Over 450,000 other CREDO Action members have sent the message to Rush's advertisers not to fund his vile attacks on women. But we can't take our short-term victory for granted. National advertisers Fujitsu, Lifelock, and Lear Financial are still supporting the show. And some of the advertisers who merely "suspended" their ads may return once the controversy dies down. Help us get to 500,000 activists calling on advertiserslike Fujitsu, Lifelock and Lear Financial to pull their support from Rush Limbaugh. Click here to automatically sign thepetition. Over 140 companies1 have pulled their advertising dollars from the Rush Limbaugh show. In fact the national advertising exodus has been so devastating, that Rush Limbaugh has had to resort to filling his advertising slots with free public service announcements and even minutes of dead air at some points. And Premiere Networks, the subsidiary of Clear Channel that distributes the show, told local affiliates it was pausing national ads for two weeks, though they were free to air ads from two companies remaining loyal to Rush Limbaugh: Lifelock and Lear Financial.2 Help us get to 500,000 activists calling on advertiserslike Fujitsu, Lifelock and Lear Financial to pull their support from Rush Limbaugh.

Rush Limbaugh is clearly feeling the pressure of our activism, and the emails we have received from major companies like Geico and Netflix after receiving petitions with your signature show that your activism truly does work. Both companies have instructed their advertising companies to ensure that their ads do not air on the Rush Limbaugh Show in the future. But the campaign is far from over. If we can't keep up the pressure on his advertisers, Rush Limbaugh will bounce back. He has been the top commercial radio host in the country since 1991. The best way to hold Limbaugh accountable for his extreme, inappropriate, and offensive comments is to ensure that all of the remaining advertisers on his show stop supporting his attacks on women. Not just now but permanently. Help us get to 500,000 activists calling onadvertisers like Fujitsu, Lifelock and Lear Financial to pull their support from Rush Limbaugh. Click here to automaticallysign the petition. In the fight against the Susan G. Komen Foundation we proved that when women and the men who support them fight back against those who would restrict women's access to healthcare, we can win. Because of your pressure there was dead air on Rush Limbaugh's Show this week where normally there would have been an advertisement. The momentum is on our side, but we need to keep the pressure on and ensure that the remaining advertisers drop their support of his show and advertisers that already withdrew their support don't return once the media focus subsides. When CREDO sends a national retailer a petition with over 450,000 signatures on it asking that they stop supporting attacks on women, we get their attention. Help us get to 500,000 and we'll send your signature to the remaining national advertisers, to local advertisers who continue to support the program and to national advertisers who have only suspended their spots.

When Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke dared to testify that birth control is essential to women's health, Rush Limbaugh spent three days calling her a slut and demanding she mnake sex videos for his amusement.
Pro-choice Democratic women in Congress like Gwendolyn Moore and Jackie Speier quickly stood up to Limbaugh and urged his advertisers to cancel their ads. Thousands of progressive activists joined the fight and 140 key advertisers have now canceled. Without ad revenues, local stations are cancelling his show altogether.
These huge victories demonstrate the power of electing fearless women leaders to Congress. So let's stand with EMILY's List to elect even more pro-choice Democratic women Senators and Representatives.
Thanks for all you do!

FROM EMILY'S LIST

Sandra Fluke is the Georgetown Law student who was denied the right to testify in front of the sham, no-women-allowed hearing that Republicans held on access to birth control. When Democrats gave her the chance to testify, she was a very brave, intelligent, and articulate advocate for women. Rush Limbaugh, in response, launched a ruthless and completely disgusting attack. He said that she wanted to be "paid to have sex." Then this: "What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? Makes her a prostitute." And then he said that he wants her to post videos of her having sex online so that he can watch. Attacking women is nothing new for Rush Limbaugh (or Republicans), but this time he has gone too far. Keeping women out of decisions about critical health policy is unacceptable, but assaulting them for standing up for the health care they deserve is truly outrageous. We can't let the Republican crusade against women's rights and access to essential health care continue. Please support the work of EMILY's List to elect pro-choice Democratic women who will stand up to rightwing extremists like Rush Limbaugh! Stephanie Schriock President, EMILY’s List
