This is the text of the letter I sent to AFN asking them to withdraw support for
Rush. I have also signed the petition in whitehouse.gov and asked my daughter to
call all her friends to sign the petition.

I urge you strongly to stop carrying Rush Limbaugh in AFN.
Most people who object to Rush Limbaugh focus on his crass and coarse language. Such language is not new to the Armed forces and some legendary generals and admirals are known for their salty language.
My problem is not his language or word choice. It is his continual misrepresentations and lies he said in his program. He said, "She [Sandra Fluke] in her own words admitted to having so much sex that she could not afford birth control". Repeatedly. Many times over in so many different variations. Such character assassination by lying is totally unacceptable. I very strongly object to my tax dollars funding this liar.
I am very sure all the Republican legislators who pontificate that "Churches should not be forced to pay for things they morally object to" would readily agree that my tax dollars should not fund this "bearing false witness". I am morally opposed to funding lies using my tax dollars.
