Dear fellow MoveOn member,
Ben and Jerry here, the ice cream guys.
H.R.1, the For the People Act, has just been introduced in Congress. It's the best thing to happen for getting money out of politics and ending voter suppression since our Stamp Stampede protest began way back in 2012.
Over 100,000 of us have been making our voices heard by—totally legally—rubber-stamping paper currency with the "Stamp Money Out of Politics" message. Making your voice heard loud and clear like that is what makes all the difference. As Abraham Lincoln said, "Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed." And every stamped bill is seen by 875 people as it gets passed around.
And with the introduction of H.R.1, it sure seems like all those dollar bills that MoveOn members have been stamping are having some effect.
But not every MoveOn member has a stamp. So in order to make your sentiment public, MoveOn and the Stampede have arranged to give a FREE STAMPEDE RUBBER STAMP to anyone who donates $16 or more to MoveOn now. One lucky stamper will also win free Ben & Jerry's ice cream for a year!
Here is a picture of what a bill looks like after it's been stamped! Pretty great, right?

Sustained public demand is what's going to turn the tide and restore our democracy to rule of the people instead of rule of the money. Ice cream melts, but when you stamp a dollar bill, it stays in circulation for five years.
Now you might say, "I never use cash." Well, I'll bet there's one or two bills in your wallet right now. All you gotta do is stamp 'em and spend 'em.
And besides, don't you think it's time to stop feeding the greedy credit card companies that are charging exorbitant interest and fees for being one freaking day late? And on top of that, they're taking a bunch of those fees and bribing politicians to cut regulations, so they can charge higher fees.
Revolt. Go retro. Join the paper cash society. Your loved one will be way impressed when you pull out a nice big wad of cash next time you're out on the town. And won't they be head over heels when they see that you've personally adorned your entire wad with the "Stamp Money Out of Politics" rubber stamp?!
All's ya gotta do is click here … quick ... our ice creams are melting!
Thanks for all you do.
