This Fourth of July weekend, Albert Hunt, Executive Editor of the Washington Bureau for Bloomberg News, spotlighted America Forward and the power of social entrepreneurship in an article in the International Herald Tribune. Hunt connects the America Forward message to the common commitment of both Senator McCain and Senator Obama to national service and public-private partnerships to solve America's pressing social problems. Hunt writes, "Social entrepreneurs are pushing a new paradigm that bridges partisan and philosophical divides," he calls social entrepreneurs "idealists without illusions" and praises the work of coalition members like Teach For America, Year Up, and New Leaders for New Schools.
