He has passed some resolutions, you should talk about how they impact the nations in the WA and why they are A Good Thing. He's also been active in regional government, you should detail some of the stuff he's done for good in places like TEP, Right to Life, and I believe Catholic, but these should be more of along the lines of good governance and general usefulness - as I said, mentioning he promoted a specific ideology, especially a controversial one, will not be helpful.
UM is fairly well know across the GA, SC, and GP worlds, the question is right now if he's done enough to warrant a commendation. This draft is too short, badly focused, and doesn't present a good argument why we should vote in favour. Write up something a bit more comprehensive with more specific commendable things, and then we'll have a better idea of how successful, or not, a commendation would be.

Explain to me how that is an argument for commendation, and not condemnation? As far as I've seen, there's a better argument to change it to Condemn than to commend in the draft as-is.New Jakobly wrote:-Promoting the ideologies of Right to Life, with the dispatch "Nations in Non-Compliance with Reproductive Freedoms"[/i]

You’re a first time author trying to commend a candidate that I think is probably commendable but will take a very cautious and well crafted resolution to do so. You should be thinking about submitting this in weeks not hours. If you submit something that ultimately fails because you didn’t spend enough time drafting it, you’ll make future commends more difficult and ultimately done Umass a disservice.
