Dear Darian,</p>
<p>
Tonight at 9 p.m Eastern Time, President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney will square off in their first of three debates. The focus will be on domestic policy and it should be a great opportunity to see where both candidates stand on the issues.</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.servicenation.org/page/m/414627c5/102e0b5a/77f24d77/46d39acf/3478590561/VEsE/" title="http://ireport.cnn.com/topics/849164?hpt=hp_bn3"><b>What question would you like to ask the candidates?</b></a></p>
<p>
<img align="right" alt="Romney and Obama" height="199" src="http://www.servicenation.org/page/-/-servicenation/img/Romeny_Obama.jpg" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; " width="300">Now while we hope the moderator, Jim Lehrer, will ask a question on national service it's probably not likely. But you're in luck. ServiceNation has taken a look at both candidates records on national service and we put together two blog posts that will at least give you a sense of what we could expect from each for the next four years if elected or re-elected president.</p>

The second presidential debate on 10/16 will be moderated by CNN's Candy Crowley and will be a town hall format. It is very possible that they may decide to take questions from online submissions from CNN's website so let's try to get national service in the conversation.</p>

<p>
Then grab your popcorn and tune in tonight. It should be an exciting evening and I can't wait for the fireworks.</p>
