At State of the Union

Leaders Inspiring Leaders to Reduce Poverty

Use social media to inspire President Obama to speak out for struggling families during his address, and support them in his budget request.
February 12th is the Presidents first State of the Union address in his second term. The fiscal showdown didnt end on January 1st. Instead, Congress kicked the can down the road and many of the most important programs that support struggling families in our country are still under threat. So, lets take to Twitter, Facebook, and other social media to support the Presidents statements on cutting poverty in his inaugural address and ask for continued support of low-income programs in the state of the union and budget proposal. Together we can show the White House why these programs are so important, and who has inspired us to support them.
