WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful John McCain will speak about the need for public service at a national forum on that topic being held in New York on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

ServiceNation, a coalition of more than 100 service groups, including AARP and United Way of America, said Sunday that McCain has agreed to attend the two-day forum on "A Nation of Service." Democrat Barack Obama has also been invited to participate.

"The summit will be an important remembrance of those that made the ultimate sacrifice serving their country and others as we focus on how to inspire others to serve causes greater than their own self-interest through national and community service," said McCain, R-Ariz., a Vietnam War veteran.

The forum is part of a one-year campaign by ServiceNation to promote volunteerism by creating target groups such as an Education Corps or a Green/Clean Energy Corps. Its goal is to have 100 million citizens volunteer in schools, workplaces and faith-based and community institutions each year.

1. Ever notice that these bastards always start in with the "National Service"

shit & protecting "Our beloved children" when the chips are down? THe shit never happens. Practically nobody can afford to volunteer anymore with the amount of student debt that gets accrued.

It all bullshit feel good republican platitudes that are good medicine for "somebody else".

2. I bet he doe's not go back to the New School when here.

The last time he got booed and had protests for weeks beforehand, and that was before he was the candidate. By the way it was about that that time when Joe Biden was received with applause there.

3. McSAME is such a fr'gn PHONY

He needs to stop picking up on Barack's ideas and just stick to what he knows best...

- ensuring his Depends is dry
- playing a round of shuffleboard before the afternoon sun is too hot
