Urge President Biden to Act on Line 5

TAKE ACTION

Sign this petition to urge President Biden to act to protect the Great Lakes and climate from America's Most Dangerous Pipeline

SIGN THE PETITION

It's time for President Biden to revoke the presidential pipeline permit and shut down the Enbridge Line 5 crude oil pipeline. An oil spill from this unnecessary pipeline in the Great Lakes threatens the drinking water of 40 million people. If it ever gets built, an oil tunnel in 10 years is not a solution to this urgent threat. He must act now to protect the Great Lakes from Enbridge's damaged, dangerous, old pipelines. Enbridge experts testified, and other independent reports attest that a pipeline shutdown would have little impact on energy prices.

Dear President Biden,

I strongly urge you to take the following actions regarding the ongoing dispute over Enbridge Energy’s outdated and dangerous Line 5 pipeline, which threatens our Great Lakes and climate:

Revoke the presidential permit for the Line 5 pipeline - the presidential permit is predicated upon Enbridge’s compliance with their easement agreement with Michigan. Enbridge violated that easement from 1968 until Governor Whitmer revoked it in 2020.

...petition continues below.

File supportive briefs in the appropriate court of jurisdiction, making it clear that Michigan has the authority to revoke the Line 5 easement and shut down the pipeline.
Prevent improper use of the 1977 Transit Pipeline Treaty with Canada - Canadian attempts to keep Line 5 operating by invoking the Treaty are ill-founded and disingenuous. The 4th article of the treaty allows the exact kind of conduct to protect the environment and public trust resources pursued by Governor Whitmer and the Bad River Band.
Follow the global commitment of COP28 to begin transitioning away from fossil fuels. Future generations are counting on you.

This administration must protect our water and start taking action on climate change. Please take these actions today.

Corporations have proven time and time again, they will say anything to get their profit, they will create environmental catastrophes to get their profit. We cannot afford for their lies to destroy the precious commodity we have with the Great Lakes. It is our duty to stop this before it too becomes a catastrophe

The great lakes are one of the largest fresh water sources in the world. Absolutely NO amount of money compares to the devastation of losing these precious resources. Please think of the next generation.

No new lines! Please stop poisoning us!

We can do better than just giving Enbridge a free pass on this deteriorating line. We’ve seen some 30 times in recent past and most recently in Kalamazoo, MI how they take care of their aging infrastructure.

Please protect our Great Lakes and climate and prevent the Enbridge Line 4 oil pipeline from continuing under any guise. I uncerstand there was a treaty with this Canadian Company in 1977 to follow certain guidelines and keep up inspections and the like which has not been followed. Please keep this treaty, especially if not kept now, no treaty would be respected in the future. I want clean waters for the Great Lakes and all connecting lands through to the St. Lawrence river into the sea. Spilled oils are dangerous and kill all kinds of life and Enbridge has not kept its promises nor has it cleaned up completely dangerous existing spills like the Michigan Kalamazoo spill 10 years ago. I beg you to keep our Treaty and to keep the oils away from our lakes and lands, especially by a Canadian Company. Blssings, Sister Marie Kopin, C.PP.S.
