Through Michael Wyland and others, NPQ has been following the sorry story about the Lois Lerner scandal at the IRS, regarding what she did or didn’t do, what she knew and didn’t know, etc., concerning the IRS’s review of 501(c)(4) applications of Tea Party-related groups.

The Western Watersheds Project, a nonprofit conservation group that opposes public lands ranching, is being sued by more than a dozen ranchers and landowners for trespassing on their properties repeatedly over nine years in an effort to collect water samples.

In a world of people who live with self-congratulatory proclamations about their supposed impact on public issues, important examples of people who have really done something with their lives as nonprofit public policy advocates and movement leaders can get lost. “Atomic Veteran” advocate Acie Byrd died last month, and he deserved the attention and recognition that he didn’t seem to get.
