hi Glenwo2,
this is why you have to get away from FoxNews, which is utter fecal matter, and get yourself some boring 'ol NPR.
here's the answer to your question, and finding it wasn't some elusive treasure hunt. just get away from crappy sources of information.
Pelosi wrote, "The U.S. Secret Service was designated as the lead federal agency responsible for coordinating, planning, exercising, and implementing security for National Special Security Events." She added, "However, both the U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security have not been funded for 26 days now — with critical departments hamstrung by furloughs."
Pelosi continued, "Sadly, given the security concerns and unless government re-opens this week, I suggest that we work together to determine another suitable date after government has re-opened for this address or for you to consider delivering your State of the Union address in writing to the Congress on January 29th."

btw, i don't think Democrats are actually scared when Mr. Trump decides to speak to America. they are, probably, kind of hopeful.
its during these moments of speaking to the masses, unfiltered and without constraints, that he sometimes makes helpful declarations like, "
If we don't get what we want ... I will shut down the government. And I am proud to shut down the government for border security.... I will take the mantle."
in Aaron Sorkin's most leftwing delusional fantasies, he'd never imagine a line like that coming from Mr. Trump's lips.
