That is why, as former chairs of the Democratic National Committee, we stand with Freedom to Marry, 22 Democratic senators, Leader Nancy Pelosi, and more than 35,000 Americans in urging the Party to include a freedom to marry plank in the platform that is ratified at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte this September.”
— A joint statement from Howard Dean, Donald Fowler, Steve Grossman and David Wilhelm, a four of whom are former chairs of the Democratic National Committee.
