ProFlowers just announced on Facebook that it is dropping its advertising on Rush. DailyKos and others had been organizing a boycott of ProFlowers, which had held out until now. For full article here is the link:

Just told ProFlowers to stuff it. I’ve used them many times in the past. No more!
“I’ve been a Carbonite customer for a long time. Will be closing the account this week.”
____________________________________________
I emailed them yesterday, closing my account as of the end of my prepaid service (about 2 months from now) and I told them why.
FReepers listed many other backup services which may be better. I have time to pick a new service.
Me too.
“The leftists are going hard after LifeLock, TaxResolution, Midwest Life and Clear Channel now. We should counter this with a strong outpouring of support for Rush.”
No, I think we need to know who all these cowards are so we avoid spending any money with them. They obviously don’t care about their good long time customers who actually spend money with them
If they are this stupid I think they deserve what they are about to get when all of a sudden they lose a bunch of business.

Buy local. Find a small local shop and you will do much better!
I will overlook your comment since you obviously aren’t smart enough to know they are the same damn company.
Cowards. I’d like to see Hannity, Beck, Hedgecock, etc. drop ProFlowers.
Has Ally Bank dropped Rush yet? I doubt it. They used to be known as GMAC. They know Rush is a golden goose. They’re probably looking to get a rate cut for picking up some of the new openings.
Well excuse the **** out of me.
Bought proflowers once. They arrived unbloomed, and when they finally did bloom, they were nothing spectacular. The “free gift” was a cheapo glass vase that we threw out.
Owned and founded by OJ's defense attorney---Rush is throwing out the garbage.
Regardless, I use Proflowers 6 to 10 times a year, but no more. And I do have Carbonite on two kids in college so they don’t lose term papers etc. I’m sure there is an alternative, and as soon as I locate it.. Gone. We cannot support people who will cave to political correctness. BOYCOTT.
You make yourself look stupid...
We teamed up with our sister brand ProFlowers to bring you a gift that will really wow them. Gorgeous flowers paired with succulent hand-dipped berries, what more could they want?

What would be some of the alternatives to Life lock?
Perfect idea. EVERYONE should order Rush’s tea tomorrow. Consider it done here.
I agree. The best response to this is a phone in. Get the phone numbers. All of them. Start calling on Monday morning and spend as much time as possible flooding their phone lines with OUR voices.
Ask why they stand with Sluts!
Two can play this game.
How many phone lines could any of these companies have? Twenty, fifty, two hundred. ImAGINE IF THEY RECEIVED A THOUSAND NUESCENCE CALLS AN HOUR! How sustainable of a business model is that?
This way they know it is from someone who has ordered from them recently that won't be coming back. I used my full name and added my phone number.
