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.

    The shame of politicians who not only fail to listen to their constituency, but fail also to support and to implement legislation intended to promote and insure the safety of tens of thousands of innocents, is only eclipsed in egregiousness by their insistence on disingenuous assertions made to that same population. What a disappointment that you, Governor Whitmer, must be counted among them. Do you desire sincerely to stand on the side of those who would risk the safety, and sacrifice the well-being of your people, upon the altar of economic expediency? Many thought that you were a person of integrity. Many watch and wait for you to fulfill that expectation.

    Your back track on Line 5 is such a bitter disappointment. You lied to us, Governor! It’s not too late to redeem yourself. Do the right thing, stand by your word, and decommission Line % once and for all!
