Ice cream is delicious. This is disgusting.

Ben and Jerry here—the ice cream guys. We've got old news and new news. Old news: Billionaires are trying to buy our democracy. New news: We have a chance to stop them. Dear fellow MoveOn member, Ben and Jerry here—the ice cream guys. We've got old news and new news. Old news: Billionaires are trying to buy our democracy. New news: We have a chance to stop them. A report out last week shows that just 12 megadonors—most of whom are billionaires—contributed $3.4 billion to federal candidates and political groups between 2009 and 2020.1 You read that right: $3.4 billion to buy elections and stop popular bills from being passed in Congress. This is disgusting. But with the Senate starting to consider the For the People Act—the sweeping bill already passed by the House to expand voting rights and reduce the influence of Big Money in politics—we're closer than we have been in years to curbing the influence of money in politics and strengthening the power of voters, not billionaires, to run our democracy.2 Which is why we're partnering with MoveOn to help pass the For the People Act through the Senate and stop billionaires from buying elections. We're asking you to join us in rubber-stamping bills with the message, "Stamp Money Out of Politics." It's totally legal to do, and every stamped bill becomes a mini-billboard that is seen by nearly 1,000 people as it gets passed around. [Just click here, chip in $16 or more, and we'll send you your very own "Stamp Money Out of Politics" rubber stamp! The money will be used to help MoveOn increase pressure on the handful of Senate Democrats needed to pass the bill, and you'll automatically be entered in a drawing to win Ben & Jerry's ice cream for a year!]( Wow! An awesome dollar-decorator rubber stamp, a chance to help out MoveOn, and a possibility of winning ice cream for a year—all while saving our democracy? Hard to resist! Seriously, {NAME}, this is a great way to get Big Money out of politics—especially during a pandemic. Stamping bills is safe and socially distanced, but you will still have a big impact as we build momentum to pass the For the People Act. These mini-billboards stay in circulation for 2.5 years, and each bill is viewed by nearly 1,000 people. And when you chip in to MoveOn, you're not just getting a self-inking "Stamp Money Out of Politics" rubber stamp in return, you're also fueling MoveOn's efforts to pass the For the People Act through the Senate, so that we can make real progress on everything from climate change to re-envisioning the police and fighting for racial justice. Oh, and you'll also be entered in a drawing to win Ben & Jerry's ice cream for a whole year! More than 100,000 MoveOn members have already joined our protest and stamped millions of bills. Will you join us?

Right-wing groups are spending tens of millions of dollars on TV ads to smear the For the People Act, a critical progressive bill that would help enable every American to vote and get Big Money out of politics. Meanwhile, donations to progressive groups like MoveOn are plummeting now that a Democrat is in the White House, meaning we don’t have the resources to fight back. That’s a huge problem, and that’s why MoveOn urgently needs your support. Will you chip in to fight right-wing lies and pass urgent legislation to confront the multiple crises our country faces?
