John,
Tomorrow night, President Biden will deliver his State of the
Union before a joint session of Congress. Spoiler alert - the
Democrats will say the state of the union is strong, the Republicans
will say it is weak, and political pundits will spend hours dissecting
who stood up when, and *gasp* did you see the face that one person
made?!? By Wednesday afternoon, we won’t remember any of
it.
Forward is doing politics differently. We
are building a movement from the community level, participating in
robust civil debate, and empowering you and your community to tackle
the issues most important to you and your neighbors. This
is why we want to know the state of your community and learn more
about the issues you’re facing.
The players of political theater
will spend tomorrow night talking about everyday Americans
like us, but they certainly won’t be talking to us. Instead, they're talking to
their partisan base. It’s no coincidence that the number of
Americans who watch the State of the Union (~16%) is roughly the same
as the percentage of Americans who participate in primary elections.
Our politics is built for party bases, not everyday
people.
This is what
makes Forward different. We don’t want to just talk at you, we
want to listen to you. So we’re
asking you to share
with us the state of America and your community through your
eyes.
In
reality, we all know the state of our union is far more complex than
any speech or response can capture. While the leaders of the major
parties and media focus on platitudes, the issues facing everyday
Americans go ignored. We’re doing things differently at Forward, and
we look forward to hearing you share your story with
us.
All the
best, Forward
Party
