Sen. Mike Lee to Give Tea Party Response to State of the Union Address

Separate from the Republicans' planned response

The Tea Party will have its say in response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Jan. 28, as Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, delivers an address after the speech.

Lee is known as one of the Senate's most staunch conservatives, a strong backer of the grassroots Tea Party movement. Republicans also plan a party response; no details have yet been released.

"For the Tea Party movement, 2014 is not just about taking back the Senate, but it is also about putting forward conservative ideas that will allow for America to prosper," said Amy Kremer Tea Party Express Chairman.
