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.

    Dear Governor Whitmer, I am proud to have you as our Governor.

    I respect you and support you..and if you should decide to run for President, would help elect you.

    PLEASE! PLEASE in your final years as Governor of the Great Lakes State, stand up and defend them.

    Please deny a permit for building a tunnel around this dangerous pipeline. It’s too big of a risk of and environmental

    Catastrophe, and does provide much for us here in Michigan.

    I urge you not to build tunnel to transport oil at the bottoms of the Great Lakes. There is a huge risk of leaks that would gravely harm the environment and the health of The Great Lakes and the people and animals that depend on them.

    Our family opposed this over several years.This "fast track " by the Trump administration adds necessary concern . The plans outlined are deficient in all areas according to experts. Why would you ,as governor, now ignore the warnings to our state and area water resources?? Fossil fuels are out moded. And this ONLY benefits Canada.

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers found multiple “direct, detrimental effects” that would be caused to land, groundwater and surface water by the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline tunnel proposal.
