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.
Sign 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.

Michigan residents receive only a small portion of these fuels(U.P), but bear the most risk of a catastrophic spill.
Enbridge profits are not my concern; our natural resources are everyone’s concern, especially as residents of Northern Michigan.
The PR effort by Enbridge and legislators that support Line 5 have been refuted by academic and scientific experts time and time again.
Enbridge’s safety record is appalling; they are a clear and present danger to our health and economic well being. What is their plan if there is a rupture in winter, when the Straits are frozen over?
shut down line #5. I expect her to live up to her word.
