http://www.change.org/petitions/sign-here-tell-40-limbaugh-sponsors-clear-channel-cumulus-we-will-not-buy-support-misogyny-racism-or-hate-speech?utm_source=supporter_message&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=petition_message_noticeA reminder of some of the things he has said.
"If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."
~Rush Limbaugh, during a three day, on air, verbal attack of then unknown law student, Sandra Fluke. He also called her a 'slut' and a 'prostitute'. She was advocating for insurance covered birth control. Video
"Now, this is Michael J. Fox. He's got Parkinson's disease. And in this commercial, he is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He is moving all around and shaking. And it's purely an act."
~Limbaugh, while also making erratic motions with his arms and hands mocking Mr. Fox.
"There is a movement on to normalize pedophilia, and I guarantee you your reaction to that is probably much the same as your reaction when you first heard about gay marriage. What has happened to gay marriage? Its become normal and in fact, with certain people in certain demographics its the most important issue in terms of who they vote for. So dont pooh-pooh. Theres a movement to normalize pedophilia.. ~ Limbaugh
"Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?"
~Limbaugh, while holding up a photograph of 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton.
"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble (African American) Jesse Jackson?" -Limbaugh
"You Know How to Stop Abortion? Require That Each One Occur With a Gun" ~Limbaugh
Hundreds of similar quotes have been documented. By signing this petition, we are sending a clear message to the networds that carry The Rush Limbaugh Show (Clear Channel/iHeart Radio and Cumulus) and we are letting Limbaugh's sponsors know that we do not want the money we use to buy products and services, to support Limbaugh in any way.
Copies of this petition and signatures are sent to the sponsors by email, with each new 500 signatures added. As well as boycotting these companies, you can also use this information to personally contact any of these companies to voice your concerns.
The sponsor list changes often. All sponosrs listed here have advertised with Rush Limbaugh wtihin the last 90 days.
