Reid's Limbaugh Letter Sells for $2,100,100

LOS ANGELES -- Last week, Rush Limbaugh announced the eBay auction of Senator Harry Reid's letter that was signed by 41 Democrat Senators and sent to Clear Channel CEO Mark Mays. The auction closed today with a record-breaking winning bid of $2,100,100 for charity through eBay Giving Works. Previously, the most expensive item sold through
eBay Giving Works was the celebrity-signed Harley-Davidson from Jay Leno in 2005, which sold for $800,100.

All proceeds, including Mr. Limbaugh's matched donation, totaling $4,200,200, goes to the Marine Corps - Law
Enforcement Foundation, a registered charity that provides financial assistance to the children of fallen Marines and federal law enforcement officers. Mr. Limbaugh serves on the Board of this organization and has been active on its behalf since its inception.

Mr. Limbaugh stated on his nationally syndicated radio show today, "Our
winning bidder, subject to the receipt of funds, is a wonderful woman named
Betty Casey. As trustee of The Eugene B. Casey Foundation, she gives
significant sums to hospitals, hospices, colleges and private schools.
These include The Eugene B. Casey Diabetes Education Center, The Eugene B.
Casey Swim Center, The Eugene B. Casey Academic Center and The Casey Home
Hospice. She has also donated tens of millions from the foundation and her
personal funds to the Washington Opera."

He continued to share that, "Betty has been a listener to my program
since its inception, and we can't thank her enough for her support. We'd
also like to thank eBay Giving Works for allowing us to break their website
in the closing moments of the auction, and Auction Cause, who was our
consultant in prequalifying bidders and developing the auction."

"The Eugene B. Casey Foundation believes freedom of speech is a basic
right of every citizen of this country. Their purchase of the smear letter
was to demonstrate their belief in this right, and to support Rush
Limbaugh, his views and his continued education of us," said a foundation
spokesperson.

eBay Spokesperson Catherine England commented, "eBay Giving Works can
confirm that Rush Limbaugh's listing has set a new record as the most
expensive item sold for charity on the site. Unique items such as Rush's
letter are what make eBay a one-of-a kind experience. eBay Giving Works is
exceptionally pleased to see such a generous donation going to support the
Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation and the good work that they do."

Mrs. Casey receives the original "Harry Reid Smear" letter with 41
signatures; the Halliburton briefcase in which the letter is secured 24
hours a day; a personal letter of thanks from Mr. Limbaugh; and a
photograph of the radio personality displaying the letter on stage in
Philadelphia on October 11.
