''CONVERSATIONS: DNC Chairman Governor Howard Dean''

"I am a business owner, yet because I believe strongly in the union movement I am an associate member of the United Steelworkers of America. What are your plans for the Democratic Party to work with unions to organize, help with enrollment, stand with union leaders and membership in their fights across the country.".Mark K. Seattle, WA"The labor movement and the Democratic Party share the same goals -- a successful economic system in America where everyone benefits from hard work. We need to say unashamedly and often that unions are an essential part of a successful capitalist society."-Howard Dean, from the last Q&A exchange in today's chat on the DNC website, "Kicking Ass."
