Democrats - Boycott the State of the Union (SOTU)

The Issue

A Call to Action: Stand Up for Democracy

To all Members of Congress, especially our Democratic Representatives and Senators,

As we approach the State of the Union address on March 4th, we, the American people, urge you to take a bold stance. In these challenging times, it's crucial that you use your platform to uphold the values of democracy and justice.

We Ask You to Consider Two Powerful Options:

Boycott the Address: By choosing not to attend, you would send a clear message that you will not legitimize actions that undermine our Constitution and democratic norms. This act of defiance would resonate deeply with the public and demonstrate your commitment to standing up for what is right.

Protest in the Chamber: Alternatively, you could attend but use the occasion to express your dissent. Imagine the impact of a mass walkout or turning your backs on the President during his speech. This would be a powerful visual statement to the nation, reaffirming your dedication to democracy and challenging actions that threaten it.

Why This Matters:

Symbolic Power: Your actions would send a strong message to the nation and the world about your commitment to democracy.

Unity: By standing together, you demonstrate your strength and solidarity in the face of adversity.

Public Awareness: Such actions would garner significant media attention, highlighting the critical issues at stake and mobilizing public support.

Join Us in Demanding Change

We, the people, urge you to use this moment to reaffirm your dedication to the principles of democracy and justice. Whether through a boycott or a protest, you have the power to shape the narrative and inspire change.

Let Your Voices Be Heard

Reach out to your colleagues and coordinate your efforts. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that our voices are heard loud and clear.
