Subject: TCFA Action Alert Regarding Rush Limbaugh

Fans of Rush Limbaugh have been shocked to learn that he has become an advocate for the Humane Society of the United States.  In fact, Rush has narrated two commercials on behalf of HSUS.

To hear the audio of Rush's commercials supporting HSUS, click here: http://www.hsus.org/press_and_publications/press_releases/rush_limbaugh_records_audio_041409.html

Rush is probably like many supporters of HSUS – well-intentioned in wanting animals to be treated with compassion but uninformed about the organization's real mission.  We hope you will send a message to Rush at: ElRushbo@eibnet.com

Please feel free to use all or part of this sample message:

Rush,

Because we share many of the same conservative beliefs, I am very saddened to learn of your support for an organization that is working hard to put all cattlemen, including me, out of business.  The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has long pursued a goal of putting an end to all animal agriculture.  

I know you believe in doing solid research.  If you really check into what HSUS is up to, you will find that – despite having $200 million in assets – HSUS does not operate a single animal shelter nor provide financial support for local humane societies or shelters.  HSUS is nothing other than a radical political organization determined to force all Americans to eat a vegan diet and forfeit the unique nutritional properties of beef.

Many well-intentioned people have been duped into donating their hard-earned dollars to HSUS because the drive-by media refuses to expose the truth about HSUS.  I hope your show will become a place where people can get the facts about this organization's real agenda.

Sincerely,
