I don't see a need to have a character limit for the cause announcement. In fact, I ran into the character limit writing a relatively short message.

We should change the DB column to be a text field rather than a varchar(400) to give us maximum flexibility. I honestly don't know how the non-profits will use this announcements module so we should not force them to use it a certain way (or not to use it at all) by forcing constraints on it. The first version should give the maximum flexibility for the number of features we build.

I also don't see this as a big change.

From the UI perspective the only thing that I can think of that needs to change is the input field in the blog/post/announcement/bulletin edit page should be a text area as opposed to an input field.
