I’m writing as someone who volunteered a TON to get you elected, and also as a mom who is terribly worried about the climate emergency.
Please stop the Line 3 tar sands pipeline. I can’t believe I even have to ask.
Your administration did the right thing by cancelling the permit for Keystone XL.
Like Keystone XL, the Line 3 tar sands pipeline is a threat to our climate and water and violates Native American treaty rights.
The permits for this massive expansion were issued without proper review by the Trump Administration. The Army Corps of Engineers refused to prepare a federal Environmental Impact Statement for Line 3, even though the project would cross hundreds of bodies of water including the Mississippi headwaters.
I urge you to revoke or amend Line 3’s presidential permit, as you did for Keystone XL, and direct the Army Corps of Engineers to immediately reevaluate and suspend or revoke the Line 3 project’s Clean Water Act Section 404 permit.
Please take action to both honor treaty rights and science by stopping the construction of this dangerous pipeline. Please create good jobs by investing in clean water and clean energy for all our communities. Thanks.
P.S. I think a lot of us would be really grateful if you would turn on the WH phone lines. Very frustrating to not be able to call.
