Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean recently convened a series of roundtable meetings with Asian American Pacific Islander and Muslim American community leaders in Chicago, Illinois and Washington, DC. The meetings, which were held on March 15 and 20, are part of the Democratic Party's ongoing commitment to reaching out to voters in every community and every part of the country. In last year's successful elections, 62 percent of Asian Americans voted for Democrats and for a new direction for our country. Chairman Dean heralded the success of the Democratic Party in last year's elections, which would not have been possible without the strong support of the Asian American community.

At the meeting in Washington DC, Governor Dean was joined by DNC Vice Chair Congressman Mike Honda, along with the Chair and Vice Chair of the DNC's Asian and Pacific Islander American Caucus, Bel Leong-Hong and Mona Mohib, respectively.

"Thanks to Governor Dean's vision for the 50-state partnership and his continued outreach to all communities, we were able to win in many jurisdictions that were previously considered unwinnable," stated DNC Vice Chair Honda. "Having traveled to many states, I have heard nothing but praise for the 50-state partnership project."

"The DNC's continued efforts to reach out to the Asian American community after the successful elections of 2006 show how committed the party is to not take any vote or voter for granted," said DNC Asian and Pacific Islander American Caucus Chair Bel Leong-Hong. "Capitalizing on the gains of the last election the DNC will continue to reach out to the Asian American community as we gear up to elect a Democratic President of the United States and Democrats up and down the ballot."

The meeting in Washington was attended by representatives from various organizations including the Asian American Justice Center, Asian American Action Fund, APIA Vote, Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, Filipino American Democrats, Korean American Coalition, Muslim Public Affairs Council, National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum, National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development, and Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund.

The Chicago meeting was attended by representatives from a number of groups and organizations including Asian American Advisory Council, Asian Pacific Americans for Progress, Center for Immigrant Resources and Community Arts, Chicagoland Nepali Pariwar, Filipino Civil Rights Advocates, Filipino Human Rights Coalition, Illinois Veterans Equity Center, Indo American Democratic Organization, Korean American Coalition-Chicago, Korean American Resource and Cultural Center, Organization for Chinese Americans-Chicago, and the University of Chicagos Center for Race, Culture and Politics.
