We have not heard from Rush, one way or the other, on his support for the number one enemy of sportsmen nationwide, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).
On April 14, American sportsmen were stunned to learn that Rush is supporting HSUS, and has produced ads for them opposing dog fighting and promoting a partnership between people of faith and animal activists.
At issue is not the causes discussed in the ads but the fact that he is acting as a spokesperson for the largest animal rights group in the country.
We believe that many people give to the HSUS while under the impression that they run local dog and cat shelters. However, the HSUS is not your local humane society that takes care of pets, but a well-funded national group determined to destroy your outdoor heritage.
The HSUS/Limbaugh ads have also runduring the "Rick and Bubba" show on XM radio. The family friendly "rural comic" show is very popular in the Southern U.S.This is an obvious attempt to make in-roads among conservatives.
Last week, 28 leading conservation groups signed a letter to Mr. Limbaugh explaining the real agenda of the HSUS.
This story has generated national press attention in the Los Angeles Times, Washington Times, New York Post, as well as on ESPN.
Now it"s time for Rush to hear from American hunters, fishermen, and trappers live and in person.
Longtime listeners are familiar with Rush"s "Open Line Friday" show during which he lets the callers choose the topic to be discussed. This Friday, May 1, is a great opportunity for sportsmen and sportswomen to call in and let Rush know the facts about the nation"s top animal rights group, HSUS.
Sportsmen nationwide are encouraged to call Rush and tell him how HSUS is assaulting your rights around the country by:
bankrolling efforts to ban the hunting of America"s #1 game bird, mourning doves; opposing hunting with dogs; opposing giving parents the ability to choose at what age their sons and daughters are permitted to begin hunting and much, much more.[/ul]
For more information on why Rush is wrong, Click Here. Take Action! Sportsmen should call Rush"s show at 1-800-282-2882between noon and 3pm Eastern Standard Time THIS Friday, May 1.

As is evident by reading this forum there are plenty of hunters in this country who love that baffoon Limbaugh. It will be interesting how they swallow this bit of news. Some I am sure won't like it while others will no doubt start making excuses for him like they do for any other conservative politician, personality or ideology.
people who hunt and fish I've found are not very good at taking a stand and boycotting those who are directly against their sport of hunting and fishing
What ever, much to do about nothing. I"m not going to get into my future plans but it won't make many people happy on the site but it will make me very rich.

BS hillbilly. First off, I haven't heard a single ad but from theletter it states he's not pushing those ideas listed like banning hunting morning doves, banning huntingwith dogs or banning hunting for kids. It's amazing how folks get all worked up over an internet letter. Like I said, much to do about nothing.
