Dear fellow MoveOn member,
Ben and Jerry here—the ice cream guys.
The right-wing billionaire Sheldon Adelson just set the all-time record for donating the most money to politicians, plowing an astonishing $183,071,000 into the 2020 elections.1
You read that right: $183 million to elect Republicans.
Now, with the U.S. Senate up for grabs, we can be sure that Adelson and his right-wing billionaire buddies will spend whatever it takes to try to buy off the Senate races in Georgia and ensure that Mitch McConnell remains in charge of the Senate.
We absolutely can't let that happen!
Which is why we're partnering with MoveOn to protest Big Money in politics. We're asking you to join us in rubber-stamping bills with the message, "Stamp Money Out of Politics." It's totally legal, and every stamped bill becomes a mini billboard that is seen by an average of 875 people as it gets passed around.
Wow! A free dollar decorator, a chance to fork over more bucks to MoveOn, AND a chance to win free ice cream for a year. Hard to resist!
Seriously, John, this is a great way to protest Big Money in politics—especially during a pandemic. It's safe and socially distanced but still has a HUGE impact.
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, 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 win in Georgia and end Mitch McConnell's reign as Senate majority leader, so that in 2021 we can make real progress on everything from voting rights to climate change.
Oh, and you'll also be entered into a drawing to win free Ben & Jerry's ice cream for a year!
More than 100,000 MoveOn members have joined our protest and stamped millions of bills. Will you join us?
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work without ordering a stamp? Mitch McConnell is refusing to even acknowledge Joe Biden's victory, and as long as he remains Senate majority leader, he has the power to stop everything, from Cabinet nominations to legislation, in its tracks. It doesn’t have to be this way, and it won't be … IF we win the two Georgia Senate runoff elections on January 5. We can win these seats and flip the Senate blue, but we urgently need your help.
Will you chip in to win in Georgia, flip the Senate, and fight for progressive change in 2021?
