I think we should start emailing them, I will.

Tell them they are NOT protecting my religious rights and my right to free speech!

I used Legal Zoom once to set up a LLC. It was worth it as it just eliminated a bunch of communications hassles. I still get their periodic emails. I’ll cancel those and tell them why.

I listen to Rush daily for ages, but have never once used any of his advertisers. I was upset by Rush had said for a whole host of reasons, but behaving like the left was at the top of the list. However, he is human, has 1st amendment rights and I don’t have to agree with 100% of what he says! I think I’ll just drop a note to these advertisers and let them know how I feel.

Those are all national sponsors, none of whom I'd purchase anything from anyway. They're the guys who pay the big bucks to get their product name in front of the millions of Rush fans. There is an exception, ProFlowers. I might have used them this past valentines day to send some flowers to my ex-girlfriend but I decided she wasn't worth it.

ProFlowers is making a very big mistake and I suspect they'll rethink their boneheaded mistake after mothers day shows them with a major decline in sales from previous years.......

My major concern for Rush is the local broadcasters but there isn't really anyone they can put into Rush's timeslot that generates the listenership that he does.........

Here in S.E. Michigan, Rush was dropped from 1200 a.m. due to their format change but he was picked up by WJR before the paperwork could even hit the floor.

I wonder if any of those advertisers were able to ask those complaining if they actually LISTENED to Rush's show. Too bad Rush listeners didn't contact the companies FIRST, to bolster them, before the manufactured outrage arrived.

I haven't listened to Rush in years, because I started working and don't have access to a radio, but I know how he presents stories. Rush illustrates absurdity by being absurd, so I understood exactly what he was doing when I heard about the comments he made. But as in the Planned Parenthood kerfuffle with the Komen Foundation, I believe the left was sitting on ready for this, knowing that SOME conservative talk show would discuss this woman's testimony, and respond to it.

Only one on that list I have used is LegalZoom - excellent service, but not something you need on a regular basis.

Go Rush!

Each of these companies has competition. This is a singular opportunity for their competition to take their advertising slots - take the built up marketing awareness that the previous advertiser had accumulated, and steal their potential customers.

Nobody will remember this in a month, and by two months, the gal in question will be entertaining former celebrity pornography opportunities.

I have used a few of these. Need that list propagated far and wide in conservative circles. They can rely on the parasites for business.

Fast forward to their March 2012 sales reports, when it dawns on them that conservative Rush listeners make/spend money, while OWS “customers” aren’t actually customers... they only know how to whine about Limbaugh on Facebook from their mothers’ basements and their cubicles at liberal activist groups.
