We need thousands of endorsements of this plan to show the powers that be that there is a way to take real action now to prevent disaster.

Make a difference now. Let's compel our current leaders to act with the knowledge that thousands support a plan that can actually work.

I don’t trust Enbridge any farther than I can throw them. The only interest they have in this issue is their own. Once that pipeline blows we will be the ones who suffer. It will be generations before we recover.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. There’s enough evidence that this pipeline presents a huge risk to international and state citizens and economies. If more people saw the implications of a disaster in these precious waterways they would march in the streets like many did to stop underground nuclear testing in Alaska nearly 50 years ago. What’s more this line violates laws in the US and Canada under Public Trust Doctrine.

I grew up on the shores of the straits of Mackinac, next to the pipeline, in the middle of the wetlands and bald eagle habitat. I have worked in high tech for 32 years and expect to retire on the shores I grew up on. The risk-reward ratio is simply non tolerable. It’s time to remove the pipeline permanently from the world’s largest collection of of clean fresh water. A tunnel is a bad idea and will cause irreparable harm to the environment as well no foreign corporation should ever be in a position to impose eminent domain uoon our citizens. It’s time for the pipeline to go.

Hopefully our newly elected Governor will be environmentally concerned. Please take Snyder’s name out of your proposal.

We cannot afford to allow this pipeline to continue. It is only a matter of time before it fails. Lets be proactive and protect one of the largest sources of fresh water in the world.
