Welcome
to
the Huntington Town Democratic Committee It
has been said by
Will Rogers that "We don't belong to an
organized political party,
we're Democrats." And later, another great
Democrat said, "If the
Democratic Party was in France, it would be
five parties."Maybe these
men were right, but we believe that this is
our great strength - our
ability to hold a variety of opinions on a
topic without being
exclusionary or divisive.We are indeed a
great tent where people with
many varying views can come together and
exchange ideas and work toward
the common goal of caring for people by
providing GOOD GOVERNMENT. We
respect each others differences, and
celebrate the variety of life
experiences which have helped to create the
dazzling mosaic that is the
Democratic Party. Individually, we may not
have it all, but TOGETHER we
have the keys to successful governing. We
hope that this website will
provide an interesting introduction to our
Party and that through it
you may be intrigued enough to perhaps join
us at our monthly meetings
or on the Campaign Trail OR BOTH.Mary Collins, Chair The Huntington Town Democratic Committee is an official organization of the Democratic Party of Suffolk County, NY with a number of key legal responsibilities in carrying out the nomination and election laws of the State of New York. The Huntington New York Town Democratic Committee is also: A
Social Group: We're a
friendly group of open-minded folks who
enjoy getting together to
further our common political principles
A Learning Environment: If you've never been involved in “politics”, this is the place to start. We'll give you hands-on training and experience in the actual process of government through hands-on, real-world activities A Civic Organization: If you want to serve your community, there are few more vital ways to do it than by keeping the machinery of democracy working properly. Along with our competitors in other parties, we work to assure that the public has a range of candidates and viewpoints from which to choose A Nursery for Candidates and Campaign Managers: If you've ever entertained the notion of running for public office – or helping someone you admire to do so – this is the place to learn the basics. We recruit candidates, help raise money, and provide volunteer workers for campaigns from local office to the President of the United States The
most
important thing to remember is that we are a
volunteer
organization! That means:
Any
enrolled Democrat registered to vote in the
town of Huntington can join.
You don't need to “know somebody” or have a degree in Political Science. Come as you are, and learn at your own pace. Choose how you serve. Every activity is voluntary, but the Committee does have formal responsibilities, and each member is in fact an elected representative of the Democrats in his or her election district. If there's something we aren't doing that you think we ought to do, you can volunteer to start it. We're open to new ideas. The Commitment: The
Huntington Town
Democratic Party meets once a month, usually
on the second Tuesday of
the month. Meetings seldom last more than two
hours.
There are no dues or special assessments. Although all Huntington Town Democratic Committee activities are voluntary, we encourage all members to spend a few hours of working the phones, driving voters to the polls, or otherwise helping out on or before Election Days. Finally, we hope you will be proud to tell your friends and neighbors that you are a member of the Huntington Town Democratic Committee – and to invite those who share your values to join us. Executive Committee: The Executive Committee is responsible for the general management of the Huntington Town Democratic Committee. It consists of the officers of Huntington Town Democratic Committee, the Zone Leaders, the members of the State Democratic Committee who reside in Huntington and any members of the County Democratic Committee's executive committee who reside in Huntington. There are also non-voting members of the Executive Committee who are appointed by the Town Chair, as necessary, and include the positions of Chair Person Emeritus, Parliamentarian and Webmaster.
