Fifteen members of Congress, including five republicans from Michigan, are asking President Joe Biden to support the Line 5 oil pipeline.
During his first days in office President Biden revoked a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, stopping its construction.
This week U.S. Representatives Jack Bergman (R-Watersmeet), Lisa McClain (R-Bruce Twp.), Tim Walberg (R-Tipton), Peter Meijer (R-Grand Rapids) and Fred Upton (R-St. Joseph) signed a letter on Michigan’s most controversial pipeline.
In it they urge President Biden to stay away from Line 5, saying its shutdown would be catastrophic to the energy needs and economy of the region.

The morning after the D.C. riot, Erik Nordman called his state senator, Sen. Roger Victory, R-Hudsonville, with concerns about a letter Victory signed urging Congress to examine allegations of voter fraud.
Victory’s office got back to him, and a staff member left a voicemail saying only those who rioted in D.C. could be blamed for what took place.
