Question about Clark....

[BlackVelvet04]

Has he changed his stance on mandatory national service?

1. Clark proposed a volunteer service for civilians

I don't remember a mandatory proposal, you might be thinking of another candidate.

5. When he was first thinking of running for president on his website there

was talk of a mandatory plan. It later got changed to voluntary. I didn't stick around long enough to see it get changed.

6. It was never a mandatory plan, it was always completely voluntary

2. Does he support it?

That would be excellent news. He might jump up to my #2 spot if that is the case.

But somehow, I highly doubt that anyone who says that too loudly has a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination, so I'm guessing he's either against it, or not saying.
