State of the Union Watch Parties

(An email that just went out from Democratic National Commitee Executive Director, Tom McMahon -- Tim)

In hundreds of communities across the country, people won't be sitting back when George Bush delivers his State of the Union address on January 31st. That's because in each of those communities someone decided to host a Watch Party -- a simple event to bring people together to get the facts and take action.

There's still time to invite people over to watch together, react together, and -- most importantly -- decide together what you will do to work for change on the ground in your community this year.

There will also be a Watch Party Conference Call immediately following the official Democratic response. You'll be able to join Governor Dean and other Democratic leaders for immediate reaction and opportunities for rapid response.

You can set up your own Watch Party and start sending invitations using this simple tool on our web site:

From Anchorage to Wichita to Brooklyn people have already created Watch Parties. Everyone attending will receive background information before the speech, and the opportunity to hear directly from our party's leaders immediately after.

You can search by zip code for an event in your area:

Where will you be next Tuesday night?

Is there a way to reach all Democrats in Congress? I forget where I saw it, but the most impressive suggestion I've seen to object to the imperial presidency is that all Democrats simply get up and leave when the president (I refuse to capitalize references to GW) gives the state of the union address.

Pardon me but I don' t know if my message was sent. I encourage every Democrat in Congress to boycott the State of the Union address. The most effective statement would be to get up and leave as the president takes the stage.
