A column by Joe Nocera in the New York Times describes a proposal by Howard Schultz, Chairman and CEO of Starbucks, to boycott campaign donations to federal officeholders until they seriously address the nation's fiscal and economic problems.

Democracy 21 wholeheartedly supports the Schultz proposal to boycott campaign donations to federal officeholders. We will work with Mr. Schultz to help build national support for this effort to break through the polarization and partisanship in Washington that has blocked fundamental solutions to the fiscal and economic problems facing the country.

Democracy 21 applauds Mr. Schultz for his leadership in stepping forward with a bold and innovative idea to challenge federal officeholders to end the gridlock in Washington that is doing great damage to the interests of the American people.
