STAND UP for what is right..and what is just wrong.

Yes

I have something to say

BUT

I am NOT the only one!

Here me

and

STAND UP

pick up your phones

get your keyboards ready to type

and

to

Let YOUR voices

be heard.

Together we are

stronger than the mighty oak

and

If you are not OUTRAGED

YOU

are not paying attention!

STOMP

I am "outraged"

and
I hope you will not be swayed by the latest
statements of Rush
with a "sorry" at the end.
A thinly valed "apology"
 if you call it that
from Limbaugh.
Entertainment?
Humor?
REALLY....
"I did not mean a personal attack" he now says... "In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation."

Limbaugh mocked President Obama on Friday, after the president called the young woman to thank her for testifying before Congress on the issue. Once again his disrespect valed under that of an entertainer is reprehensible.

Be interesting to see what he is capable
of, if he did mean one.
Remember Maya Angelou,
"when people show you who they are
believe them".
And once again Rush L has shown himself
but
this time
he's gone too far.
As he now scrambles to refuel his wallet,
and
makes a half baked attempt at
righting his wrong.
He can not unring the bell/
It has been rung/
Many are telling it like it is
when
saying he is a total and complete
misogynistic snakes belly.
You can call him an entertainer,
I will not, he has never entertained me.
You can say that is what people on the radio do,
but
it is not what they do.
You can say it is a result of his admitted
drug stents,
but
that does not excuse him.
He probably hoped for more listeners,
better ratings,
but
He has shown the world
his hatred of women.
He can now say how ridiculous this all is
to have people upset
when there are bigger fish to fry,
economy going south
gas goin up
elections and those who want the
white house.
I will say,
KEEP IT REAL here
there is Nothing he can say to me.

In more ways than I can count

absolutely

disgusted that one "man"

is still allowed to spew hatred, insanity, along with his perverted self righteous hatred of women

across air waves.

Yes

I am talking about

rush lim****

and

he has

finally taken his revolting snake belly

beneath the guise of humaness.

It is time

for him to go away,

far far away.

><

IF and I say "IF" he ever had a mother

(which I have my doubts)

she is surely hanging her head.
Perhaps he can be the next
POSTER BOY
for contraceptives and condom use.
His mother

would be a grand poster parent

for

birth control now.

This ...
well what do you call someone who so carefully,
willfully
spews such outright hatred and his own warped sense of reality in and on a radio show about a young woman

and

in the process self admits that his disdain

for women is

only topped by his desire to

"watch them have sex"?

><

A very bright young woman

named

Sandra Fluke

found and used her voice elequently

in front of

members of Congress, a comittee,
and testified at a hearing on

womens health.
We are now seeing some of the most repulsive and hateful spewings since I cannot remember when; name calling of a young woman, assuming the worst, making up the rest.
Men and some women confusing politics
with
womens' health and their own dignity
and
right to be heard.
Some are wanting to compare Palin and Maher and such to this act of behavior.
It has nothing to do with Palin, it has nothing to do with Maher.
Let's be clear,
it has everything to do with an assault
made on air,
a medium supported by people and organizations that make money, *your money*
on Rush
and
his outrageous remarks.

She stood calmly, respectfully

and explained how affordable coverage

of contraceptive coverage for women would benefit not only her

but millions.

She is a brave woman, attending a Jesuit University, a woman with a bright future.

I am certain her parents are filled with pride.

This is what she said to the members of

Congress: taken from ABCgo.com

Sandra Flucke:

Leader Pelosi, Members of Congress, good morning, and thank you for calling this hearing on women’s health and allowing me to testify on behalf of the women who will benefit from the Affordable Care Act contraceptive coverage regulation. My name is Sandra Fluke, and I’m a third year student at Georgetown Law, a Jesuit

school. I’m also a past president of Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice or LSRJ. I’d like to acknowledge my fellow LSRJ members and allies and all of the student activists with us and thank them for being here today.

