A resolution to urge all public bodies in the state of Michigan to adopt the term “Gulf of America” in place of “Gulf of Mexico” in all official communications, publications, and references, and to call for immediate steps to implement this change by July 4, 2025.

The resolution urges public bodies in Michigan to start using the term 'Gulf of America' instead of 'Gulf of Mexico' in all their official communications and documents. It calls for these changes to be implemented by July 4, 2025. The goal is to promote a new naming convention for this body of water.

Supporters of the resolution argue that adopting the term 'Gulf of America' reflects a more inclusive and patriotic identity for the region. They believe this change will foster a sense of unity and pride among residents while promoting local culture and heritage.

Critics of the resolution may argue that changing the name to 'Gulf of America' is unnecessary and could lead to confusion. They might view it as a political gesture that distracts from more pressing issues facing the state and question the practicality of implementing such a change.
