John —  

A bully pulpit. 

That turn of phrase was coined by President Teddy Roosevelt to describe a
public office that gives someone a chance to speak out on any issue and be
heard. 

You'll hear that term a lot as we prepare for President Biden's second
State of the Union address next Tuesday, but what does it mean?

[ [link removed] ]A picture of Joe Biden with the words President Biden: Use It above the
definition of bully pulpit which reads: "a public office or position of
authority that provides its occupant with an outstanding opportunity to
speak out on any issue."

Look, we don't like bullies anymore than you do. In fact, fighting bullies
in politics is quite literally what we do. Back in ol' Rough Rider
Roosevelt's day "bully" meant more like "wonderful" or "great". 

So when we tell you that President Biden has a chance to use his bully
pulpit during the State of the Union, we're really saying he's got
everyone's attention and he better use it to take a stand against
corruption. 

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to our letter to the President calling on him to take a
stand for freedom when he delivers his speech next Tuesday. 

We both know that corruption in politics is a huge problem. Whether it's
gerrymandering in voting districts or floods of corporate and special
interest money pouring into elections, people from all parties and walks
of life know this is a problem. 

President Biden has a chance to send a clear and powerful statement that
fighting corruption needs to be our priority. 

[ [link removed] ]Tell the President — use your bully pulpit to address corruption in
politics.

Next Tuesday night President Biden will have the nation's attention. He
needs to use it to take a clear stand for Democracy. He needs to hear that
from you. 

Let’s hope next week we’re all saying, “bully for you, Mr. President”
