Beware Before you buy Progressive
This is regarding Progressive Auto Insurance. They’re the ones with the clever television ads featuring the perky brunette actress all dressed in white. What you might not know is that the chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, one of the largest funders of the left in America. He’s your typical rich spoiled kid who took over the company from his father and apparently feels “guilty” for his success and now dedicates himself to making it impossible for anyone else to become wealthy.
Between 2001 and 2003, Lewis funneled $15 million to the ACLU, the group most responsible for destroying what’s left of America’s Judeo-Christian heritage. Indeed, Lewis is himself a ACLU member. One of the ACLU projects he earmarked his funds for was an effort to sue school districts who have drug testing policies. In other words, this idiot wants teachers to be able to use drugs without fear of exposure. I wonder what he would think if all his own employees came to work drugged out every day.
Lewis also gave $12.5 million to MoveOn.org and American Coming Together, two key components of the socialist left. The former group is perhaps the main group used by the Obama forces to organize their activists; the latter group is a 527 political action group that essentially served as a front for the SEIU union thugs who ran ACORN. His funding for these groups was conditional on matching contributions from George Soros, the international socialist who finances much of the Obama political network.
It’s disturbing that Lewis made a fortune as a result of capitalism but now finances a progressive movement that threatens to destroy the free enterprise system. He reminds me somewhat of Armand Hammer, the former head of Occidental Petroleum who did business with Joseph Stalin and become his good friend, around the same time Stalin was executing businessmen all over the USSR.
What angers me further is the way this company is targeting television shows watched by conservatives such as Fox News. Peter Lewis is making a fortune off of conservative Americans so that he can destroy our country. He’s banking on no one finding out who he is. I think it’s time we expose this clown.

Interesting points...
No one will insure my boat cheaper though... No one will touch their rates, and no one is easier to deal with. I go online, put my info in there, pay, and can immediately print my Id card. On top of that the next closest price is $200 more.
I hear some people complain that they're tough when you try to make a claim, but the value of my boat is so small that they would be silly to fight it. Personally, there aren't any negatives to using Progressive. I'd be happy to give my money to another company if they can come close to what Progressive offers me.

Progressive's been very aggressive in a soft insurance market. Generally speaking, their handling of claims is not what I'd like to see. When it comes to insurance, rates are about 3rd or 4th on my list of important things.
You don't buy insurance for the low rates, you buy it for the insurance.

We need more threads like this.As Americans who support a country where everyone should do his share and not expect the government to provide for them.We can no longer do business with anyone who does not share these views.

That’s a reference to the fact that Soros and Lewis have helped bankroll the campaign to legalize pot, featuring a slick public relations effort that falsifies the dangerous nature of marijuana and presents it as “medicine.” Since 1991, Lewis has contributed $5 million to the ACLU to fight drug laws, and he has made large contributions to drug “legalization” campaigns in Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, Utah, Florida, Maine, and Massachusetts.

I don't agree with anything Lewis supports, but that really does not matter to me.
I wouldn't let Progressive insure anything I own. There claim service sucks and they will do everything they can to depreciate anything they can.

Beware of Progressive indeed! You will love them until you have to make a claim. I had a real nightmare with them when my boat got rear ended in tow. I won't rehash the whole situation but BEWARE!! Progressive will never insure anything of mine again!!! Oh, and their rates are not the lowest. Try Allstate.
