Happy first day of summer, friend! There's no better time to be in Michigan. For many of us, that's because nothing is more special than our Great Lakes. 

If you haven't already, please take a moment and read the below note from Debbie about how she's spent her career fighting to protect our Great Lakes.

Then, sign her petition and join us in the fight to protect the Great Lakes for generations to come. If you've already signed the petition, thank you! Please consider forwarding this message to 5 friends.

Thank you for standing with Debbie and Michigan through the years -- together, we can protect our Michigan way of life for future generations!

Sincerely,

Team Michigan Victory Fund

Friend, here’s something you might not know about me – one of the very first bills I passed into law as Michigan’s Senator was a ban on oil and gas drilling in the Great Lakes. 

As a lifelong Michigander, protecting the Great Lakes was one of my first priorities because I know, firsthand, how central they are to our economy and our Michigan way of life. 

Friend, protecting the Great Lakes has been the fight of my life. But our work is far from over. The Great Lakes face new daily threats, from climate change to invasive species. That’s why I am urging you to join me in signing a petition to protect the Great Lakes today.

Taking action works. With your input and support, in 2010 I authored the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The law has been a critical funding source for cleaning up our lakes and waterways.

Keeping the program funded hasn’t always been easy. When the Trump administration gutted funding for the program, you stood behind me and joined me in taking action.

When all was said and done, I led a bipartisan coalition to get every single penny restored and just last year, passed historic investments that will protect our Great Lakes for generations to come.

We’ve made so much progress together protecting our lakes through the years. The last thing we can afford to do right now is to take a step back.

Please, add your name and join me in renewing your commitment to our Great Lakes today.

Thanks as always,

Debbie Stabenow

United States Senator, Michigan
