Tomorrow night (Tuesday, February 24) will be one of the most consequential State of the Union addresses ever. Not because of what Donald Trump will say. But because of what WE will say.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Join DEFIANCE.org<\/a>, as we host the STATE OF THE SWAMP<\/a>: The Rebuttal to the State of the Union, from 7-11pm ET. This will be one of the largest LIVE \u201cSOTU\u201d rebuttals ever, featuring<\/a> Robert De Niro, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Stacey Abrams, Mark Ruffalo, Members of Congress, and dozens more.

Here\u2019s everything you need to know. Below.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

I heard you\u2019re doing something BIG that morning. What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You heard right. The morning of Tuesday, February 24 we will be delivering copies of the U.S. Constitution<\/a> to EVERY Republican Member of Congress with a message: You swore an oath to this. Not to a man. Remember that tonight.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And guess what? We\u2019ve flown in the Portland Frog Brigade<\/a> to handle the deliveries. That\u2019s right, defiant Americans in blow-up frog costumes will be going door-to-door on Capitol Hill to deliver the Constitution. The same people who\u2019ve been protesting Trump\u2019s agents at ICE facilities \u2014 and leading marches nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won\u2019t want to miss it. Tune in below at 930am ET, Tues, Feb 24 <\/strong>at DEFIANCE.News<\/a> or by clicking the button below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
