Friend: I'm asking 5,000 Democrats to speak out in support of President Biden after last night's State of the Union address, and I've personally selected you to represent xxxxxx. Please, will you take a moment to respond to my live poll?

Friend, President Biden just delivered a powerful State of the Union address in which he laid out his vision for America – one that truly delivers on its democratic ideals. 

He's committed to advancing policies that support working families and everyday Americans – protecting Medicare and Social Security, expanding affordable health care and child care and bolstering our economy with clean energy jobs.

Unfortunately it's already clear that GOP leaders like Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy and Donald Trump are responding to President Biden's call for unity with nothing but obstruction, extremism and hyper partisanship. 

Their efforts to paint President Biden as a radical and prevent commonsense policies most Americans support are a danger to our democracy.

But they're not stopping anytime soon, and with the GOP in charge of the House of Representatives, it's particularly important that Democrats stand with President Biden. So please, I'm personally asking you, friend, will you respond to my live poll right now?

Thank you for speaking out at this crucial moment.
