Craig: What do you want to hear in the State of the Union? OFA asked, so I told them....23JAN14

I got this from organizing for America, they want to know what I want to hear from President Obama when he gives his State of the Union speech next week. I did remove the link to the survey because it has my contact info, one needs to belong to ofa to participate. Here's their e mail and my response......


What issues do you think should be at the top of the national agenda?

With the State of the Union right around the corner, that's the question on everyone's mind.

Before President Obama takes the stage on Tuesday night, we want to hear from you.

This is a big moment for all of us who care about the fight for change. We've made some real progress in the last year, in spite of a divided Congress that has failed to get much across the finish line.

The State of the Union is a moment for the nation to reset its priorities -- to look forward, take a deep breath, and decide what we really want to focus on.

Take a minute and fill out this quick survey about what you're most excited to hear the President address on Tuesday:

Thanks -- and be sure to tune in for his speech on Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

President Obama is delivering the State of the Union on Tuesday, January 28th, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Before he takes the floor, OFA wants to hear from you: Which issue are you most looking forward to hearing about in the State of the Union?
Let us know right now:

What issue are you most excited to hear about in the State of the Union?
 
I want to hear Pres Obama kill the keystone xl pipeline, drop chained-cpi, support increasing Social Security benefits and lifting the SS tax cap, announce increased funding for education, jobs training, the EPA, all social safety net programs and clean, renewable energy. I want to hear Pres Obama stand up for the poor, the retired, the working and middle class and to hear him tell the rich, corporate America, wall street and the military-industrial complex that while they have recovered from the recession the 99% have not and so there will be no further concessions from Congress, that the government will now take up the cause of the American people and the American social contract will be funded and fulfilled. I want to hear Pres Obama tell the bank-financial cabal they are not too big to jail and they are going to be charged for the economic crimes they have committed. And I want o hear Pres Obama apologize to the American people for the government spying on us and to end the nsa's spying and surveillance programs. I want to hear the president who was reelected in 2012, but more than that, I want him to renounce his grand deception and see him take action for the American 99% in spite of the financial contributions he and congress have received from the rich and corporate powers who have paid for the President's and congressional kow-towing.
