Feeling Creative? "The Real State of the Union"

Share your views on one of the issues below or create your own vision.

Been to the gas station lately? Gas prices have more than doubled since George Bush took office -- it's an outrage. Send a message to the Republican road blocks in Congress and in the White House.

Household income has gone down, five million more Americans fell into poverty, and gas prices more than doubled. Republicans continue to offer massive tax breaks to oil companies and the well-off. Do you think it’s about time the middle class got a break?

This year the Democratic Congress provided families the most college cost assistance since the GI bill in 1944, but skyrocketing college costs remain a difficult or insurmountable challenge for so many Americans.

Whether it’s Bush’s vetoes of the Children’s Health Insurance Program or his vetoes of bills to expand potentially life-saving stem cell research. These decisions were dangerous and devastating to those who are suffering.

Bush’s 10-year, trillion dollar war in Iraq has already cost America too much – too many lives lost, too many devastating injuries sustained, too many taxpayer dollars spent, and too much damage to our reputation in the world.

We’re leaving it up to you. What is your vision for the future? Do you have a personal story that tells how Bush’s decisions impact the lives of real people? Then tell us the Real State of the Union.
