Rush LImbaugh and others like him should be stopped by the FCC

They are on Public airwaves. There are rules.
Our Government cares so little about women that the FCC doesn't pull the plug on Limbaugh's show.

Where is the FCC ? Rush's words are more than insulting they are violent. If you listen to his rant on both days he demonize women and tells the public that women who are using contraceptives should be put on a stage as we watch them when they have sex.
And his rants of Feminazis make it ok for men to be violent against women.
Limbaugh is on Public Airwaves . The population of women in the US is over 50%. We don't have to put up with this assault.

Call or email the FCC and call the radio stations he is on and DEMAND them to end his show. We will not put up with his continued assault and violence of women.
He is also on the Armed Forces Radio and there is an epidemic of rape of female troops. One out of 3 female troops are raped by US soldiers.. and Limbaugh makes these abusive comments. Demand that Armed Forces Radio end Limbaugh

Using their free market against them seems to be working just fine. No ad money, no Limba show.

Keep the pressure on his sponsors.

Don't look for any help from that direction.

I agree with TroglodyteScholar...keep pressure on the sponsors. It worked on Glenn Beck!

If it's not making money, they'll bail.

That's three to four registered letters per complaint.. Calls and emails are nowhere near as effective as an official written complaint for which you have a signed form verifying delivery.

Mention in the letter that it must be put in the station's FCC mandated public file..

Be polite but firm..
