Here's what some listeners are saying:
Throughly enjoyed Rush'a 20th anniversary show on 08/01/2008. What a thrill to hear from the President on the radio! I really can tell time-I must have started listening shortly into 1989. I remember the billboards. I had to have my Rush. His TV spots had just ended and I missed his input terribly! Thanks for keeping him on the air. Conservatives everywhere need him! God Bless!!

I began listening to Rush and your station a month after you began airing him. I was a "young skull-full-of mush". He helped me to understand and express what my heart knew was right, through his brilliant and funny exposition of what is true, through absurdity. He expanded the way that I look at life around me. Thanks Rush and thanks WORD!

I first heard Rush in the winter of 1989 on my lunch time and loved his humor and his point of view on what was going on in the country. The best part about Rush he's the leader of the of the pack and the rest are way behind in the pack!
Randy of Spartanburg
Rush helps me keep my conservative bearings! I have been listening since around 1986. I have to have my Rush everyday he is on. I count on him for the real take on current events and also what to look out for in the future. May Rush Limbaugh have 20 more years (or at least stay on until the Rapture)!God has blessed us indeed!

If you want truth, facts, rational intelligence listen to Rush. That is why Liberals hate him because their thought process is based solely on emotions, not rational intelligence or facts.

I am not fortunate enough to hear him every day since I still work full time, however, when I have the chance I take my lunch break in my car so I can catch up with the latest.He and our local word talk show hosts are about the only ones telling the truth about the government and political candidates.I hope he will be around for another 20 years.My only regret is I have only been able to hear him for a few years and just think about what I missed.

Rush Limbaugh changed my life. I began listening just about a year ago and what turned me on was the song he plays on his show: "Barack the Magic Negro". Man, I love that song! The things Rush has taught me have exeeded anything I've learned from anyone else. When I first turned Rush on, I didn't know what I believed, but now I do. Now, I can't imagine where I'd be today had it not been for "The Rush Limbaugh Show." Thanks so much Rush!

Soon they tell me my time will end, but what do they know. Should they be right I leave with the understanding that you and others will continue to protect my grandchildren from a corrupt and neglectful Washington DC. There is no one but talk radio that can rally the American people to protect and keep the constitution as our founders saw it. Without you and others putting out the truth the people would never hear and be able to evaluate all sides. Good luck and may god be with you and others.

As a kid, I can remember begging my parents to let me stay up late and watch his TV show, and listening to him on the radio while I did my schoolwork as a home-schooled high-schooler. Now, as a 28 year old stay at home mom, taking care of what I hope will be second-generation Rush babies, I tune in whenever I can to stay informed and entertained while I raise my kids and run our household. I can't imagine life without Rush!
Jennifer from Woodruff I began listening to Rush religiously after 9/11. I had listened on and off for years but was busy rearing my children and 12:00 to 3:00 did not work into my schedule. I plan my whole day around his show. I know I can download his podcast but there is something about listening live that is such a thrill (you know like running down my leg). He is my number one source of information and I pray that he is around for a long time. My 15 and 19 year old are not really interested in listening but when they want to know something politically, they always ask me because they know I get my info from Rush!!!!!!
