MEMBER PETITION

Cobb EMC CEO Dwight Brown was indicted in January 2011 for racketeering, theft, and making false statements to members; several board members are still under investigation. All the board members are serving expired terms. Until elections are held, we are being denied a democratic voice and our rights as EMC members.

 Please join us in calling for fair elections now by circulating the following petition to fellow EMC members. Sign the Pledge (at right) and we’ll send you more information and Petition print-outs.
