Citizens to Play Role in 'State of the Union' Speech

Tonight citizens will be able to contribute to the President's State of the Union speech.

Steve Outing reports on Poynter org that "ABC News and AOL News will be experimenting tonight with a "People's State of the Union," which will allow citizens to use the Internet to contribute text and video comments with their reactions to the president's speech and the Democratic response. This is designed as a sort of electronic town square.

Some of the video is expected to come from people sending in short cell-phone video clips".
