Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz wants Americans to have a conversation. A conversation about our future as a country and the part we all have in making this nation a better place for us and our children.

In his open letter issued June 29, 2012 Howard wrote in part:

“Let’s tell our government leaders to put partisanship aside and to speak truthfully about the challenges we face. Let’s ask our business leaders to create more job opportunities for the American economy. And as citizens, let’s all get more involved. Please, don’t be a bystander. Understand that we have a shared responsibility in solving our nation’s problems. We can’t wait for Washington.”

To spark the conversation he’s inviting all of us to Starbucks for a free cup of coffee on July 4th, 2012.
