Tweeting and State of Union Address

I have started tweeting to users of the hashtag for tonight's State of the Union address. The hashtag is #SOTU. My tweets are saying:
Will President Obama #DeclareForDemocracy? http://2016candidatesdeclarations.blogspot.com/2015/11/2016-congressional-candidate-declaration.html
Please join me.

For guidance about this type of tweeting, see Tweeting during debate and Breaking out of like minded social media circles.

EDIT
The object of the proposed tweeting is to break out of like minded social media circles.

I have been advocating this type of tweeting for months.

The grassroots have been expressing support for this kind of tweeting. I have told  MAYDAY.US, Represent.Us, WolfPAC, StampStampede, TakeBackOurRepublic and other campaign finance reform organizations about the interest of the grassroots in the tweeting, but those organizations have declined to express their support.

Today, the grassroots expressed more support, and that has been passed on to the organizations.

Set forth below are tweets from today evidencing the grassroots interest, and passing on of the interest to the organizations:





Whether the organizations will express their support for this kind of tweeting remains to be seen.

If, notwithstanding silence of the organizations, you wish to do this kind of tweeting tonight, please do so. You do not need me around to do your own tweeting.

I did tweeting this morning and may do more tweeting later. Please note my tweets do not use the #SOTU hashtag, so you cannot see them in the #SOTU hashtag stream, and you can see my tweets under My tweets & replies or under the hashtag #DeclareForDemocracy.

If you don't want to send individually directed tweets to users of the #SOTU hashtag and only want to send a tweet "into the stream" under the #SOTU hashtag, you can do so by clicking on


Here is tweet I have sent using above link:
If you have any questions, please tweet me or email me (rdshattuck@gmail.com).

HAPPY TWEETING!


Update 1/13
Your Tweeting and the State of the Union Address does not have to be "live" and "in the stream" during the address.

You can send individually directed tweets now to tweeters who have used the #SOTU hashtag.

Just go to the #SOTU hashtag and send some tweets.

Yesterday morning and last night I sent individually directed tweets that said
Will President Obama #DeclareForDemocracy?http://2016candidatesdeclarations.blogspot.com/2015/11/2016-congressional-candidate-declaration.html 
You can send that tweet, or maybe you want to send tweets that say
President Obama should #DeclareForDemocracyhttp://2016candidatesdeclarations.blogspot.com/2015/11/2016-congressional-candidate-declaration.html 
Just decide on what tweet you want to send and start sending tweets to users of the #SOTU hashtag.

See the note set out at the end of Tactics for how to send your individually directed tweets easily and quickly.
