Service Nation kicks off the first post-conventions forum and I'll be there
It's September 11, 2008.
We're seven years away from the attack on the Twin Towers. We're also 7 days away from the closing of the Republican National Convention.
The same convention in which Rudy Giuliani, Sarah Palin and even John McCain himself spent their time deriding community organizers and community service all the while claiming to be the party of people "who put service before self" in their quest to keep "America First".
So what am I going to do in a couple of hours? Thanks to the fine people of Kenneth Cole's Awearness blog, am going to the Service Nation Presidential Forum, to cover Barack Obama and John McCain and see them discuss their thoughts on community service and ... ahem ... community organizers.
It is certainly going to be interesting to see McCain explain how he could go along with the deriding of community organizers and non-profit service while keeping a straight face.

The Service Nation blog is a good source of info as well.
