Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain have accepted an invitation to speak at a forum on public service to be held in New York City on September 11, the organizers announced Thursday, reports Reuters.
A group called MyGoodDeed.org, which seeks to transform September 11 into a national day of charitable service, requested participation by the senators, who will speak separately at the ServiceNation Summit, in New York, to “discuss their respective visions for the role of service in America’s future,” said organizers of the event.
The public has been invited to submit questions to the presidential candidates.