Georgetown LSRJ is here today because we’re so grateful that this regulation implements the nonpartisan, medical advice of the Institute of Medicine. I attend a Jesuit law school that does not provide contraception coverage in its student health plan. Just as we students have faced financial, emotional, and medical burdens as a result, employees at religiously affiliated hospitals and universities across the country have suffered similar burdens. We are all grateful for the new regulation that will meet the critical health care needs of so many women. Simultaneously, the recently announced adjustment addresses any potential conflict with the religious identity of Catholic and Jesuit institutions. When I look around my campus, I see the faces of the women affected, and I have

heard more and more of their stories. . On a daily basis, I hear from yet another woman from Georgetown or other schools or who works for a religiously affiliated employer who has suffered financial, emotional, and medical burdens because of this lack of contraceptive coverage. And so, I am here to share their

voices and I thank you for allowing them to be heard. Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary. Forty percent of female students at Georgetown Law report struggling financially as a result of this policy. One told us of how embarrassed and powerless she felt when she was standing at the

pharmacy counter, learning for the first time that contraception wasn’t covered, and had to walk away because she couldn’t afford it. Women like her have no choice but to go without contraception. Just last week, a married female student told me she had to stop using contraception because she couldn’t afford it any

longer. Women employed in low wage jobs without contraceptive coverage face the same choice. You might respond that contraception is accessible in lots of other ways. Unfortunately, that’s not true. Women’s health clinics provide vital medical services, but as the Guttmacher Institute has documented, clinics are unable to

meet the crushing demand for these services. Clinics are closing and women are being forced to go without. How can Congress consider the Fortenberry, Rubio, and Blunt legislation that would allow even more employers and stitutions to refuse contraceptive coverage and then respond that the non-profit clinics should step up to take care of the resulting medical crisis, particularly when so many legislators are attempting to defund those very same clinics?

These denials of contraceptive coverage impact real people. In the worst cases, women who need this medication for other medical reasons suffer dire consequences. A friend of mine, for example, has polycystic ovarian syndrome

and has to take prescription birth control to stop cysts from growing on her ovaries. Her prescription is technically covered by Georgetown insurance because it’s not

intended to prevent pregnancy. Under many religious institutions’ insurance plans, it wouldn’t be, and under Senator Blunt’s amendment, Senator Rubio’s bill, or Representative Fortenberry’s bill, there’s no requirement that an exception be made for such medical needs. When they do exist, these exceptions don’t accomplish their well-intended goals because when you let university administrators or other employers, rather than women and their doctors, dictate whose medical needs are legitimate and whose aren’t, a woman’s health takes a back seat to a bureaucracy focused on policing her body. In sixty-five percent of cases, our female students were interrogated by insurance representatives and university medical staff about why they needed these prescriptions and whether they were lying about their symptoms. For my friend,

and 20% of women in her situation, she never got the insurance company to cover her prescription, despite verification of her illness from her doctor. Her claim was denied repeatedly on the assumption that she really wanted the birth control to prevent pregnancy. She’s gay, so clearly polycystic ovarian syndrome was a much more urgent concern than accidental pregnancy. After months of paying over $100 out of pocket, she just couldn’t afford her medication anymore and had to stop

taking it. I learned about all of this when I walked out of a test and got a message from her that in the middle of her final exam period she’d been in the emergency room all night in excruciating pain. She wrote, “It was so painful, I woke up thinking I’d been shot.” Without her taking the birth control, a massive cyst the

size of a tennis ball had grown on her ovary. She had to have surgery to remove her entire ovary. On the morning I was originally scheduled to give this testimony, she sat in a doctor’s office. Since last year’s surgery, she’s been  experiencing night sweats, weight gain, and other symptoms of early menopause as a result of the removal of her ovary. She’s 32 years old. As she put it: “If my body indeed does

enter early menopause, no fertility specialist in the world will be able to help me have my own children. I will have no chance at giving my mother her desperately desired grandbabies, simply because the insurance policy that I paid for totally unsubsidized by my school wouldn’t cover my prescription for birth control when I

needed it.” Now, in addition to potentially facing the health complications that come with having menopause at an early age-- increased risk of cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis, she may never be able to conceive a child. Perhaps you think my friend’s tragic story is rare. It’s not. One woman told us doctors believe she has endometriosis, but it can’t be proven without surgery, so the insurance hasn’t been willing to cover her medication. Recently, another friend

of mine told me that she also has polycystic ovarian syndrome. She’s struggling to

pay for her medication and is terrified to not have access to it. Due to the barriers

erected by Georgetown’s policy, she hasn’t been reimbursed for her medication since last August. I sincerely pray that we don’t have to wait until she loses an ovary or is diagnosed with cancer before her needs and the needs of all of these women are taken seriously.

