Brady Campaign attacking Starbucks

[PascalFleischman]

Starbucks is generally referred to as a super-liberal establishment, based in Seattle, and famous for their support of various causes (Global warming, pro-gay stuff, etc.)

I wouldn't get all tingly about it just yet.

Perhaps one of their hot chocolates might be in order.

hmm.. yes good call HK

I think Starbucks taking this position on OC despite being "super-liberal" is all the more reason to tell them you appreciate their decision.

I heard from Home Office at Starbucks this afternoon.

I heard from Home Office at Starbucks this afternoon.

I got all excited, and was gonna post the response that I got, but it appears that I got the exact response (word for word), signed by the same person.

I'm glad that they sent a response that did somewhat address my initial email. I hope that they continue with their current policy and let the local laws prevail.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I went to the site you referenced and submitted the comment below.

I just read a story about the Brady Campaign trying to bully your company regarding your position on respecting firearm laws in a given state. I have never been a regular customer of any coffee establishment but I am going to change. I truly respect your position and anytime I want of a cup of coffee and near one of your stores I will definitely be one of your customers.

Brilliant ... ... I hope you don"t mind I copied your statement and use it at the Starbucks site !

As I said to jerryinoregon, I don't mind at all. By the way I also got the same response from Starbucks and the repetition doesn't bother me. At least they are responding with a positive message, at least from our perspective.

I heard from Home Office at Starbucks this afternoon.

I got the same reply email.

[2beararms]

Got mine.

I'll take the form email that really says nothing over no email at all, but honestly, from the wording ... can you tell what side their on???

Really well written statement from a political standpoint.
