As you might know, President Obama's last State of the Union address is tonight in 15 minutes (9pm EST). I will be listening for a few big issue areas in his speech, but at the top of my list will be the push to #EndTheBan on gun violence research funding from Congress.
Our friends and partners at Doctors for America drafted some sample tweets for tonight in case the President mentions the CDC gun violence research ban. I've included them below in case you can help spread the word. These are only our suggested ones, so feel free to go beyond them, as well!
