Help Me Get Rush Limbaugh off the Air

Subject: Tell Rush Limbaugh's advertisers: Stop supporting sexist attacks on women.
Dear MyBloggers Friends:


When Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown Law School student, testified before
Congress to protest rightwing attacks to limit women's access to birth
control, Rush Limbaugh called her a "slut" and a "prostitute."


Unfortunately, what Rush Limbaugh says matters. He has a bigger audience
than any other commercial radio host in the country, and what he talks
about on air has the power to drive the Republican agenda -- an agenda
that is already obsessed with radical backslides of womens' ability to
protect their own health.


Every American enjoys the right to free speech, but that doesn't mean
that advertisers who are accountable to their customers should pay
people like Rush Limbaugh who make such appallingly hateful and sexist
comments.


Already, seven sponsors have pulled their ads.  
Rush's other advertisers need to hear from us loud and clear -- if you
advertise on Rush Limbaugh, you are supporting his reprehensible attacks
on women.


Sign the petition to Rush's advertisers and learn more, here:

Eleven advertisers have abandoned his program to date, plus one radio station so far has dumped him. I am actively supporting this campaign, too.

Done.

Radio, like TV, depends on sponsors. He has lost, I believe, six of those as of today. It happened to Glenn Beck, and the same company canned Beck. BTW: Clear Channel, Rush's employer, is partially owned by Bain Capital, the company connected at the wallet to Mitt Romney. Small world.
