Presidential Debate #1

One of my new favorite past times is watching political events while tweeting on Twitter.  You can capture great quotes and get insights from the Twitter pros and newbies.  The National Urban League along with the National Urban League Young Professionals will host a Twitter Watch Party during the 1st Presidential debate on Wednesday, October 3rd at 8:30 pm EST.  Follow them @naturbanleague and @nulyp.  You can also follow me @brandirichard for my nonpartisan “quotes” from both candidates.  It’s less about what the pundits say the candidates said and far more about what the candidates actually said and how it resonated with you that is important.  That is what determines your vote.  #OccupytheVote

Link up with other NULYP members who will participate.

Also join us for the NULYP Occupy the Vote Ustream Town Hall with Kevin Powell and Wisconsin Senator Lena Taylor on Thursday, October 4th at 8:00 pm EST.

If you are near the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday, October 10th, join NULYP’s Rally in support of Diversity in Higher Education, Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin.
