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.
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 support your action to revoke the Line 5 easement and urge to you prevent an oil tunnel from being constructed.
* Yes, Enbridge Line 5 has already spilled 33 times and 1.1 million gallons.

ENBRIDGE PIPELINES #3 AND #5 NEED TO BE STOPPED, ESPECIALLY #5. NO TUNNEL NO TUNNEL NO TUNNEL !!!!
THIS PIPELINE #5 HAS LEAKED 33 TIMES AND SPILLED OVER 1.1 MILLION MILLION MILLION GALLONS OF OIL INTO THE GREAT LAKES FRESH WATER SYSTEM!!! AND THE GREAT LAKES: SUPERIOR, MICHIGAN, HURON, ONTARIO AND ERIE COMPRISE THE LARGEST FRESH
WATER BODY IN THE WORLD. DESTROYING AND POLLUTING THIS GREAT BODY OF FRESH WATER WOULD DESTROY TENS OF MILLIONS PEOPLE’S DRINKING WATER. DO NOT LET ENBRIDGE (A CANADIAN
FOREIGNCORPORATION) DO WHAT THEY DID IN MINNESOTA – TUNNELING UNDER ALL OF THE WATERWAYS FROM THE RED RIVER TO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TO THE ST CRIOX AND ALL WATER IN BETWEEN TO THE PORT OF DULUTH ON LAKE SUPERIOR IN MINNESOTA. THIS IS ONE CRIMINAL AND RECKLESS DISREGARD FOR THEPEOPLE AND FLORA AND FAUNA OF THIS NORTHERN REGION. THIS ACTIS A TRAVESTY OF SANE BUSINESS PRACTICES.
ENBRIDGE IS GREEDY AND WANTS TO FINISH THESE PROJECTS BEFORE THE DEMAND FOR OIL CEASES.
TAR SANDS IS THE MOST FILTHY AND DIRTY AND DISGUSTING OIL THERE IS. FLAMMABLE TOO.
