I am a fan of Limbaugh's but I think the soldiers don't need a 24/7 subscription. I think Limbaugh would've been a real mensch if he had just endorsed a standard Adopt- A - Soldier program that provided them with the normal TLC-- food, shaving kits, etc. He didn't have to get his beak wet... I would've gladly participated in a standard program, the subscription thing is a missed opportunity that risks appearing self interested. I don't care if a bonehead from Rio Linda gave him the idea.
Well come up with your own idea and let us hear it, otherwise.
I was kinda conflicted about this until he announced that he is making his own contribution.
Remember, he is incorporated and just can't go giving stuff away willy-nilly.
I'll reserve judgement till I see what his 'super-secret' credit card says he pitched in.
I do think its good. No other way to get the show to the troops.

Doh! Sorry about the double post. Alittle quick on the mouse today.
That's what I said.
Actually, he is donating to "the cause", like he always does every time he asks people to give money. As I understand it, this whole thing was started because of Harkin trying to get him off of AFRTS, because it isn't "fair" that there's no lib voice.
do something decent for another...someone else will find a way to trash it.
knowing Rush's reputation I'm sure he's totally in this for himself..../sarc
Sorry! Replied to the wrong person.
You can always buy a second one and email the additional account number and password to a bunch of soldiers. Figure one subscription can service ten or more soldiers.
What a bunch of bs. Incorporated my rear. He is going to match our contributions. So he is giving the service peope a half priced subscription, which we pay for. believe me he will make $$ by selling lots of his subscriptions at half price. Even if he is donating some subscriptions (an unspecified number?) this is to make $$. I think he should just have said, if you listeners want to buy a serviceman a subscription, I'll only charge you half price. makes a great gift, etc. the part I didn't like is making it sound like he is opening a charitable service for the soldiers without plainly stating he is selling you something, albeit at a reduced rate.
Two days ago was my 6th anniversary!
I cannot wait until he gets this up and running so I can send someone in the military a subscription.
You don't think he has a corporation that he has to answer to? Are you drunk?
Better get your "rear" into a sub chapter s real quick.
saminfl, will you please email Rush and alert him to the potential problem.

If it makes the soldiers happy, it's a great idea.
I agree. He said he will buy some subscriptions himself, but that is like taking money out of his left pocket and putting it into his right pocket.
Subchapter S corporations are totally controlled by one person or very few people. They are essentially a pass through for income which offer the legal protection of a corporation. The owner does not have a corporation to answer to, he is teh corporation. From everything I know about Rush he is essentially Rush Limbaugh Inc. and his businesses are set up for Rush. We are not talking about the GM board of directors here.
