Who should give the progressive response to the State of the Union speech? [View all]

Why do the GOP get two responses and we get none?

Basically it's three speeches from 3 conservatives: Obama, Rubio, and Rand Paul. Seems kind of lopsided.

Why no liberal or progressive opportunity to respond? Not fair.
