What are you doing Tonight?

On Tuesday, January 31, 2006 at 8:30 p.m., the Western New York Coalition for Progress will host a State of the Union watch party at JP Bullfeathers Restaurant, located at 1010 Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo. Admission is free, but donations to help defray the cost of food will be graciously accepted.

Article II, Section 3 of the United States Constitution holds that the President, “shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” President Bush’s State of the Union speech will set forth his opinions on the economic, social, and political health of the nation, as well as lay out his policy objectives for the upcoming year. image001.jpg

Attendees will watch President Bush’s speech, as well as the Democratic response as a group, after which we will host an informal discussion about the address’ content.

In addition, we plan to play a game of “State of the Union Bingo”, where participants can compete for prizes if enough words or phrases on their bingo cards match up with what President Bush says.

I bought the prizes. Don’t come just for the prizes.
