  2. Our Resolutions are important enough, for the process to include three levels of voting and the limiting of 10 resolutions per CD. They are the Will of the PEOPLE, of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

    I hope if you are in a CD, that has a resolution, to bolster and empower these resolutions, that you fight for it, with all the strength and energy you have.

    The measure passed at the county resolutions committee, county and 2nd CD levels, but lost due to the fact that we could only send 10 resolutions out of the 15 proposed. It lost by less than 5 votes.

    If you can get the "Teeth to Resolutions" resolution passed, or its equivalent, in your CD; Please do. None of the other resolutions, will make much difference, if they are toothless as usual.
