Getting Together, Working Together

Print PDF

102_0034Democrats and community members got together as the President spoke about working together.   Around the state friends gathered to talk politics and listen to the President's first State of the Union.  President Obama persisted in the optimism that with hard work and bi-partisan work, we can continue the economic recovery.  The United States can be the leader in green energy creation and green job creation.  With a focus on renewing the middle class and helping small businesses expand, the President laid out a positive path for America.

Thanks to all the hard work of volunteers, county leaders and hosts to bring everyone together and get focused on the challenges of our nation and our state.  About 175 people gathered for the State of the Union Party in Sioux Falls.  The group heard from Mike Heuther and many other candidates running for office.  It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm across the state!
