SIGN THE PETITION

This is how we make our government accountable to the people. We'll deliver your signature to tell Gov. Whitmer the will of the people is to #ShutDownLine5

Building a tunnel for Enbridge Line 5 through the Straits of Mackinac is not a solution to protect the Great Lakes, 400 other water bodies, including Lake Michigan, or our dangerously overheating climate.

Oil BurnSign to protect the Great Lakes from *another Line 5 oil spill

Dear Gov. Whitmer:

An oil tunnel through the public bottomlands of the Straits of Mackinac won’t protect the Great Lakes from a 645-mile long, 73-year-old Line 5 crude oil pipeline that has leaked at least 33 times into Michigan's environment. Even when its oil isn't spilling into the water, it adds to our climate crisis when burned by spilling carbon into the atmosphere every day. The time to end the threat of a catastrophic oil pipeline rupture is now. Instead of leaving a vulnerable and hazardous oil pipeline operating in the Mackinac Straits for years while trusting a dishonest Enbridge to protect the Great Lakes, I support your action to revoke the Line 5 easement and urge you to prevent an oil tunnel from being constructed.

* Yes, Enbridge Line 5 has already spilled 33 times and 1.1 million gallons.

    We DON’T need Line 5. We DO need more mass transit. Let’s see some action that benefits ALL of us, not just a VERY small group of VERY rich folks that want to pay less tax and make more $ at our expense. It’s time to take back our democracy and send the Putin penis kissers to Russia, or N Korea, etc….

    The disastrous economic impact of allowing a project that will eventually lead to a spill into the largest source if fresh water in the world far outweighs any short term benefit to the economy. The impact of an oil spill on nature would be unfixable. There would be no more PURE MICHIGAN. It’s a ticking time bomb. Shut it down without any more delay.
