'State of the Union' Watch Parties

Friend --

On Wednesday evening, President Obama will deliver his first State of the Union address. It comes at a critical moment.

We must regroup, refocus, and re-engage on the vital work ahead. So let's watch it together at a State of the Union Watch Party in your neighborhood.

We've hit some serious bumps in the road recently in our march toward change. We always knew it would be difficult, but this past week has definitely been a hard one, for all of us.

But this movement didn't come so far without making it through some challenging times. It's at moments like these when we need you most. People are hurting. Our country is at a crossroads, and in communities like yours all across America we must all fight for the progress our families and businesses need to thrive.

The President's resolve has never been stronger to keep fighting for health insurance reform, for lasting job creation, and to rein in the big banks and fight the undue influence of lobbyists. Wednesday's speech will be a pivotal moment for us all to get on the same page and continue the fight together.

In just two days, OFA supporters like you will be gathering at State of the Union Watch Parties in living rooms and community centers across the country. You can share ideas and experiences -- and I'll be joining on the phone for a special strategy huddle before the speech.

I hope you can join us,

P.S. -- Volunteers have set up hundreds of Watch Parties over the last few days. But if there isn't one yet near you, just sign up to host one yourself. It's easy and fun, local OFA organizers will help you with any questions you have, and it's an incredibly important way to let supporters near you be part of the action:

Plouffe says the Obama regime has hit some "serious bumps in the road recently in our march toward change."

Those "bumps" are the American people.

Independents and moderates who were duped by Obama's rhetoric during the 2008 campaign now know the real Obama. They know what his agenda means for them and they want no part of it.

Obama is out of touch. He didn't change Washington. It's more corrupt than ever.

Where's the transparency? Obama lied on a number of fronts, failing to deliver on his promise of making the people's government more accessible to them, making them a part of the process. Obama's a liar.

The overwhelming majority of American people aren't liberal like Obama and his cronies.

These Dems don't get it.

Plouffe says these "watch parties" are an effort to get supporters "on the same page and continue the fight together."

What are they doing off the same page?

How did that happen?

Bottom line: Obama has had a miserable first year in office. He hasn't helped the country. "Watch parties" can't change that reality.
