According to the by-laws of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, all resolutions must be

1. no more than 100 words

2. in a standardized format, which means that every resolution must begin with a “Whereas” clause, have a “Therefore: clause, with each line being numbered.

Our county party can select up to 10 resolutions to submit to our 5th Congressional District Convention. The other counties in the 5th CD will do the same. Our Congressional District Convention will vote on and select up to 10 resolutions to submit to the State Party Convention, where they will be voted on by the state delegates.

We will be voting on our 10 resolutions at the next County Party meeting, on Wednesday, March 15th.

If you have a resolution for the county party to vote on, please bring 15 copies of your resolution to the meeting or come 30 minutes early to make copies on our machine (we don’t want to be running copies during the actual meeting).

If you have questions or would like help putting together a resolution, please contact Waring Fincke at wrfincke@ or 262-334-1030. Thank you!
