--Amberen
--Lear Capital
--Carbonite
--Goodwill
--Polycom Federal*
--Winning Our Future (super-pac)
--IncomeAtHome.com
--Stamps.com
--Geico
--Exergen
--Capital One
--Vitacost
--John Deere
--FixItFast.ServiceMagic.com
--Nova Armament
--Sensa
--HotProps
--Network Capital
--Insperity
--Department of Veterans Affairs
--Netflix
--RightSize
--United HealthCare
--Ackerman
--RealGoldCoins.com.
--Merit Financial
--Robert Steinberg (a lawyer seeking mesothelioma patients).
--Hillsdale College

*Polycom Federal responds:

Polycom does some syndicated radio advertising, including spots on WMAL, however we had no intention to run ads on the Rush Limbaugh Show. The recent comments by Mr. Limbaugh go against our core values, and we have taken action to discontinue advertising on this program.
