2nd Comment: Daily Commons: History of Non Profit

Historical Theory - Communities in America were formed well before formal government. Citizens were forced to come together to address issues within their communities and work together to form a solution.

Without nonprofit organizations there would be a lot of slack that the United States government would have to pick up. American's would not be happy about this at all. I think that gratitude should be shown. America needs a holiday to celebrate nonprofit organizations. And there should be an award ceremony held for the non government agencies who help the most citizens and meet their goals.
