Starbucks petition seeks end to D.C. spat

[Eaglewings]

Starbucks called Thursday for leaders in Washington to resolve the ongoing fiscal crisis, announcing plans to offer a petition on the subject to customers at its thousands of locations across the U.S.

The petition calls for lawmakers to "reopen our government to serve the people," "pay our debts on time to avoid another financial crisis" and "pass a bipartisan and comprehensive long-term budget deal by the end of the year."

Bipartisan for all not wanting this shutdown~

Starbucks releases petition calling for end to debt ceiling, shutdown fights - Oct. 10, 2013

I like it, but I'm not sure "spat" is the right word.


Are blackmailers "fighting" with their victims or just trying to extort them?

There's really noting to fight about and little to negotiate (spending cuts/tax loophole cuts) -- just do your job, turn in a CR that will pass the Senate and get on with your lives. Jesus will forgive this transgression -- the voters in 2014? No promises.
