Organize Your Very Own SOTU Address "Watch Party"!

Posted by The MaryHunter at January 25, 2010 3:10 PM

Desperation is a strong stench pervading the Obot Nation, and for good reason. In an effort toward bipartisan outreach, we bring news from the very mouth of Archangel Gabriel David Plouffe himself, in an effort to support The Obamessiah:

Dear MaryHunter:

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.

Find and RSVP for a State of the Union Watch Party near you:

I hope you can join us,

David Plouffe

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:

Perhaps a little reverse Cloward-Piven could come in handy here. Or even better: a why not boost the economy with Watch Parties in popular bars? Drinking games such as "every time Obama says a personal pronoun" or "every time Dear Leader lies" would boost sales and tips astronomically, helping the working folk as Obama so wishes to do. (Just be sure to have designated drivers.)
