I had to start a separate thread to get the word out...

Please change $10 to $10 Mill.

Thanks

What do you expect when your insurance company is named "progressive"?

[concerned about politics]

I'll have to check. I'm pretty sure ours is through Prodential. Because we use a broker, I'll check to make sure it's still the same, just in case!

Peter Lewis found Karl Rove's strategy for getting President George W. Bush re-elected

How does he know what Rove's strategery is, anyway?

[Billthedrill]

The great thing about campaign finance reform was that it leveled the playing field so that rich people couldn't spend millions of dollars to influence politics their way...right, Mr. Kerry?

I swore off Progressive when I found out it, along with University of Phoenix, joined George $oro$' deceptive movement to legalize marijuana. That was even before the commercial with the vengeful girlfriend pinching off her cheating boyfriend's scrotum via a voodoo website (the new version has the BF's head shrinking at the end).

I was delighted when their multi-million dollar Super Bowl ads featuring E.T. flopped like a giraffe on ice skates.

Cool. Now I have something to write on their weekly junk mail solicitations.

Be sure to send all your unaddressed junk mail back to them in their "postage paid" envelopes along with a note telling them all where to stuick it.

Glad I'm not a Progressive stockholder nor a client of the company.

[Investment Biker]

Went on progressives website and wrote a kind note to the investor relations person. I would suggest that all do the same.

[Sam Cree]

If their aim is to get people to vote against the president, are they not going to back someone else? Inquiring minds want to know whom.

[VRWC_minion]

Things that make you go hmmm. The largest cost in insurance is claims and the legal costs for defense is huge. Why would a major insurance stockholder and office want to take a stand that increases costs ? Does he benefit somehow when the insurance company incurs large settlement costs or is there something more to this legislation ?

I emailed them a good one.

My Fellow NEOhio and NWPa FReepers,
You remember what this POS tried to do last year in "decriminalizing" the first drug offense. Sentence him/her to counseling provided by "my" company.

Do you buy your insurance from Progressive?

Do you really want to subsidize this guy?

…..Semper Fi

I once worked for Progressive and actually met Peter J. Lewis on several occassions. He signs all his correspondence, "Peace, Joy, and Love" (i.e., his initials, "PJL"). He is one strange guy. I even had to help with a fundraiser he once had for Dudakis. LOL.

He has joined with Soros. They are the billionaires that also support all the pro-drug propaganda and intitiatives.

Soros has an agenda for total gun control. Too bad we have so many on FR working as his useful idiots.

Or maybe they are not 'useful idiots' but are paid idiots.

[ladyinred]

Let's see, Progressive Corp. The name says it all. ( Why do I not hear a bunch of screaming about some rich man trying to influence the vote and take down a President?)

"I am a classic overachiever. I've got to tell you what an overachiever is. An overachiever is a person who spends his entire life proving to himself that he's not as bad as he knows he is ... I have spent 15-plus years in intense psychotherapy of one kind of another in a continuing effort to understand myself and to prevent myself from responding to my own emotions by doing things that are counterproductive to my interests. " - Peter B. Lewis, "Business As A Creative Process," Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art Lecture Series, November 1986.

Well, they won't get my business. This man should be ashamed of himself.

Lewis put the "ogre" in "Progressive."
