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I strongly urge you to take the following actions regarding the ongoing dispute over Enbridge Energy’s outdated and dangerous Line 5 pipeline, which threatens our Great Lakes and climate: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

I am a servant of Lord Yahweh(God) Almighty and the Most High Yahweh in heaven, Lord Jesus Christ who is Yahweh’s son and the Messiah or the Anointed One and the Holy Spirit. Lord Yahweh knows that every time a company drills for oil, it throws the Earth off balance. The more digging is done to the Earth. The more Earth is thrown off balance. Now, the Earth is out of balance. Earthquakes, flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and dryness to Earth; will cause fires and will keep increasing their force. I am a believer in Lord Yahweh and Lord Jesus. I have been a believer early in life. Do you even care about Earth? Do you even care that your Soul will enter Hell? Do you even care about your love ones? We all will leave the Earth when it is our time. One day Lord Yahweh will tell his son Lord Jesus, it is time to return Earth. Will you be ready? I am afraid you will not understand what I have just said until you die off this Earth. Thank you for taking the time to read my comments.
Truly
Ms. Carla S. Wasson
