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.

    One Earth for all living things. Water is life. Oil is not. It’s a commodity that should be relegated to transitional energy as we move to more sustainable options. And Enbridge’s track record is horrible. Please close this pipeline before another disaster occurs.

    I own a business that would be directly affected by an oil spill. I also love and appreciate the great lakes for their beauty and life giving resources so please help save them. Enbridge can keep their tunnel in Canada and out of the streets of Mackinac!

    It’s time to do the right and best thing! You know what that is: DENY Enbridge the permits it needs to build the tunnel under Michigan’s Straits!! Gov. Snider had NO RIGHT to give his blessing to Enbridge back then. Don’t do it now! And— demand the removal of the ancient pipeline there now. Make sure that’s done carefully and as soon as is possible!

    Now— get to work!

    Issues regarding tribal sovereignty are important in New Mexico, so your decision on the Enbridge Line 5 greatly affects us.

    My understanding is that an overwhelming majority of people in Michigan oppose this project. Why proceed?

    I urge you to deny the permits for the tunnel for Enbridge through the straits of Mackinac. This is a very beautiful area and I have visited there myself. It would be destroyed in the event of an oil spill.
