I just got an email from Pro Flowers and hit the unsubcribe link. They are gutless. Let them get the Libs support.

Good thread! Nothing like being active in defense of our liberties. I don’t have anything to unsubscribe but I enjoyed seeing others here doing it.

“Is proflowers affiliated with 1-800 flowers? I have never used proflowers that I can recall, but have used 1-800 flowers fairly often.

No, I think they are competitors.

I did the same this morning and got this as part of their reply:

At ProFlowers, our mission is to delight our customers with fresh and long lasting flowers, and that is our singular focus each and every day. We do not base our advertising decisions to align with any particular political view or opinion as our employees and customers are as diverse as the USA. Mr. Limbaugh?s recent comments went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company. As such, ProFlowers has suspended advertising on The Rush Limbaugh radio program.

I read further down the Freep page and found out lots of advertisers canceled Rush, so I canceled ProFlowers
here is what I said:

I no longer wish to do business with your company.

When a woman testifies in front of Congress that she has so much sex and needs the taxpayers to pay for her contraceptives (after we pay for her schooling too) then she has called herself a slut. ***
Rush Limbaugh just told the truth.

I started using Proflowers BECAUSE of Rush, you cancel with Rush over this and you lose me too.

Goodbye
my email
*** (OK she didn’t talk about herself but taxpayers don’t need to pay for anyone’s pills or condoms)

“Suspended”.....they’ll be back when the heat dies down. A little known fact outside of the Sales department at a radio station is that a show like Rush’s being syndicated must buy a certain amount of Ad Time. Most of this time is NOT during Rush’s show. This also gives the sponsors a degree of separation from the show.

ProFlowers said, “We do not base our advertising decisions to align with any particular political view.” But, by suspending their advertising on Rush Limbaugh, that's exactly what they are doing.

Just unsubscribed from Pro Flowers. I wonder if that also unsubscribes me from Sherries Berries and the other related sites?

In this day and age, you can get it in two seconds.

I just tried to get them as little promotion as possible.

I hope you were able to tell them why.

If you are anyone else is using Carbonite, drop them and tell them why.

There are a lot of other options. I like Crashplan.com It is free if you are backing up to your own computers or friend or work, and it is more reasonable than Mozy or Carbonite if you want to use their cloud.

It is cool and easy to use. My manager at my new job site put me onto it.

With Rush, we are seeing that Boycotting does work. He, Hannity, and others always say it doesn’t work, but in reality, they have always feared it and lie to us about the effectiveness because they don’t want it turned on themselves.

I love Rush, Hannity, Levin and others, but if they ever tell me a boycott won’t work, I won’t believe them.

I have been boycotting General Motors, General Electric, MSNBC, Disney, and a lot of Hollywood actors for a while. Why give my hard earned money to people who are destructive to my way of life?

I saw about 6 or 7 playing around in my yard the other day and stopped and watched them. Beautiful. I also watched a bunch of young Cardinals, yesterday. :-)
