Michael, condemn and deplore!  Oh yeah!I forget.  Does the resolution now go into the pot with all the other resolutions, to be passed, or not, by the whole convention?

Rebecca, NFB resolutions work like this:  Anyone can write a resolution and bring it to the Resolutions Committee, or the appropriate division to bring to the committee.  Then the resolution is voted up or down by the committee. If it passes, it goes to the whole convention, where again it can pass or not.  If it passes, it becomes part of the policy of the NFB, and is sent to the organization it affects, in this case, GDB.  It won't make GDB do anything, but it does show powerfully what blind people think about what they are doing, and it empowers our leadership and members to work on making things happen.

I love resolutions.  It's not a perfect system, but it is a way for members to address problems.  And some resolutions spark a lot of spirited discussion through convention week.
