CtW Chair Anna Burger has issued a statement regarding the President's State of the Union address yesterday. Here's the link.
Change begins now in America. Seven years of the Bush administration has left the state of our union weaker, poorer and less prepared for the future. Our nation is facing one of most serious economic downturns in decades. Working families are struggling to make ends meet due to rising food and gas prices, home heating bills and health care costs. Real wages are declining, unemployment is rising and retirement benefits are disappearing. The Bush administration has sacrificed the needs of working men and women for the interests of the powerful and privileged.
“Now is the time to reverse the policies of the Bush administration. We need bold and immediate action from our congressional leadership to begin restoring the American Dream for all working families.
UPDATE: Here's a roundup of other reactions from around CtW and the progressive blogosphere.

Anna Burger, I agree whole heartedly with your statement. However the areas that are affecting the working class are too broad to be addressed as a whole. Select the one issue that is winnable and concentrate Change To Win resources there. Once you have the first real win under our belt go to the next issue and continue forward.
