Business-hippies Ben & Jerry know ice cream
cross-branding is a powerful way to push a message and make people
smile. Hell, their corporate language refers to the CEO as "chief euphoria officer." With that in mind, they've chosen

Common Cause is "a nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy organization committed to honest, open and accountable government, and their education fund "conducts research, education, and outreach activities." The education fund is a 501(c)(3) affiliate of a 501 (c)(4) lobbying organization. Which begs the question, what kind of research, education and outreach activities are these
commie bastards doing and why's it infecting our ice cream?
