Conservatives are fired up and various groups are looking to turn up the heat online leading up to the President's State of the Union address this Wednesday.

On Wednesday, January 27th the NRCC is hosting its first ever live text chat surrounding the White House's State of the Union address.

This unique program will allow Americans to utilize technology to engage with other concerned Americans to discuss the pressing matters facing our country, said John Randall, ecampaign director at the NRCC...

...Mobile has played a huge role in the past few political elections and with a reach greater than TV and PCs combined, it's not hard to see why.

With politics touching the very core of a person’s beliefs and the cell phone being the most personal communication device each of us have, mobile marketing is the perfect medium to connect with Americans...

The National Republican Congressional Committee is creating a two-way communication tool that will truly engage Americans and by creating a powerful, ongoing relationship.” 

Here's how you can participate: Simply text SOTU or STATE to the short code 777218.
