“The purpose of the Orange Democratic Committee is to build relationships to advance the democratic values, platform, party and candidates. Our intent is to advance a healthy democracy and a vibrant and sustainable future,” Nic Guerra, chair of the town Democratic Committee commented.
According to the Statement of Values of the Massachusetts Democratic Party:

"Massachusetts Democrats believe in the common good. We know that the strength of our democracy is dependent on the engagement of thoughtful citizens. That is why our party is organized around the basic notion that individuals working together can make a positive impact on their community. Massachusetts Democrats believe that government plays a vital role in the lives of individuals and communities."
As Governor Deval Patrick is quick to point out, it is important to get involved. "Help push the politics of conviction. Help people understand what is possible through politics. Give people a reason to hope for the best and ways to work for it" the Governor stated.
