On June 7, 2012, Bonnie Kavoussi posted on The Huffington Post that Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen is protesting the Supreme Court “Citizens United” decision.
“Cohen — a bankroller of the Occupy movement — is participating in the launch of Move To Amend, which encourages people to rubber stamp dollar bills to protest the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision made in 2010, opening the floodgates for unlimited political spending by corporations.
“The stamps will feature a number statements such as: “Corporations are not people,” “Money is not speech,” and “Not to be used for bribing politicians,” according to a Move to Amend press release.
“The organization seeks to do just as its name suggests: build support for amending the Constitution to say that corporations do not have the same rights as people and that money is not a form of speech. Such amendment would, in theory, overturn Citizens United.”
