OPEN  LETTER  (CONT)

hate-France Web sites and puts you and your boycott on the airwaves, has live entertainment venues in France, and recently won a 12-year, $35 million advertising contract in France. The company owns French subsidiaries (www.clearchannel.ie/ccworldwide.htm) that, in turn, do business with French performers, distributors and sponsors. In fact, Clear Channel does enough French business yearly to buy almost any of the small towns over which your program broadcasts.

Clear Channel also owns six radio stations in Richmond, Va., including WRVA-AM (1140), home of host Michael Graham -- yes, the same Michael Graham who vilified the Byrd Theatre for flying the French flag during VCU's French Film Festival and encouraged Richmonders to complain. ("Now, the two largest flags flying in Carytown are both French!") Now might be a good time to call Graham and remind him that his employer does more business in France than the theater does.

Mr. Limbaugh, I have a promise for you: If you will demand through your outlets that the public boycott Clear Channel, I shall willingly give credit where credit is due. I will fully and fairly disclose, if someone tells me about it, that you went beyond your immediate self-interest, to take a position on grounds of conscience. I shall even join with you in calling for the boycott.

Best of luck to you in every good thing.

Sincerely,
Margie Burns
