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.

    Please REJECT continuing to license the Line 5 pipeline and DO NOT approve a tunnel for Line 5. If it EVER fails – even if you are not the Governor at the time , you will be the one who goes down in the history of the State of Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York and Ontario, who allowed it to happen. Do you really want to have that hanging over you for the rest of your life? The name Whitmer will become the word that people use when someone makes a huge mistake.

    How sad, still another Democrat rushing to betray the people who supported her. . .and all of us facing the consequences of climate change.

    Our Great Lakes are far too important to risk!
