Well, I think we ought to counter and NEVER buy any product from any company that pulls advertizing that infringes on Rush or any other talk show hosts freedom of speech.
This is a concerted effort to SILENCE speech and I for one will not participate in it.

I have done thousands of dollars in business with ProFlowers and their affiliated sites over the years - I use them for gifts as well as sending thank you arrangements to my clients. I just emailed them to advise that my business will cease should they decide to bow to the coordinated efforts of the minority. I realize that I am just a drop in the bathtub in terms of their business, but I will be damned if they see another cent if they pull their ads.
I just cancelled my Citrix (GoToMeeting) account and sent them this message:
Just dropped your service. If you decide you want to rethink your Rush Limbaugh decision please let me know and we will consider using your product again. I don’t think it is appropriate for you to bring politics into your business relationships. Especially when it is in support of a woman that completely misrepresented herself and her issues.
I see where Ms. Fluke is getting advice about suing Rush. She is going to find out how deep his pockets are and how a small gnat gets swished.
All this is no more than the tip Rush leaves in a barista’s tip-cup, as Ms. FlukeSlut is about to find out.
Instead of boycotting - call the company up - tell them you’d like to be on their mailing list - mention a specific product - mention your support for Rush’s tongue in cheek humor ... just a suggestion which I’ll start with Carbonite tomorrow ... Mozy has priced me out ... ;-)
