Questions for the Nonprofit Sector

Check out this very interesting blog which asks what the nonprofit sector's role is in the 2008 election and as promoters of civic engagement. More importantly the author states; "The problem, rather, is that the broader social policy environment is hostile to most of our [nonprofits'] missions, hostile even to the concept of a common good. That's the limiting factor that should be changed."
