Now with a following of over 77,000, and a social media reach of close to one million, the folks at Boycott Rush Limbaugh's Sponsors To Shut Him Down have decided to target six major Rush Limbaugh sponsors through Valentine's Day. ALL of the sponsors listed below have supported Rush Limbaugh off and on for at least a year, even after his well-publicized remarks towards Sandra Fluke, calling her a 'slut' and a 'prostitute'. At this point, no reputable company should be supporting his hate-filled talk radio show.
The BoycottRush memes have been seen all over Facebook and Twitter this past week. The memes also promote a 'Win-Win-Win Valentine's Day' by encouraging folks to buy from small and locally-owned florists and gift shops.
Many of these sponsor Facebook pages were swamped with consumers comments over the weekend. The public is asking the sponsors to remove the ads. Some say they plan to shop with the sponsor's competitors.
Here is a list for those wishing contact the six sponsors compiled by StopRush, FlushRush, and BoycottRush. Many volunteers work nonstop in all three groups.

Here is a Change.org petition one can sign, that goes out to Clear Channel, Cumulus, and 40 random Limbaugh sponsors. Each sponsor receives a Change.org email of the updated petition, after each additional 500 signatures. When a sponsor sees over 50k signatures on a petition with their name on it, along with being contacted by hundreds/thousands of consumers, many have opted to pull ads. The smart businesses are realizing the majority of consumers do not want to buy from companies that support racism, bigotry, homophobia, and misogyny.

Thank you, Richard Myers. We will finish this. Rest in peace.
