Last week, I asked if you had a message you'd like to send Rush Limbaugh. The response was overwhelming. We received tens of thousands of submissions, and we picked the top five:
* "Americans didn't vote for a Rush to failure"
* "Hope and change cannot be Rush'd"
* "Failure is not an option for America's future"
* "We can fix America, just don't Rush it"
* "Rush: Say yes to America"
Now, we're putting it up for a vote. Decide which slogan Rush will see in his home town.
The slogan with the most votes will be put on a billboard where Rush can't miss it.
It's up to you to let Rush know that Americans reject his desire to see President Obama -- and our country -- fail.
Vote for your favorite slogan now:

------Original Message------ From: Jen O'Malley Dillon, Democrats.org Subject: Your billboard for Rush
Submit your slogan I'm Jen O'Malley Dillon, the new Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee.
If you're anything like me, then you've had the urge to talk back to a right-wing talk radio host more than a few times. Now you can.
Rush Limbaugh has made waves lately about his desire to see President Obama fail. And he's unapologetic, even though Americans voted in November for the very kind of change the President is bringing to Washington. As even Limbaugh must know, if the President fails, America fails.
Incredibly, Republican leaders have yet to condemn Limbaugh for his destructive comments. In fact, Republicans like Congressman Eric Cantor, a leader in the House, have adopted the Limbaugh strategy, telling the Washington Post recently that their strategy on the President's jobs plan was "just saying no."
The only Republican leader to challenge Limbaugh -- the chairman of the Republican National Committee -- even called Rush to apologize just a few days later.
But we have no apologies for Rush, just a message. We need you to come up with a slogan, in ten words or less, that we'll put on a billboard where he can't miss it -- in his hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida.
Can you help us come up with a message for Rush that we'll place on a billboard right in his hometown?
We'll go through all the slogans we get, and the winner will have his or her message appear on the billboard -- and receive a free T-shirt featuring the winning slogan.
If Republican leaders aren't willing to tell Rush, then we will. Americans want President Obama to succeed. Our country's future depends on it. Rooting for the President's failure is rooting for our country to fail.
To get America back on a path to prosperity, we'll need to leave behind the failed partisan attack politics of the past. Americans voted for a new direction in November. Choosing Rush Limbaugh to be the voice of their party -- as Republican leaders have done -- is not the answer.
Send in your suggestion of ten words or less for a billboard and we'll choose the best one to put in Rush's own "backyard":

How about Obama's own words....If they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby....
I’m deeply saddened; my suggestion was not on the list. :(
Unfortunately, they did.
“Rush: Say yes to America””
This one sounds like they are QUOTING Rush, and while it is a paraphrase, it is more accurate than their Stalinist lie that Rush said he wants America to fail.
They must not need much money if this is all they have to do with it.
Putting up a competing billboard is a great idea! How do we get it done?
Rush’s stations need only put up one slogan to counter this campaign:
“For 8 long years Democrats have shouted that ‘Dissent Is Patriotic’. What’s CHANGEd? Stand firm against the Unfairness Doctrine”
Has anyone gone on their site http://www.democrats.org/rushbillboard
to see what they are talking about, and counter them?
Then someone can change it in the dead of nite (you know how democrats do things), change it to
“Rush Says yes to America”
Then someone can change it in the dead of nite (you know how democrats do things), change it to
“Rush Says yes to America”
If they do choose that one, a billboard next to that one saying "Rush did say Yes to America, NO to Overtaxing and Socialism"
“We’re spending millions of your tax dollars on this!”
“There is an economic crash coming and we’re pissed about Rush!”
We need a whole series of billboards. Remember those “God” billboards. They were great.
Or perhaps on a billboard just past the Soros/Alinsky one.Americans didn't vote for a Rush to failure" – Reid, Pelosi, Frank and Obama Did
"Hope and change cannot be Rush'd" – Ditto, Stop Doing That
"Failure is not an option for America's future" – Reid, Pelosi, Frank, Obama, so back off!
"We can fix America, just don't Rush it" – Congress and Obama: Fix it, Stop the Cramdown
"Rush: Say yes to America" – He Did, Obama/Congress Didn't!
My God - we’re dealing with a bunch of 14 year-olds.
The post following yours (#35) would be excellent followups for the series.
Meow!! I live in Lake Worth. Let them put up a billboard in West Palm!!
Cool!
Meow??
