Abstract:

This report provides a number of case examples that demonstrate the government's willingness to force its point of view on nonprofits and take punitive action toward those that raise questions about those viewpoints. Taken one by one, these examples may not seem to have a broad impact beyond those directly involved. But taken together, they mean major trouble for the nonprofit sector. When nonprofits are silenced it indicates a crisis for democratic government.
