I have started a petition to get RUSH off the air on ESPN, designed to hit any large company where it hurts, in their profits.

There is so much one could say about this subject, but the point is obvious, sports and politics don't mix, period.

Here is a stock letter that anyone who wishes may forward to anyone that may be able to help.

Sincerely,

Boycott ESPN Due To Hiring of Rush Limbaugh

To Whom It May Concern:

As you may or may not know, ESPN has unfortunately hired Rush Limbaugh as a commentator on ESPN’s NFL Sunday Countdown. A petition has been created to help ESPN recognize the folly of this action. Initially this petition is only directed at ESPN itself, but its supporters are encouraged to boycott ESPN in all forms and any of their numerous advertisers.

Please help in removing the vile Mr. Limbaugh from ESPN’s NFL Sunday Countdown. In less than 12 hours of exposure the petition has already gained more than 750 signatures (along with becoming one of the most active petitions on PetitionOnline.com), with special thanks to Eric Alterman of MSNBC.com (http://www.msnbc.com/news/752664.asp?0dm=C11RO) for mentioning it in his regular Web Log.

If you are interested a mention on your site and a link to the petition would be greatly appreciated in addition to your signature; see the link below to find out more about the petition:

PS - Please feel free to print/display this email in its entirety or to forward it to any sites that may be useful in gaining support for its cause.

It isn't important where people sign, just that they sign up so we can defeat this blowhard and get him off ESPN!

I'll contact you privately via email.

FOLKS - Sign up both places. Heck, sign up anywhere there are boycotts, send email to ESPN. Let's get rid of Limbaugh!!!

Keep spreading the word.
