The choice of Presiden Donald Trump to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh is a contemptuous and self-serving act that mucks and devalues such honor. Right-wing radio personality Rush Limbaugh has spent much of his career uttering out racist inducement and dividing the country. He caters to a very large partisan audience and has been instrumental in fueling the vicious toxicity that characterizes our historic moment of division. The byproduct of Mr. Limbaugh's doctrine is not only divisive but extremely dangerous to world peace, contrary to Mr. Trump's allegations, as well as detrimental to domestic peace. Limbaugh's mocking nature and actual negative and harmful slurs against the black people, Africa, the NFL, President Barack Obama, feminism, gays, AIDS, natural disasters, among many others has been unprecedented.
Should there be any real value in being awarded The Presidential Medal of Freedom in the now and in the future, we must reverse this despicable act immediately. Your decision to act on this petition and sign is an act of bravery and about doing what's right. America is a big and diverse nation, and it's people deserve better than acting on mindless revenge and appealing to the lowest common denominator. You can help right now in bringing back honor and justice from this act of Presidential mockery. Please sign the petition.
