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 & 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.

    We must protect the largest body of fresh water in the world. These under water or ground pipes or tunnels will allow for a rupture to spill how many millions or billions of gallons of oil before either it is noticed or found? Enbridge can reroute these lines and bring them through their own Canadian land.

    You made a promise to the people of Michigan and I voted for you based on that promise. I am disgusted and will not vote for your re-election if you don’t live up to that promise. NO TUNNEL. NO PIPELINE. NO NEGOTIATIONS. NO OIL IN OUR GREAT LAKES!!!

    Corporations have a lousy track record when it comes to being faithful to contractual obligations. They can not be trusted to do the maintenance necessary to protect the environment.

    Line 5 needs to be shut down and put on Canadian soil as Enbridge is a Canadian company!
