I agree with you in every sense. I also had a string of debate with Pallotta on executive compensation. You and I have shared running charities for many years, unlike many other arm chair theorists. Where the rubber hits the road, all this talk of unfettered capitalism for nonprofits is suicidal foolishness, as is joining the pigs feeding at the trough of the stimilus package. Ken Berger, Charity Navigator Robert,

Stick to your guns. We've seen the "find a fault, any fault" game before used as justification for letting a nincompoop run the government rather that Clinton/Gore/Kerry and used for justifying about anything on the basis of "The Dems do it all the time" (never mind facts).

I agree, the lynch mob is out there and they are looking for the next person or group who is burning through the taxpayers cash. You could very well be right, the next non-profit that gets a hefty earmark tagged into a bill, will likely become the next ACORN. With anything given from the government these days, expect the media locust to swarm down. The likes that only Wasilla has seen. If you doo step up to the plate, it would be wise to make sure your house is in order. Good read.

Last week, The Chronicle reported that Sen. Grassley told nonprofits to find other sources of money besides the gov't. A few colleagues said something akin to, "There goes crazy Chuck again," but I tend to agree with him. This whole situation reminds of that carnival game where you stand in a glass box and a huge fan is throwing money all around while you try and grab it. Nonprofits don't need to walk into that - we need to figure out how to turn the fan off and see beyond the fanfare... Amen.
