AS I WAS SURFING I FOUND THIS STATEMENT ON MEDIA MATTERS FROM STATE FARM

In response to inquiries concerning State Farm's recent advertisements in the Glenn Beck program, I want to clarify this situation.

We have a policy of not advertising on political or opinion programming. We have corrected this issue and have taken steps to make sure it does not happen again.

Understanding our millions of customers and thousands of associates hold a full spectrum of views on political issues, State Farm has a long-standing practice of not advertising in political discussion programming regardless of a program's political point of view.

Because of the recent situation, State Farm is now evaluating its commercial placement practices to ensure its political issues advertising guidelines are maintained.

Good thing we are being forced to move away from State Farm here in Florida. They are closing their home insurance group in this state because the laws will not let them raise their rates enormously to offset what they think their losses could be in the event of future major hurricanes. We also bundled our auto and flood with them.

They decided to threaten the State that they would leave and the State called their bluff. The good thing is that it forced us to do some shopping and we are still evaluating our choices. Right now Farm Owners has the top of the totem pole.
