Obama's State Of The Union Speech Prompts Local Event

President Barack Obama will speak to both houses of Congress tonight to outline his plans for the next two years and for what he hopes will be a second term in office.  

Organizing For America, a project of the Democratic National Committee, is arranging viewing parties for the event all across the country, and Tucker will have its own at the home of supporter Robert Bryant.  

Jeremy Bird, Deputy Director for OFA in Georgia, said in an e-mail: "Folks at the Tucker watch party won't just hear from the President and connect with fellow supporters -- they'll also help plan the next steps for OFA GA. After the speech, volunteers will participate in brief strategy sessions to plan local action, and we need your ideas."

The party will take place from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. at 2720 Peppermint Drive in 
Tucker. An RSVP is strongly recommended. To respond and to see a map, click here.  

"The steps we take this year in Tucker and beyond will be a vital part of helping enact the President's agenda," added Bird. "We're determined to make 2011 a year of job growth and remarkable progress, and that starts with all of us on Tuesday."

The President gave a brief preview of his address, which can be seen in the video accompanying this article.
