Hartzheim said the ideas put forth by CEDAW could benefit Appleton, but she sought to eliminate the final paragraph of the resolution that says, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Wisconsin’s U.S. Congressional Delegation expressing our support of the United States’ ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). "I and many of my constituents do not believe that it is the place of the government of the city of Appleton to push our Wisconsin congressional delegation by expressing our support of the United States' ratification of CEDAW," Hartzheim said.