This is the message that not requiring coverage of contraception sends. A woman’s reproductive healthcare isn’t a necessity, isn’t a priority. One student told us that she knew birth control wasn’t covered, and she assumed that’s how

Georgetown’s insurance handled all of women’s sexual healthcare, so when she was raped, she didn’t go to the doctor even to be examined or tested for sexually transmitted infections because she thought insurance wasn’t going to cover something like that, something that was related to a woman’s reproductive health.

As one student put it, “this policy communicates to female students that our school doesn’t understand our needs.” These are not feelings that male fellow students experience. And they’re not burdens that male students must shoulder. In the media lately, conservative Catholic organizations have been asking: what

did we expect when we enrolled at a Catholic school? We can only answer that we expected women to be treated equally, to not have our school create untenable burdens that impede our academic success. We expected that our schools would live up to the Jesuit creed of cura personalis, to care for the whole person, by

meeting all of our medical needs. We expected that when we told our universities of the problems this policy created for students, they would help us. We expected that when 94% of students opposed the policy, the university would respect our choices regarding insurance students pay for completely unsubsidized by the

university. We did not expect that women would be told in the national media that if we wanted comprehensive insurance that met our needs, not just those of men, we should have gone to school elsewhere, even if that meant a less prestigious university. We refuse to pick between a quality education and our health, and we resent that, in  the 21st

 century, anyone thinks it’s acceptable to ask us to make this

choice simply because we are women.

Many of the women whose stories I’ve shared are Catholic women, so ours is not a

war against the church. It is a struggle for access to the healthcare we need. The

President of the Association of Jesuit Colleges has shared that Jesuit colleges and

universities appreciate the modification to the rule announced last week. Religious

concerns are addressed and women get the healthcare they need. That is something

we can all agree on. Thank you.

This woman stood UP

and she spoke for all women.

And

then, someone who calls himself human

went on air,

and was twisted, sick, humorless, and hatefilled

about her, to her,

and

shared his view of
Ms. Fluke
and

ALL WOMEN.

He called her a "slut"

and
a prostitute.
He alleged that this young woman was having so much sex she cannot pay for contraceptives.
HE IS AN IDIOT.
Limp Rush said: "if we're going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."

LIMBAUGH: "This woman comes forth with this frankly hilarious claim that she’s having so much sex, and her buddies with her, that she can’t afford it. And not one person says, did you ever think about maybe backing off the amount of sex that you have?"

Did you read that anywhere in that transcript?
And he is relentless

in his on air

attacks against a 3rd year law student

who has the support

of
so many,
inlcuding

the President of

Georgetown University

the support of

her parents, family, friends,

and

people across the world.

Of course that is with exception of the

nutcakes who watch, follow, listen, and like him.

Rush lives in his own fantasy probably fueled and fed by oxycontin

and

his slew of sexual fantasies

with what or whom I cannot even fathom.

Yet

insurance will pay for

VIAGRA

and

not for contraceptives?

This maniac iswill continue his unrelenting and vicious attacks on

Ms Fluke and all women.

and has yet to have an understanding of

birth control pills,

womens rights and choices

and

healthcare needs of women.
He may have Viagra and birth control pills confused as he implies that the number of pills you take are dependent upon how much you are engaging in sex.

He thrives and exists at the expense of others

and

it is past time it is stopped.

Whatever rock you crawled out from under

it is long overdue

that you return to it rush.
I have never listened to this man
spew his hatred, bigotry, egotism, and inflated sense of self in his well-known money influenced drug induced states.

As those who do NOT listen,

we can affect change

in many ways.

Here are the ways,

and

in closing let me just say this:

Thank YOU Ms. Fluke for your grace, your poise, your ability to stand UP

and thank your parents

for the wonderful job they did

in raising a young woman

to be of strength.

...

women

Stand UP

Men, this could be Your daughter, your Mother, your sister...

STAND UP

and let

YOUR voice take action.

This has nothing to do with party lines

with how one votes

with conservatives or liberals

or

middle of the roads

or

I don't cares.
It has nothing to do with your tax dollars
your rights as a citizen.
It has everything to do
with
Rush and his disdain
his outright ignorance
and
the need to stand.

THIS HAS TO DO WITH WHAT IS RIGHT

AND

PEOPLE WHO TAKE THE

1ST AMMENDMENT TOO DAMN FAR.

Clearchannel shame on YOU.
Those who advertise on this radio show, sponsors,
I will not do business with you,
the Sears Card has been destroyed
and
the list is goin down.
Just cancelled the sleep number bed that was ordered.
Pro flowers? Nope, off the list too.
