Fill out the form below to submit a resolution to the YDG Convention Resolutions Committee!

According to YDG Bylaws Section B§9.4., "Proposals that express support or opposition to a current piece of legislation, reference a specific person, provide a statement of gratitude for service, or sorrow about a specific death are out of order at Platform convention and should be referred the Resolutions Committee at State Convention. The VPProg shall supervise this committee."

To prepare a resolution, first identify the topic--for example, secret money in American elections--and the position of the group on the topic. Those elements become the title of the resolution, such as "Opposing Secret Money in the U.S. Elections."  In the case of recognizing the contributions of an individual or group, the title would include the name of the individual/group and go something like, "Recognizing 75 Years of Service to the GAFDW by Jane Doe/Designated Democratic Women." The form of the title can vary. Some prefer "In Support of" or "In Opposition to," each of which has a more traditional sound but does not add to the meaning. The purpose of the title is to unambiguously identify the topic.
