Make The State of OUR Unions Stronger: Tweet the White House This Thursday

By Steve Ralls on 01/24/2012 @ 03:11 PM

UPDATE: At Thursday's LGBT Twitter town hall, the White House weighed in on a question urging the President to stop the separation of binational families:

POTUS supports #DOMA repeal to help keep binational #LGBT couples 2gether @DHSgov enforcement discretion includes #LGBT #WHchat

This evening, President Obama will deliver his annual State of the Union address, outlining his priorities and goals for the country for the coming year.

As soon as the President concludes his remarks, pundits, politicos and everyone in-between will begin their analysis of what the President said . . . what he didn't say . . . and what he should have said.

This year, you get a say, too.

At 11am ET on Thursday, you can join a live session of the White House's LGBT Office Hour - via Twitter - with Miriam Vogel, White House Senior Policy Advisor, and Gautam Raghavan, White House Associate Director for Public Engagement.

You can ask questions, using the #WHchat hashtag - and follow the Q & A through the @WHLive Twitter account.

It's your chance to tell the President: Make the state of OUR unions stronger by ending green card denials for LGBT spouses and beginning the work to pass the Uniting American Families Act.

At 11am Thursday, join us in sending one of these tweets to the White House:

Will the President stop denying green cards filed by lesbian and gay couples?

Will the President endorse the Uniting American Families Act to stop the separation of LGBT families?

If we all tweet at 11am on Thursday, we can send a powerful, coordinated message to the White House: We can't wait. The time to stand up for our families is right now.
