Subject: Host a State of the Union Watch Party?
Joseph --
Next Wednesday evening, President Obama will deliver his first State of the Union address. The President will lay out a clear vision of the challenges we face and our national plan to meet them.
Certainly, the path toward change got a bit steeper after Tuesday's disappointment in Massachusetts. But this movement has persevered before, and Wednesday's speech is an important opportunity to reconnect, take stock of the road ahead, and continue forward together.
So OFA members will be gathering at State of the Union Watch Parties in living rooms across the country. We'll huddle on the phone with Obama for America campaign manager David Plouffe, and plan for what comes next.
Can you sign up to host a State of the Union Watch Party?
If you can provide the TV, telephone, and living room, we'll invite folks in your area to join you. Together we'll launch the next phase of our work together in your neighborhood -- and across the country.
We still have a lot of hard work in front of us to finish the job on health reform, fight Wall Street abuses, rebuild our economy, create clean energy jobs, and address all the other challenges we face.
Just this morning, President Obama proposed new restrictions on the size and scope of financial institutions as part of his efforts to protect taxpayers and rein in excessive risk-taking by banks. And these State of the Union Watch Parties are an important way to play a role in what comes next.
No experience is needed to host a successful event. You may be surprised at just how easy it is to do. Just sign up online today, and a local OFA organizer will be in touch to answer any questions you have and support you through every step.
Especially in the wake of Tuesday's election, there are a lot of fellow OFA supporters in your area who want to come together for this speech and get involved -- but first they need a place to meet.
