Research Abstract
E-Advocacy for Nonprofits: The Law of Lobbying and Election Related Activity on the Net

A fundamental change is happening in the way nonprofit organizations engage in grass roots activism, driven by the growth of the Internet. However, while many organizations have recognized the Internet's power and have already begun to use it for organizing and advocacy, the law governing these activities has been slow in expanding to encompass these new techniques for advocacy. This guide tries to fill the gap, offering guidance - in plain language - about how nonprofits can use the Internet to participate in the policymaking process while staying within the law.
