That's pretty cool that they are taking a stand, but look at it this way- whoever fills the clowns' pockets with cash gets their way to an extent, and now the people that are actually concerned for the future of this country are holding back their money, so the donations will come from other interests that will further an agenda that is the anti-thesis to what these guys are taking a stand against. Somehow that cash vacuum will be filled. One of the comments hit the nail on the head: "All Congressmen should wear uniforms like nascar drivers so we can identify their corporate sponsors, They do not represent the American voters"

It's too bad that these losers have turned our political process into such a circus that anyone actually cares what the CEO of Starbucks thinks about it, aside from him casting his individual vote at the ballot box, or running for office himself.
