Ms. Sinkingfeeling, As a service of the Department of Defense, AFN does not advertise on Mr
Limbaugh's program, offer products for sale, or sponsor any of the programs
we relay to our audience.

The American Forces Network does not censor content and we do not seek to
protect our overseas Department of Defense audience from hearing views with
which they may disagree. Our mission is to offer program choices, which
includes both the one-hour versions and three-hour version of various
popular political talk shows.

To review all of our radio services/schedules, please visit www.myafn.net.

Thanks for your support of our troops and for your interest in AFN.

Sincerely,
Bcb

Dear Sirs:

I concur with VoteVets in demanding you stop playing Rush Limbaugh over the airwaves. I resent my tax dollars paying for the spewings of a misogynist to the female troops. How much is it to ask you defend these women in uniform against being referred to as 'sluts' and 'prostitutes'?
