On Tuesday night, alleged American president George Bush gave his first ever State of the Union address. In the spirit of “Another World is Possible” as offered in Porto Alegre, Brazil and New York City this week, several groups present their alternatives to his address:
Democracy Now! convened a "shadow congress" with Howard Zinn, Blanche Wiesen Cook, Adolph Reed, Sonali Kolhathar and Ralph Nader to respond to the Bush address.
On C-Span, watch Rep. Barbara Lee and her fellow Congressional Progressive Caucus members give their Alternative State of the Union Address.
Contract with the Planet offers an address that might have been.
What do you think the State of the Union address should have included? A remorseful confession that corporate interests dominate Bush administration policies? An announcement that the U.S. will stop the bombing and return the prisoners home? Information about where Dick Cheney is hiding and why? Tell us what you think the true state of the union is today.
