Debates 2008: Watch, Party, Vote! CODEPINK
is getting excited about the great debates of 2008. They
are great excuses for special events, bringing together
activists and our neighbors who are getting engaged in
politics during election season, bringing out new voters,
and sometimes breaking out drinking games, bingo cards
and other group games. Senators
Barack Obama and John McCain will go head-to-head in three
debates this fall. Meet up with friends as
the two candidates square off on foreign policy and national
security issues. Get in on the action and attend
or host a party to watch the presidential and vice presidential
debates! Print out your sign up sheets, get your
bingo cards ready, and mark your calendars! |
