An Open Letter to Rush Limbaugh’s Delighted Sponsors

Dear ‘Delighted’ Rush Limbaugh Sponsor,

Thank you for making me aware of your apparent position on hate speech.

Your continued support of Rush Limbaugh after his brutal, demeaning, degrading and slanderous attack on private citizen, Sandra Fluke, seems to exhibit a lack of moral and ethical courage on your part.

The longer you attempt to ignore and minimize this event – the more connections I make on the internet through Facebook, Twitter, blogs, social action groups, etc..

The longer you attempt to ignore me; the more local groups I become involved with.

I am making new connections with like-minded people everyday. I am learning many new ways to become productive when engaged in the social outcry against Rush Limbaugh’s hate speech. Plus, I am teaching what I have learned to others.

While you continue to ignore the depth and breadth of this situation, I will continue to make new connections, become more active, and make new friends.

Rush Limbaugh’s hate-filled tirade will be the defining moment in his career.

Do you want Rush’s words to define the ethics of your company?

Sincerely,

A woman who does not forgive Rush Limbaugh

To Rush Limbaugh: Pretty or Not, Here We Come!

“Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.”

-Rush Limbaugh’s”Undeniable Truth” #24

Pretty or not, here we come!

Here is where one might expect to see a list of all the legislative attempts to reduce women’s access to healthcare options around the USA.  You may have hoped to have been provided with examples of the new personhood definitions being crafted which are designed to strip  away your reproductive rights. Or you may simply have hoped for some quick links to help you understand the reality of the War on Women along with some current quotes that could justify why women are rising up all over America. Were you looking for proof that women, and the men who love them, will not tolerate being humiliated and shamed and controlled, simply because of archaic beliefs?  You will not find such information here in this space. If you are not going to research and investigate these claims for yourself then you simply need others to take up the fight for you. We will humbly take action for you in the name of your innocence and out of respect for your desire to remain blissfully content.

To those of you who do not need any further proof; you know what to do:

Your Democracy is waiting !

RUSH LIMBAUGH is Ground Zero in THE WAR ON WOMEN

When did I ever give you the impression

that my rights were negotiable?

Your mouth and my soap have a date N.O.W!

Read Angie’s List canned response to those who complain about them advertisng on Rush Limbaugh:

When I heard Rush Limbaugh personally deliver an Angie’s List advertisement,  I was shocked because I couldn’t believe a highly trusted women-owned company would support misogynistic and racist speech through advertising.

I emailed Angie’s List and spoke directly with Cheryl Reed, Angie’s PR executive, to explain that I couldn’t understand how Angie’s List could willingly deny the relationship between ethics and advertising.

In both instances,  I received a canned and calculated response to my expected and anticipated consumer outrage. 

Their deliberate desire to have Rush Limbaugh personally deliver their ads is a perfect example of their newly exposed detached corporate approach of insensitivity and hubris, in my opinion.

*Please note at the end of the email their highly intentional bolding: of inclusiveness.

By implying that I am an exclusionist is Angies’s List trying to cleverly shame me for the same reasons Rush Limbaugh slut-shamed Sandra Fluke?

Dear XXXX,
 
Thanks very much for writing in to let us know your thoughts about Rush Limbaugh.
 
Our advertising strategy is to use as many venues as possible to share information about the service we provide at Angie’s List. We use this wide array of venues not to express support for any specific person, outlet or philosophy but to reach as many consumers from as many points of view as possible.
 
We place ads on all the major networks and cable outlets, as well as radio and newspapers, reaching outlets that cover the gamut of conservative to moderate to progressive to liberal. On any given day, we’ll hear negative reaction to our choices from each part of that spectrum, most of them protesting that we do not support their particular issue or that we do support another.
 
Just as we trust members to read reports and make their own decisions about which service companies to hire, we trust them to make their own choices about which outlets to watch, listen to and read. We don’t believe it’s our job to tell them which of those venues to support or monitor. That said, we have ongoing conversations about where to place our ad dollars, and we’ll certainly add your comments to that discussion.
 
Thanks, again, for reaching out, XXXX. I hope you can appreciate our strategy of inclusiveness.
 
Sincerely,
Jordan
