Deceived Nation Webinar
Are you ready to fight back against the lies that pollute our public discourse? Join us for a 45-minute Zoom webinar on Tuesday, July 31st from 6pm to 6:45pm to help us advance Deceived Nation, a project of the good government group, Concerned Citizens of NY-03. Officially launched in April, the website for the Deceived Nation project is up and running, and there are over 30 Fact or Fiction Reports already posted on the website pushing back on the lies, distortions, and distractions told by Bruce Blakeman and other Long Island politicians. But the value of this amazing new tool is limited unless we get thousands of people to use it to help spread the truth. We are now building the DN Rapid Response Team to do just that, and we need you!
Please plan to join us on July 31st at 6pm. We will walk you through the vision, how to use the tool, and you will be sent a Zoom link ahead of the webinar.
