USA - Political Integrity: Ben & Jerry's founder brings protest to Virginia Key - by Ben Crandell,

The man who brought us Cherry Garcia, Phish Food and New York Super Fudge Chunk has a distaste for the mint that is American politics. So Ben Cohen is fighting back the best way he knows how, with persuasive slogans — and ice cream.
The co-founder of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream will be in Miami this weekend with his Stamp Stampede tour, in which he and a group of volunteers stamp dollar bills with red-ink words of protest: One stamp says, "Not 2 B Used for Bribing Politicians." The other reads, "Stamp Money Out of Politics."
"The Stampede is a grassroots action to build the movement to get money out of politics by stamping messages on paper currency," Cohen says. "The Supreme Court has said that money is free speech, and we are taking them at their word. We're legally making our money scream."
Cohen will appear 3-5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15, at Culture Camp, a four-day series of workshops on music, dance, cooking, sustainability and community building at Virginia Key Beach Park in Miami through Feb. 18. The events will kick off the Virginia Key GrassRoots Festival of Music, Art and Dance, running Feb. 19-22, with performances by Donna the Buffalo, Jim Lauderdale, Afrobeta, Elastic Bond, Locos por Juana and the Spam Allstars, among many others. Several of the musicians are scheduled to appear at Culture Camp.
