Michigan’s U.S. Senator Gary Peters is one of the most powerful politicians in Washington, DC. Senator Peters has been a leader in protecting the Great Lakes from a catastrophic Line 5 crude oil pipeline rupture, but we need him to do more.
After Enbridge caused a massive rupture in its Michigan oil pipeline along the Kalamazoo River, the federal government took the Canadian oil giant to court to safeguard us from another disastrous spill, including the Line 5 pipeline in the Great Lakes. Fourteen years and more than $60 million in civil penalties against Enbridge later, we still can’t count on the courts to protect us.
We need all our elected officials to act now to shut down America’s Most Dangerous Oil Pipeline and reject Enbridge’s proposal to keep Line 5 in the Great Lakes for the next century. Senator Peters has the power and influence to make that happen.
Call Senator Peters today!
Tell him to help us shut down Line 5. Call one or more of the numbers below to contact his local Michigan office staff. Be polite, courteous, and friendly, and thank Senator Peters for working to protect the Great Lakes.
When you get someone on the phone, tell them you want Senator Peters to:
- Urge President Biden to use his powers to revoke the Presidential Permit for Line 5, so Governor Whitmer can begin the orderly decommissioning of Line 5.
- Senator Peters should tell the State Department to reject Enbridge’s efforts to block American laws protecting the Great Lakes using an outdated and weak international treaty with Canada.
Help us reach all Sen. Peters’ Michigan offices. Make the call and report it.
