Give your own State of the Union address!
As President Bush is outlining his vision for the country in his annual State of the Union address, what changes would you like to make to foreign policy, the tax system or health care? Are there other issues that you think deserve more attention? Plan to give your own Sorry State of the Union and Hopes for the Future statement at the end of his speech. Invite your local news stations to come to your party and add your spin to the coverage of this event! If you would like help contacting reporters in your area, contact our national press coordinator, Dana, at dana[at]codepinkalert.org.
