We the People

We the people voted politicians into the government
We deserve to hear the president’s annual State of the Union speech!
We deserve to hear the president's thoughts and intentions
Especially at a critical time of Government Shutdown, as it is
To think someone can order for this to be stopped is unbelievable!
It is time to speak wherever we can, to voice our opinions
Regardless of the division, we must stand strong for our rights
Hold onto hope that positive differences can and will be made
If we pay attention, take positive action, let our voices be heard
               	   -   And never give up!    -
                       God Bless America!

like you Heidi I didn't know this was a possibility... In fact I thought the President had a constitutional obligation to report on the state of our union. Has this happened before? Bravo Heidi

Hi. P.S. To my knowledge, it has never happened before. I am not certain, but I don't think so. I appreciate your comment on this very much :)

WoW! Heidi Such a powerful and revelant piece. Whether we are two the left, the right or someone where in the middle, he is the president. I say let him speak I want to hear what he has to say( whether I'm for or against shouldn't matter) Well done:-) Alexis
