I came across a mention of this over on highroad, buyblue.org, a website dedicated to "blue" companies and encourages people to vote with their pocket book.

I think I'll use it instead to decide which companies I may stop frequenting with my business.

"Starbucks currently has a 100% BuyBlue rating due to its executives' political contributions for the 2003-2004 election cycle. During that election cycle, every Starbucks executive whose contributions we researched on the Federal Elections Commission site contributed to a Democratic candidate." Also, I recently came across mention that they are apparently a major contributor to anti-gun causes as well. Guess I'll have to look into if this is true or not and reconsider spending $5 a day there (that's $1825 a year).
