I also want him off of the Armed Forces Radio Network.
NOW!

So, we need to get the attention of Congress too, so those Congressmen and Congresswomen can place more pressure on the Secretary of Defense to get Rush off of being broadcast on that network.

Rush was not broadcast on the AFRN until Rumsfeld put him on there.
Well, Rumsfeld is gone.
So, now we need to implement change in that radio network.

I asked people 3 years ago to help get rid of Rush right after President Obama was sworn into office, but no one seemed to think it was necessary.
It is.

Rush is extremely unpopular amongst the troops now. Especially overseas. His ratings have fallen and he is yesterday's news, much like Bush, Rumsfeld, et al.
