Welcome!
As the majority party in Springfield Township, we take local government seriously. We are working hard to identify and support candidates that have the demeanor, skills, and experience necessary to provide effective and efficient government for our community. If you think that describes you, we'd love to talk with you. Click here to drop us a line.
Contrary to what our opponents have said, Democrats have repeatedly proven that they are your best option for government that promotes social and economic progress, and is fiscally responsible. In addition, we believe that the society we live in must not only be free, but fair. Read more of our philosophy on the role of government here.
We are continuously looking for new volunteers and fresh energy. You can take part by attending our meetings (any registered Democrat is welcome), delivering literature, making phone calls, hosting events or even running for local office. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Why We Are Democrats
From The Charter & The Bylaws of the Democratic Party of the United States, as amended by the Democratic National Committee, February 3, 2007:
Section 17. Democratic Party Credo.
We Democrats are the oldest political party in America and the youngest in spirit. We will remain so, because we enjoy the challenge of government.
Time and again, for almost two centuries, the Democratic Party has made government work -- to build and defend a nation, to encourage commerce, to educate our children, to promote equal opportunity, to advance science and industry, to support the arts and humanities, to restore the land, to develop and conserve our human and natural resources, to preserve and enhance our built environment, to relieve poverty, to explore space. We have reached difficult and vital goals.
We recognize that the capacity of government is limited but we regard democratic government as a force for good and a source of hope.
At the heart of our party lies a fundamental conviction, that Americans must not only be free, but they must live in a fair society.
We believe it is the responsibility of government to help us achieve this fair society.
- A society where the elderly and the disabled can lead lives of dignity and where Social Security remains an unshakable commitment;
- A society where all people can find jobs in a growing full-employment economy;
- A society where all workers are guaranteed without question the legal right to join unions of their own choosing and to bargain collectively for decent wages and conditions of employment;
- A society where taxes are clearly based on ability to pay;
- A society where the equal rights of women are guaranteed in the Constitution;
- A society where the civil rights of minorities are fully secured and where no one is denied the opportunity for a better life;
- A society where both public and private discrimination based upon race, sex, age, color, creed, national origin, religion, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, economic status, philosophical persuasion or physical disability are condemned and where our government moves aggressively to end such discrimination through lawful means;
- A society where we recognize that the strengthening of the family and the protection of children are essential to the health of the nation;
- A society where a sound education, proper nutrition, quality medical care, affordable housing, safe streets and a healthy environment are possible for every citizen;
- A society where the livelihoods of our family farmers are as stable as the values they instill in the American character;
- A society where a strong national defense is a common effort, where promoting human rights is a basic value of our foreign policy, and where we ensure that future by ending the nuclear arms race.
This is our purpose and our promise.
