Thank you for your response. Just so you know I was highly offended that Ms Fluke was insisting that I pay for her abortions, contraceptions and whatever just so she and her associates may wallow in guilt free, consequence free promiscious sex. By your response and the actions of Vitacost I assume you support these notions as good behavior , good policy and good for society. I however do not. I have no interest in controlling what people do with their bodies and they should equally loose their interest in my wallet.
Your high horse is not so high in my opinion.
Regards

Dear -————
Thank you for contacting Vitacost.com. I want to apologize for any and all inconvenience(s). Wed like to address an issue with our radio ads— one of which aired on the Rush Limbaugh radio show. To put it frankly, Mr. Limbaugh’s recent comments have been unsettling, and many of our fans have voiced concern that Vitacost endorses these views. These comments are definitely not in line with our brand values, and in listening to our fans we’ve decided to remove our advertising from the program. Here at Vitacost.com, our goal is to take the cost out of healthy living by offering thousands of healthy products at affordable prices. To promote
this mission, we launched a national radio advertising campaign in January that airs on many different programs, including the Rush Limbaugh show. As a result of the derogatory comments Mr. Limbaugh made on his program, we decided to remove our advertising. We appreciate and support Mr.
Limbaughs right to voice his opinion, just not how he delivered his message. Our decision was in no way a statement about Mr. Limbaughs or his listeners political views, but rather his lack of respect for another human being. Vitacost.com takes healthy living very seriously, and we believe that respect for others is a huge part of that healthy lifestyle. Again, I sincerely apologize for any inconveniences.
If you need further assistance in this matter, please dont
hesitate to ask. Thank you for choosing Vitacost.com for all of your
vitamin and supplementary needs.
