Tell Republican Leaders: Denounce Rush Limbaugh's Anti-women Tirade

The Issue

"What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex -- what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute."                      -- Rush Limbaugh

We are absolutely repulsed right now.

Sandra Fluke, the courageous Georgetown Law student who had the strength to stand up in Congress against Republican attacks on birth control coverage, is now under attack from the right wing.

First, House Republicans refused to let Sandra testify. Now, they think they can shame us into silence.

We must send the strongest message possible that we will not stand for the Republican War on Women.  Standing up for women's health care does not make you a "slut" or a "prostitute." 

Sign our petition right now calling on Republican Leaders to publicly denounce Rush Limbaugh’s cruel tirade against women!
