Watching the State of the Union
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:

If you can't host a party, that's alright. There are parties spread across the country, and there's probably one close to you. You can find one here:

We've set up a resource center for those hosting parties, though many of the materials - such as State of the Union bingo - are useful to just about anyone who's watching:

No matter what, be sure to watch the State of the Union and the Democratic response by Governor Tim Kaine. The ideas and policies laid out will shape the political landscape through the elections next fall.
