The story so far:
Recently Rush Limbaugh said that if Healthcare Reform passed, he would go to Costa Rica. Then, Healthcare Reform passed. We made this website to raise money for his plane ticket, and we'd even gotten enough for 6 months in a Costa Rican Cottage, and 2 weeks of Spanish lessons, when Rush said he would never "fly commercial."
Guess we have to charter a jet.
1. We're accepting 1 dollar PayPal donations to get Rush to Costa Rica. We are currently accepting donations.
2. At the end of the donation period*, we will attempt to personally contact Rush, and offer to pay for his airfare from Palm Beach International Airport to San Jose International Airport, Costa Rica.
3. If Rush does get cold feet**, and refuses to move to Costa Rica, we will instead donate all of the money to the Planned Parenthood Action Center.
4. Additionally, if we make more than enough money, or not enough money, everything will still go to Planned Parenthood.
*Donation period will run until April 30th, 2010. That's like, more than 4 weeks notice for the guy.
**We know Rush has publicized that he never said he would move to Costa Rica. However, we still think it's a good idea.
We raised $3,032 for getting Rush to Costa Rica.

What if you want to donate more than $1?
You can email us to arrange that; FYI we'd love to talk, but a response might take a little while. Don't give up hope!
Where's the "Share This On Facebook" button?
Are we affiliated with Planned Parenthood?
No.
How do you know we won't just buy a plane ticket for ourselves?
Well...we can't give you anything other than our word. But if you'd rather donate direct to Planned Parenthood, you should.
Are we really going to contact Rush?
Absolutely. We'll video-tape and post the results here. We promise.
Who are we?
We are Mike and Patrick. We are two dudes living in Brooklyn. We don't have health insurance.
How many words did Rush spend calling this project dumb on his show?
724.
