Leah Daughtry, chief of staff of the Democratic National Committee delivered prepared remarks at the National Black Justice Coalition's The Power of Us conference this weekend supporting the inclusion of LGBTs at the DNC convention this August. (Washington Blade):

    "We made a commitment under Gov. Dean's leadership that we wanted to do something different," she said. "We wanted to make sure, make a way so that people from various communities, and particularly the GLBT community, would have a seat at the table, would have a voice, would have a vote when we nominate our president of the United States."
