Examples include the Michigan Public Policy Initiative, an MNA program that • educates policymakers and the media on issues of concern to Michigan nonprofits; • advocates for the Michigan nonprofit sector on public policy issues that affect all 501(c)(3) organizations and the people they serve; and • engages nonprofits in advocacy by providing them with the necessary tools and resources. n Promote and disseminate research on the nonprofit sector.

President Tyler submitted the Texas treaty to the United States Senate. sending with it scores of official documents and a catalog of arguments in (avor of annexation.' He offered evidence of popular support within Texas itself for annexation. He also argued that Britain had designs on Texas which, if allowed to mature, would pose Ii serious threat tu the South's "peculiar institution.'" According to Tyler, the annexation of Texas would be a blessing to the whole nation. Because Texas would most likely concentrate its e.fforts on raising cotton, the North and West would find there a market fOl" horses, beef, and wheat. Among the most important of the obvious advantages was security from outside interference with the institution of slavery, especially from British abolition· ists, who were working to get Texas to abolish slavery.

Some problems have arisen-some states and local units of government resent any direction from Washington-such as our emphasis on ccirrer.t,ions improvement in fiscal 1970.
