Hey John –

Thomas Jefferson had stage fright.

Now that I have your attention, let’s talk about the State of the Union
address.

Did you know that for 112 years the State of the Union speech was only
delivered in writing because Thomas Jefferson was a nervous public
speaker?

Even the Founding Fathers knew that this speech is — to borrow a phrase
from our current President — a BFD.

That’s why we’re calling on President Biden to seize this moment to take a
strong stand for democracy in his State of the Union address next Tuesday.

of the Union.

Right now, corruption is one of the biggest threats to our democracy. You
know it. People all across America know it. The House is taking shots at
the Office of Congressional Ethics. Candidates for office are using their
platforms to call fair elections into question. And across America
politicians are using their positions to hoard power and get rich instead
of serving the people. This should be a top concern for President Biden,
yet Congress and the White House never seem to get around to addressing
it. 🤔

We're tired of it.

Right now we have a chance to put pressure on the President to make
fighting corruption a priority and talk about it while the whole nation is
paying attention.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to our petition calling on President Biden to stand
strong on corruption in the State of the Union address next week.

The State of the Union address is one of the most visible examples of
democracy in action. While America watches on TV and both parties have to
sit together and pay attention for once, the President can deliver a
strong message and jump-start some action on corruption.

The President and his speechwriters are working on this first address.
[ [link removed] ]With less than a week until the speech, let's let him know we're going
to pay attention to what he says.
