The Very Survival of Nonprofits Is Being Threatened
So whether you're concerned that this will push more burden to the inefficient and broke government or that this will unravel the already frayed safety net in our society provided by nonprofits, you should act.
May I encourage you to do two things?
First, today, right now, before you forget, write a letter to President Obama and your representatives asking them to protect the tax deductibility of nonprofit donations for all Americans — especially the most generous. (If you want help with language, go to DMAAction.org.) If you have the energy and a couple of extra stamps, write another letter asking them not to phase out the nonprofit postal rate.
