Aiming to get viewers more involved in tonight's State of the Union address, ABC and AOL are teaming up to urge people to contribute comments online and on TV.
AOLNews.com is running “The People's State of the Union,” an interactive news campaign that features a live ABC News blogger who will provide a “truth squad analysis,” listing points that President Bush makes as “true” or “false.”
