PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE is owned by Peter Lewis: Who is he? Read this...
You’ve seen and smiled at the Progressive Insurance TV commercials with the cute, but slightly ditsy brunette dressed in white. Well, you’re about to learn the rest of the story:
PROGRESSIVE AUTO INSURANCE has great TV commericals, but waht you might not know is that the Chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, one of the major funders of Obama, ACORN and other far-leftist causes in America .
Between 2001 and 2003, Lewis funneled $15 million to the ACLU, the group most responsible for destroying what's left of Americas Judeo-Christian heritage. Lewis also gave $12.5 million to MoveOn.org http://moveon.org/ and American Coming Together, two key propaganda and thuggery arms of the socialist far-left in America.
His funding for these groups was conditional on matching contributions from George Soros, the America-hating socialist who is the chief financier of the Obama political machine!
Lewis made a fortune as a result of capitalism, but now finances a socialist movement that threatens to destroy the American free enterprise system. They are also targeting television shows on Fox News and their conservative hosts.
Peter Lewis is making a fortune off of conservative Americans (who buy his auto insurance) but he wants to dismantle the very system that made him wealthy. He's banking on no one finding out who he is, so STOP buying Progressive Insurance and pass this information on to all your friends.

Progressive. The name should have been a tip off.
I always found those commercials irritating, and now I have more reason.
What do you expect from a bunch of Progressives ?
Ya beat me!
He's given millions to the Violence Policy Ctr & other anti-gun organizations for years.
Here in B.C. a Crown Corporation (i.e. government agency) has the monopoly on auto insurance. Just like government health care — there is no private sector alternative.
Wouldn’t it be ironic (a notable schadenfreude moment) if the “progressives” that Progressive donates to instituted government auto insurance?
I wonder how many “conservatives” will cancel their insurance. Probably not many.
I can’t stand “Flo”.
You and I, my friend, have very different definitions of "cute." From the first commercial I thought she was a failed attempt by Madison Avenue to come up with an edgy and memorable characature, trying too hard to be funny and coming off as predictable and annoying.
I did several months ago on my motorcycles and found an alternative (Dairyland) which was about 30% less expensive.
But...but...but...he’s not evil like the Koch family.
I don’t buy their crappy, over priced insurance. And they will give you the shaft if you ever file a claim. I have heard that from several of their victims.
Old News about Progressive.
Just another bunch of ignorant Communists who are content to make billions off the very capitalist system they are attempting to destroy.
The very definition of jaw-dropping idiocy.
Can’t stand that insufferable, homely woman in their ads, either.
Don't forget TV commercials are pitched to an audience that thinks Obama is cool.
Flo: "do I look like I care?"
