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.

    Allow me to remind the governor that I cast my vote for her solely on her PROMISE that she would

    shut down line #5. I expect her to live up to her word.

    I was born and raised in Michigan. My children were all born there. My grandchildren were all born and are being raised there. This pipeline is a total threat to the future of ALL residents in Michigan. Governor Whitmer I ask you to think with your heart and intellect NOT with your pocketbook or political party. I am now a full time resident of Florida but my heart will always be in Michigan. TURN OFF THE PIPELINE!

    A tunnel under the straits is not only the wrong approach for our future it will also be a huge alteration to the lake and surrounding area. It’s time to keep oil out of the lake whether it’s on the lake bed or underneath it.
