A Contrast of Two People


Sandra Fluke is a courageous young woman.  An intelligent young woman with something worthwhile to say about an important issue.  Sandra Fluke is a law student at Georgetown University.  Sandra Fluke is a 1999 graduate of Tussey Mountain High School.  We can all be proud that one of our own is making a mark in the world, and in a positive way.
                
Rush Limbaugh, a deceitful sinister clown of a showman, hiding behind the garb of a “truthteller”, overwhelmingly satisfied with his own perceived power, has finally damaged himself beyond any remaining shred of decency with the despicable slanders and demeaning pronouncements he has leveled at our own Tussey Mountain Graduate.  When Rush Limbaugh was challenged about his insidious comments about this courageous young woman who had testified to congress that her friend was suffering from cancer because she couldn’t afford the contraceptive pills that would have kept her cancer in check, Rush Limbaugh, sure of his own dominance of the situation, bellowed forth that young women that need assistance to buy these contraceptive pills should have their intimacy shown on the internet for all to watch, apparently for his own perverse enjoyment.

I ask this question: Would any of us want our daughters or our friends to have to display  the personal agony of their struggle with cancer to give depraved delight to a monster like Rush Limbaugh?

I suggest that all of the good citizens of Bedford County step up to support our own young people, and from now on refuse to allow the hatred filled voice of Rush Limbaugh to permeate our airwaves.  In Bedford, WBFD 1310AM carries the Rush Limbaugh Program.  Please contact WBFD Radio Station AM 1310, Cessna Communications, 134 E Pitt Street, Bedford, PA  15522 phone number (814) 623 5131 to let them know what you think about this.

Sincerely,

  2. Embarrassment? Nah, I don't think so. Birth control pills (when used to prevent pregnancy) are for TWO people, not one. When a doctor prescribes a drug which has been approved by the FDA, a consumer should expect that their insurance company will cover the cost of the drug minus any co-pay. It shouldn't matter if the drug is for high cholesterol, depression, ADD, cancer, infections, pain, libido, or pregnancy prevention. The cost of a monthly script is far less than the cost of an unwanted kid (pre-natal care, childbirth, hospital stay, immunizations and other care up to age 26).

    I, for one, was impressed with Ms. Fluke's composure and grace after being thrust into the national spotlight.
