AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka issued the following statement on President Obama’s State of the Union message tonight.

Tonight President Obama called on the nation to look forward and spoke to our nation’s prospects and vulnerabilities: we are faced with opportunities for progress, but paralyzed by weak job growth and an economy that is increasingly out of balance for middle class families.

In a new video, National Nurses United (NNU) brings nurses and citizens across the country together to say, “Stand Up, President Obama! We’re looking for the president we voted for.” They’re urging him to stand up to corporate power and monied interests.

Here’s an opportunity for working Americans to ask President Obama a question. After the State of the Union address tomorrow, the president is conducting a special YouTube interview at the White House, in which he will answer questions.
