#PrezD2012 - The 2012 American Presidential Debates at New Work City.

In two months, America will pick one of two roads... The Obama Way or a Romney Path... Until that fateful day, there will be three Presidential debates and one Vice-Presidential debate. In a partnership with our dear friends New Work City, we will have a viewing party for all four debates.

We don't care if you are Red, Blue, Purple, Green, Black/Red or Rainbow... Join us for a lively session of three screens - The debate, our own twitter wall, and a fact checking wall (well, we hope someone will be producing this...)

The first Presidential debate of 2012... Domestic Policy...

Seating is limited to 50 and you MUST RSVP via this meetup.
