Participating Membership – Help us, help you

Don’t Drill The Hills, Inc. filed a  lawsuit  against the City of Rochester Hills on behalf of members who are asserting that the City overstepped their authority and denied residents their voting rights by leasing park and cemetery land without a vote as outlined in the City Charter and Michigan law.

As a Participating Member of Don’t Drill The Hills, Inc. (DDHI), you have the opportunity to not only to stay informed, but to authorize DDHI to make legal claims on your behalf.   Your participation helps support the lawsuit’s allegations and shows how the City’s actions impact real citizens.

A Participating Member is not a party to the lawsuit. However, similar to a ballot petition, you may be contacted to attest to the validity of your signature and that your statements are true. And, you authorize DDHI to add your name to the list of DDHI Members making the assertions in the lawsuit.

NOTE: because Members are being represented by the registered non-profit corporation Don’t Drill The Hills, Inc., individuals are shielded from personal liability related to the lawsuit or other actions of the corporation.

Complete the two forms below to authorize Don’t Drill the Hills, Inc.to list you among its Members who are participating in the lawsuit by alleging your voting rights were withheld, or other alleged wrongs being pursued in the lawsuit.  Questions? Please contact us.
