Stamping money is just the latest in a long list of things regular people can do as part of the fight against money in politics. To promote this innovative, subversive and fun tactic, Ben & Jerry have launched a money stamping photo contest. It lasts from today to Jan, 15th, so we build up some momentum before the 3rd anniversary of the Citizen's United Supreme Court decision.
This is from the announcement sent out and posted on their website:
People send us great stamping photos all the time – and we love it! So we’ve decided to hold a photo contest.
Sharing photos of stamped dollars is a great way to spread the word about the Stampede and to help get money out of politics… But we also have some pretty cool prizes:
- Signed photograph of Ben & Jerry
- Pints of Ben & Jerry’s Ice cream
- Stampede T-shirts
- Collector’s edition rubber stamps
