To: John Hogan, CEO
Force Rush to Apologize
CEO and/or Board Members of Clear Channel:
We will not stand for your radio "personality" Rush Limbaugh slandering and demoralizing young law student Sandra Fluke. She was speaking passionately on behalf of millions of women who need birth control for family planning, or medical conditions. When he calls her a slut, he calls millions of American women a slut. We will not accept this behavior from anyone. He must apologize immediately! Prove that your brand stands up for women, Clear Channel, and not just profit. The only decisions to ensure you exercise Corporate Social Responsibilty are: to either demand he apologize to Miss Fluke and the women he offended, or take him off the air. Choose the correct decision in this matter, rather than the fiscally motivated one.

Why is this important?
Rush Limbaugh was wrong to paint Sandran Fluke as a "slut" on national radio, February 29, 2012. The outrage was instantaneous; bit instead of apologizing the next day, he stated that if Sandra wanted other people to pay for her birth control, she should be willing to tape her sexual interactions and post them on the internet. This is the most disgusting, vile form of sexism he could possibly publicize. We must let the CEO of Clear Channel know that this is not ok. His actions are slanderous and wrong. Rush Limbaugh needs to apologize immediately!
