I got this from the Nationale site. They are asking that all Locale Voitures discuss it. I would like to get a discussion here on it. You can leave a reply and vote on it here. The Poll is unscientific and only for discussions purposes here. It is not official in any way.

Resolution from the meeting in Indianapolis, IN
November 3, 2007
The following Resolution has come from the meeting in Indianapolis, IN November 3, 2007. The Voyageur Militaire who were in attendance would like you to take this Resolution to your Voiture Locale talk about it and vote on it. If it passes then you should send it to your Grande so they can talk about it at their Promenade, and if it passes there, it should be sent on to Voiture Nationale, so it can come to the floor at Promenade Nationale for a vote.
Thank you,

Resolution
To change Membership Criteria
WHEREAS, The membership of La Societe des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux has continued to decline over the past several years and
WHEREAS, The reduction in membership is hindering our ability to maintain our programs as well as our ability to support the American Legion and
WHEREAS, La Societe became a fully independent veterans group in 1959, and
WHEREAS, Broadening La Societe’s membership criteria harms no group or person, and
WHEREAS, This measure does not diminish the ritual, charity, selectivity, or honor at the heart of La Societe, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That Article IV Section 1 WHO MAY BECOME MEMBERS be changed to:
Membership is open to all American Legion Members and all Honorably Discharged Veterans and all Military Personnel currently serving our country, and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Avocat National make all changes necessary to bring the balance of the constitution in agreement with the changes made to Article IV, Section 1.
