“Pure Michigan” Are these merely words or is there real muscle and integrity behind the brand? Certainly, in the next few months, the Line 5 Pipeline debate will determine just what kind of a state we really are.

We, as a citizenry must demand that our State leaders uphold their fiduciary responsibility to protect us from disaster, especially when it is preventable. By stalling on a decision to decommission Line 5, Gov. Snyder, Attorney General Bill Schuette, Michigan Department of Natural Resources Director Keith Creagh, and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Director Heidi Grether are inviting catastrophe for all of us residing in Michigan.

I am asking you to make your concerns known by sending post cards, letters, or making phone calls.
