Awesome: Starbucks CEO to Washington, DC--"We're Cutting You Off"

No more campaign contributions to anybody until everybody cleans up their act.  Now that's an idea.  Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is also encouraging other CEOs to do likewise:
"I am asking that all of us forgo political contributions until the Congress and the President return to Washington and deliver a fiscally, disciplined long term debt and deficit plan to the American people," Schultz wrote in a letter that was passed on to members of the NYSE and Nasdaq.
Hit 'em where it hurts!  Aaaaand now I think I shall go get myself a nice mocha frappuccino.
