Vote New York

September 11, 2008 John McCain, and Barack Obama will be appearing in New York City, not to campaign, but to participate in a civic forum answering questions submitted by internet users and the audience. Like the most recent forum the candidates will be appearing separately. Additionally family members of 9/11 victims will be in the audience. The event will be hosted by a coalition of groups called “ServiceNation”, the topic of the forum will be on Community Service focusing on “the role of citizenship and service in post-9/11 America”.

Each of the candidates have pledged to stop running negatives campaign ads on 9/11 after the website MyGoodDeed.org asked them to impose a moratorium to mark the day. A NYC location for the event has yet to be determined. This will be their first joint appearance after the conventions.
