Remove Rush Limbaugh from your network

The Issue

Tax dollars are used to fund and support the programming on the Armed Forces Network. Rush Limbaugh has regularly used his radio program to demean the President, members of congress, and anyone that doesn't agree with his narrow worldview. Recently though his attacks have taken a sharp and drastic turn when he called a woman who spoke about her friend losing an ovary due to lack of access to birth control a "slut." In Rush's mind, women who use birth control are "sluts" that want the government to pay for them to have intercourse. So, that must also apply to the millions of dedicated women in the United States military that use birth control while they are defending our nation. Rush Limbaugh's programming should immediately be removed from the Armed Forces Network.
