Uh oh! How the mighty fall.
Limbaugh Is Losing! With Each Hateful Word, More Sponsors Leave. (300 Left Last Month) Total: 2,500+
“We wanted to know who her owner was, and we wanted to know how much he got for her.... She might have outlived her usefulness on the plantation,” Limbaugh declared. “I mean, [you] never know, child-rearing years are over so maybe her value had plummeted.” ~Limbaugh, February 14, 2013 in reference to Shelia Jackson Lee
Thousands of consumers are contacting Limbaugh sponsors via StopRush.net and signing petitions like the one below. Organizations like Daily Kos, UniteWomen.org, Planned Parenthood, Media Matters and other groups, are exposing Limbaugh for who and what he is: a racist, sexist, gay-hating, lying bigot. This is not me, 'name-calling'. This is truth in media, and backed up by Limbaugh's very own words in audio/video.
The good news? In one month, over 300 more sponsors have pulled ads, now totaling over 2,500. (This does not count the 800 or so who have 'left quietly') Limbaugh now averages a loss of 10 sponsors per day. To make up for these sponsorship losses, it is known he has been subsidized by outside sources including FreedomWorks, (backed by the TeaParty). And I'm betting he is having to subsidize himself, to stay on the air.
What's it going to take? We need more sponsor contact, we need a public outcry, and we need help from the FCC for regulations broken.
Some cry out, "Freedom of Speech!" and I say, "Yes! Freedom of Speech!!!" We ALL know The First Amendment was not created for a hate monger like Limbaugh to be guaranteed his own radio show on our public airways, to stage and promote racism and misogyny while making millions.
So we continue to work on this, one brick at a time. Here are 10 sponsoring universities. Take a moment to tweet, fb message, or email a couple of sentences to them. Or you can sign this petition that goes out to 40 sponsors at a time. http://www.change.org/petitions/sign-here-tell-limbaugh-sponsors-we-will-not-buy-products-that-support-misogyny-racism-and-hate-speech?utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=url_share&utm_campaign=url_share_after_sign It feels pretty good, because it's something we can actually do. Regardless of how long it takes for Limbaugh, with each contact, we are telling companies, universities, media and people around the world, we will no longer sit back. Enough.
