I find it quite interesting that Ben Cohen, the former, owner of Ben & Jerry's, would promote keeping big money out of politics. Ben received $40 million when Unilever purchased Ben & Jerry's in 2000. I would consider that "big money". In recent years he has contributed nearly a quarter of a million dollars to various political candidates. That does not include the money he has contributed to various political causes. Political contributions are a matter of public record. Check it out on the Federal Election Commission website - fec.gov or at individual-contributors.insidegov.com and at various other websites. So, Ben, whose money are you trying to keep out of politics? Those who do not agree with you?
