Okay, so tonight's the State of the Union address. And as we discussed yesterday, we want to see your response. Crank up the webcam or videocam or even your cell-phone, and deliver your response. Sen. Webb (D-VA) gets to deliver the official response from the Democrats. But we want to see yours too.

How long should it be? Style? We're going to leave that to you, long or short, detailed and specific on particular points or general and thematic. Respond the way you want to respond. We don't expect professionally quality video -- just so we can see your face and hear your voice clearly.

And here's how to send it into us.

To post a video, just:

1. sign in to YouTube (or make an account if you don't have one, it's very quick),

2. upload your video to your account here: http://youtube.com/my_videos_upload

3. go to the TPM SOTU Group here: http://youtube.com/group/tpmsotu

4. join the group by clicking "Join This Group" to the right of the group title

5. add your video by choosing "Add Videos" to the right of the title, choosing from your videos as clicking "Add to Group"

Your video may not immediately appear. We'll do a quick check just to make sure it's a State of the Union response and not a dog training video or a home marital activity update and then we'll upload it to the group site.

Your video will then be available to view along with other members of the TPM community.

You can then watch each other's videos and we'll make a collection of some of our favorites later tonight.

Did you see Keith Olbermann's response? It was beautiful.

"Oceania has always been at war with East Asia."


Priceless!

Most of them were pretty "meh", but for some reason I liked this one.

Really? I thought it was a rather sad exploitation of their daughter to get their political rhetoric across.

Yeah, but I sort of share her sentiments about the deficit nevertheless. :)

Well, you’re not exactly alone there.
I just wonder why they didn’t strap a bomb vest to’er and send’er into a White House tour or something. If they’re gonna exploit’er for their political purposes they might as well do it right. ;)

Is the message here that most TPM readers are less competent than a 4 year old girl to give a response to the SOTU speech? :p
