Dear MoveOn member,


Want to rate President Obama's State of the Union address tonight?and
have your opinions sent to the media in real-time?


We've built a new system that works just like the dial-testing does on
CNN or MSNBC. But instead of a handpicked group in a TV studio, our
live-rating system will be powered by MoveOn members all across America.


It's a great way to participate in tonight's speech, and make sure
progressives are getting their voices heard. Want to join in tonight at
9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT?



Yes, I'd like to rate the State of the Union live tonight

No, thanks

To participate, you just need to have a TV and a computer in the same
room, as well as cable television. (In order to sync up all the ratings
nationwide, we're all going to watch the same channel: MSNBC.) Oh, and
you need to be able to click a mouse.


Seeing our reactions live will give the media a much better sense of how
grassroots progressives are reacting to Obama's first big speech?which
is especially important after these last few weeks.


It's a new piece of technology, so it may be a bumpy ride at times. Just
bear with us, and keep on giving your opinion through the whole speech.


Thanks for all you do.

-Justin, Eli, Peter, Kat, and the rest of the team
