#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 second Presidential debate of 2012... a townhall on Foreign and Domestic Policy...

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

The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which citizens will ask questions of the candidates on foreign and domestic issues.

The town meeting participants will be undecided voters selected by the Gallup Organisation.
