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 & Michigan’s Legislature:
An oil tunnel through the public bottomlands of the Straits of Mackinac won’t protect the Great Lakes from a 645-mile long aging Line 5 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 urge you to take action now to decommission Line 5.
* Yes, Enbridge Line 5 has already spilled 33 times and 1.1 million gallons.

Cannot trust Enbridge with history of spills and now their refusal to be accountable.
Guess who’ll pay? Michigan Residents.
A spill in the Straits of Mackinac isnt if but when.
Line 5 is 67 years old.
Lots of propane companies ready to step in immediately.
You’re playing Russian Roulette with the Crown Jewel of Michigan.
Doing nothing is a “Recipe for Disaster”
Your only legacy will be stamped as “The Spill Govenor”
Act Now Govenor Whitmer !!!!!!
