I just sent this email to "ProFlowers", hope you do the same:

To whom it may concern:

I want to address your decision to cancel your advertising with the Rush Limbaugh show.

Your decision to support the government's tyrannical move to ignore the United States Constitution by overriding the freedom Americans are guaranteed under the First Amendment - to believe and worship as they please, is - in a word - treasonous.

You have been accosted by a small group of liberal activists in their unending quest to silence America's Conservative voice - Rush Limbaugh - under the threat that they will boycott your service. In reality, these occupier types are not likely to frequent your establishment anyway, and probably buy their flowers at Kroger, or the Dollar Store...in the plastic variety.

Moreover, those who listen to Rush have been surveyed often and found to be of the middle-class, educated, and reasonably affluent. These are the type of people who are plugged into the internet, who actually have credit cards, and are the most likely customers for your products and services.

I am re-posting this email on several blogs and starting a viral email on social sites and other places to get the word out about your support of Sandra Fluke and her wanton, promiscuous, sexual behavior at taxpayers' expense. It is obvious that your support of her cause is the catalyst that prompted you to drop your advertising on the Limbaugh show, which shows that not only will Ms. Fluke to anything for money, but so will ProFlowers. This is a good indication that you might share her newfound title.

I would dare say that your products are sent by those who want to honor their wives, Mothers and girlfriends who are fine, wholesome and decent American women...guys don't usually send flowers to the likes of Ms. Fluke.

As an advertising business veteran I will close with this; you are making your decision based on the grumblings of a small majority who were of the hard-left persuasion and were already enemies of the Rush Limbaugh's conservative show, not on the millions of listeners he reaches who are in the market segment that you seek. You must have known something about Rush's audience BEFORE you bought the advertising in the first place. And because of a attention-seeking liberal plant, you cancelled all that exposure? That is a really, stupid, business decision.

I have heard your ad on Rush's show many times, for like many millions of people I am a listener. As a veteran of radio I can tell you that Limbaugh is a communications genius and you had to know he was a conservative when you signed up. People - like myself - tend to trust companies who advertise on his show, as he does not cater to the lowest common denominator like Ms. Fluke.

By the way, when a woman wants taxpayer money so she can have prolific sex, we don't need a talk show host to tell us what she is anyway.

I will do my floral shopping locally. We have many fine florists here who do not decide whether or not to sell me flowers based on my political beliefs. ProFlowers has turned out to be just more obama political hacks.

Brilliant. Especially like the fact they all knew who Rush and his audiance were before they opted in.

They opted in exactly because his listeners could afford to purchase their products. In fact, I am sure they were on a waiting list of sponsors.

I hope they recognize and pay what they have done to themselves by their actions.

The Rush Limbaugh show has made a fortune for these companies, even the very small ones just starting out. Can't remember now what the name of that drink, but Rush sold that product and the company did very well.
