Politics Jan 29, 2014 10:35 AM EDT PBS NewsHour wants to hear from you. Tell us how you think the president addressed your biggest concerns in his annual address to the nation. Watch the submissions here. Updated | Jan. 29, 10:35 a.m. EST: In his State of the Union address Tuesday, President Barack Obama vowed to sidestep Congress “whenever and wherever” necessary to narrow economic disparities between rich and poor. He unveiled an array of modest executive actions to increase the minimum wage for federal contract workers and make it easier for millions of low-income Americans to save for retirement. PBS NewsHour viewers who listened to the president’s message recorded their own responses and shared them with us. You can watch those reactions and add your own on our State of the Union multimedia page. Jan. 28, 10:42 a.m. EST: President Barack Obama will address the nation tonight for his fifth State of the Union address. After a tumultuous year that featured the choppy rollout of HealthCare.gov, the disclosure of secret documents by a former NSA contractor and a partial government shutdown, the president is expected to call on Congress to pursue bipartisan solutions for 2014. What issue do *you* want the president to address? After his speech concludes, the PBS NewsHour will collect video reaction from viewers across the country and abroad. Just like the Republicans will issue a response to Mr. Obama’s address, we want yours.

In your video, please answer this question: **What subject did you want the president to address and how well did he address it?** Please be clear and concise — no more than two minutes — and speak from the heart.
