Would you ever join a movement like this?

I came across www.StampStampede.org a few days ago.

It's a grassroots campaign started by Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's.

They are spreading awareness of big money's influence in the U.S. political system by STAMPING MONEY with messages like "Not to be Used for Buying Elections" and "Stamp Money Out of Politics."

I think the cost of U.S. elections is INSANE and don't get me started on lobbyists influencing a.k.a. bribing our politicians...but is Stamp Stampede a good way to start being an activist about this issue? It seems great for someone like me who is too busy (I'm juggling two jobs) to attend marches and go door-to-door with a petition...

Here is more information on the campaign: http://www.stampstampede.org/pages/about-stamping

What do all of you think? Should I get a stamp?
