Well, at least one advertiser is still there — THE NEWT GINGRICH CAMPAIGN.
I will be cancelling my subscription to Netflix immediately.
A lot of these are local ads, not national
Is it just me, or are more than a few of these companies in a mess? Sears is going down the tubes, Sleep Number has closed outlets in my area, and the rest seem to be seasonal companies that got wide advertising around Mother’s day or tax season. The only company on this list that I see that I was faintly interested in was Sleep Number and I just bought a Tempurpedic instead.
Big whoop...
Here's the list of advertisers who bailed on Rush, and are supporting a blacklist AGAINST Rush, our freedom of speech and We the People
Get their contact info: names and addresses, email, phone numbers, etc. Then post them on FreeRepublic. And then make your calls, send your emails, post on their web sites., Facebook.
These leftists are trying to kill us...remember that, and start fighting with all you've got. We've got work to do...and remember Andrew Breitbart. He was a WARRIOR, and he took no leftist crap. Pick up the banner and let's roll.
Ridiculous to mix local and national ads in a list like that. As though I’ll be going to “Bethesda Dentistry” any time soon (2,700 miles away).
And I guess St. Vincent's didn't get the Bishop's memo.
