THE 'STATE OF THE UNION 2014' MULTIPLIED..............

From the late 17th Century and its inception until 1965, thirty six American Presidents alone delivered an annual message mandated by the U.S. Constitution, we know as the 'State Of The Union' Address.  Beginning in 1966, a member of the opposing Political Party from that of the President began giving an alternative Response to the SOTU, following the President's Address.  Tonight's Response will be schizophrenic, coming not in one message but in four The Official separate responses by four different messengers. The Official Republican Response to the Democratic President will come from their highest ranking Congresswoman in the GOP House Leadership, Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers.  A Cuban American Latina Congresswoman will be delivering a Spanish speaking Message.  United States Senator from Utah Mike Lee, a Tea Party Response.  U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky a all but certain 2016 Presidential contender, a Rand Paul alternative message.  Whether the Republican Party as the ones out of The White House presently, is best served by a Response to the President's SOTU that is multiplied and bifurcated, is very questionable.  Hearing what they have to say as Alternatives to the President's Message and their ability to unite the Republican Party in constructive efforts for the betterment and common good of our Nation only the remaining eleven months will tell..............Father Troy David
