The CEO of Starbucks is urging fellow business leaders to join him in getting Washingtons attention by refusing to give money to political campaigns until there is a serious plan to rein in deficits.

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, Howard Schultz wrote Sunday in an email to business honchos obtained by POLITICO.

I wonder if this will appear in Schultz's next book, TBT: When Austerity is Not Enough.
