I just sent an email to Geico Re: Rush.

Short and sweet:

my wife and I have been a Geico customer for years for both my motorcycle and van. We have learned that your company advratizes on the Rush Limbaugh show as evidenced at this link: http://mediamatters.org/blog/201203060002
I hope this was simply an oversight, but if we learn about any future advratizing on the Rush Limbaugh show, we will find a diffrent insurance company.

4. Those may have been previous buys

That were already locked in. They may have cancelled any future placement and what's running is just stuff that was too late to cancel.

7. I understand that, and that is why I let them know that I was paying attention in leu of canceling.

8. No judgement...but....

it's ADVERTISING.

[HangOnKids]

9. And as consumers WE decide if a company supports a program we don't accept

We leave that company. Our $$$ speak loudy to companies, as is evident by the number of advertisers who no longer support Rush's show.

10. Don't let up on the pressure! Fight on the local level, too - and Armed Forces Radio:

I wanna make sure EVERYBODY sees this thread:

How to fight back at the local radio, with insights from a former radio person. As one of those, myself, I can vouch for the good ideas in it. I have personally personally witnessed how effective these strategies can be.

And here's a link to register a complaint to Armed Forces Radio:

11. Rachel just listed Geico amongst the companies that have given Limbaugh the finger,

and this was just a few minutes ago on her show.

She made a special effort to really publicize all of the ones with the courage to do this!

13. Hey Rush, look!

It's the money you could be making from GEICO.
