This Wednesday, the morning after President Obama’s State of the Union Address, White House officials will spend the day answering questions from the public via social media. You can learn more about the event at https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2014/01/24/first-ever-virtual-big-block-cheese-day-white-house-open-questions.
This is a great opportunity to let the President know that you care about the ongoing tobacco epidemic and to ask him what he plans to do about it.
You can communicate your questions through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and via Google+ Hangout. You can set up free accounts on one or more of those platforms by clicking on the links.
ASH will be posting some sample questions prior to the event, in addition to asking questions throughout the event this Wednesday.
Remember, it’s not about getting the answer we want, it’s about letting our President know that tobacco is an ongoing calamity and that we are looking for his leadership.
