PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE  is owned by Peter  Lewis: Who is he?  Read  this...VERY  IMPORTANT INFO TO PASS TO  EVERYONE  CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY. .


You've   seen and smiled at the Progressive Insurance TV  commercials

 Well,  you' re about to  learn the rest of the story:
                                
           You know their TV commercials, the ones featuring the ditsy actress all dressed in white.  What you might not know is that the Chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, one of  the major funders of 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 arms of the socialist left. 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 progressive movement that  threatens to destroy the American free enterprise system that is targeting television shows on Fox News.  

Peter Lewis is making a fortune off of  conservative Americans (who buy his auto insurance) that he applies 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.

All of a sudden I like Progressive more.

Boy there is a lot of hysteria in the previous post.

i kinda thought "anvil" would have that view point.  i'm wondering when "se" will chime in.

[Psychotic Bovine]

The one thing about Progressive that bothers me is the "safe driver discount" device.  You know the one that you install in the diagnostic port port of your car's cpu, and it tracks your "safe" driving habits.  Yeah, let me think, hmmmm:   OVER MY DEAD BODY.
Yes, I know, it's an optional thing for insurance buyers to get discounts, and no one is forcing anyone into it.  But, the fact that someone thinks it's a good idea is enough to bother me!
Right wing conservative Christian and proud of it!

[DarkMeister]

"You know their TV commercials, the ones featuring the ditsy actress all dressed in white."

Progressive, or Regressive - I would SOOOO hit that.

I don't like that little box either and can't imagine anyone thinking that's something they want.

It's funny, but Progressive Flo is kinda gross looking, but something about her makes me think she'd be great in the sack. For one thing I'm a good enough looking guy that if I walk into a bar she's coming home with me. That home run factor means a lot.

[fudgie]

We got them 'little' boxes in our ambulances.  Now we drive like old ladies. Turn to hard, drive to fast, stop to hard, bamm! Points. Did get 2 pts for 'accidently' trying to side swipe a cell phone lady that pulled out in front of us last shift. 

[Gary]

Just curious, have they (Progressive) come through for you when you needed them.

I know there have been a lot of comments on the lack of support, when really needed, from the other agencies, right, left, middle, side.

I seem to recall someone posting this some time ago as well.

I've used Progressive for some time and they were there when needed, for my cage anyway (car totalled due to severe hail damage). 

No bike related incidents to-date thank goodness.

[Jess from VA]

Good post RJ.... I have twice in the past posted the same information here.  Lewis' multi-million donations to everything left has been second only to George Soros himself.   Lewis stepped down from CEO some time back, but continues as Board Chairman.  His donations as CEO were well documented, but I have had difficulty finding info on Progressive's more recent contributions.

Nonetheless, as I said before, I would not do business with them if they were the best and cheapest insurance available. 

[Disco]

I don't like their politics, but that's only reason #2 why I won't use them.  I got nailed by one of their insureds (cage to cage) - no question as to who was at fault - and they dragged their feet for so long I had to sue to get normal (and nominal, BTW) medical costs paid for.  They suck.

[czuch]

Yea Flo's hot. In that new in town, bars about to close sorta way.
Anybody whose hair isnt messed up when they pull off the helmet, made a pact.

[hubcapsc]

Just curious, have they (Progressive) come through for you when you needed them.

I got a crack in my car windshield, and they got it replaced at no extra cost to me, with an OEM windshield.

For whatever reason, maybe the above, my rates have gone up. Wife is checking into it, haven't heard
anything back...

-Mike "it is free, unless you use it..."

[R J]

Wife is still waiting on them to donate some money into our checking account for the pain and headaches caused by their insured who run a stop sign.

Out of the box the lady said they would pay $400.   Told her to see me in a year.  The year is up and I told them the pain and suffering she went through has upped her price to $1,000.     Adjuster told me she had agreed to $400 back when the accident happened.    I said bull puckey she did not agree to anything, except to talk and discuss in a year.  I said, that is your offer, I said, the Grand is her counter offer.    Been stuck there ever since.

Got a letter from Progressive that they wanted the wife to sign the release so as to close the file on this accident.    Told them when the adjuster decides to agree to her request and pays it, she will be more than glad to sign it, till then, you can send all the request letters you so desire, and nuttin is going to happen.   Haven't heard back.

[Willow]

They treated me very well when I had my mishap.  They were on  both sides of the table as the driver who caused the impact was also insured by Progressive.  In my case, because I don't agree politically with what some of the primary owners are doing I should stay with them.  I've taken more money out of Progressive than I'll ever put in.    

On the other hand, State Farm was very hard to deal with when our van got crunched.  They too were on both sides of the table in that incident.

If the population at large thinks Flo is "hot" I am so glad I'm out of touch with the population at large.      

(Not in my most desperate moment!)   

[Varmintmist]

I am into then for more then they are me, by quite a bit.

I cannot complain about the service. They did exactly what they signed up for, twice, in good time and amount. This adjuster was willing to work with me and we shaved some off the total so that it wouldnt be totaled. My rate did go up a bit for the MC, but honestly, with 2 crashes in 2 years, I understand the price change.

[solo1]

I'm sure that if we looked hard enough, we'd found something like this in just about every company that we do business with

Life's complicated enough and too short for me to "draw such a fine bead'

I will continue with Progressive.

+1 on that Brother.
She's not terribly unattractive without the goofy makeup though.


Still, she ain't Sharon. And I guess at the end of the day, that's the deal breaker.

[SANDMAN5]

As posted above, they've spent WAY more on me than I'll ever pay back.
BTW, new name for the ACLU is "Anti-American Civil Liberties Union."

[BigAl]

Farm Bureau has got them all beat.

Had Progressive and the policy was outrageous.

Farm Bureau was a 1/3 less and never hassle me on claims.

I wonder if this guy is all that.

Some people have thier own idea of a perfect world.

I am sure we all do, but seldom are our views all encompassing and have all peoples ideas taken into account.

I like Jesus and his view points on life and others must hang(Or take a Back seat)

[Popeye]

I had to deal with them years ago, bike on bike accident.  Their unlicensed motorcycle rider rear
ends me as I was turning.  I had to fight for everything, from the price of my Magna, clothes, helmet,
leather jacket, and medical bills. Thye treated me like it was my fault.  I would never use them.


After reading RJ's post, another reason not to use them.

[Farther]

I can't blame a man for sharing his wealth with what he considers worthy causes. 

[Hoser]

"For one thing I'm a good enough looking guy that if I walk into a bar she's coming home with me. That home run factor means a lot."

A little full of ourselves aren't we?       Hoser

[Valkahuna]

Been waiting for someone to pick up on that statement. Does speak loud and volumes, does'nt it!

"For one thing I'm a good enough looking guy that if I walk into a bar she's coming home with me. That home run factor means a lot."

[Gear Jammer]

I can't blame a man for sharing his wealth with what he considers worthy causes.  

But he'll be sharing wealth he received from someone other than me  
and as long as I'm not spreading wealth,, I'll mention Kohl's as another store I won't enter.

That came out all wrong! 

Actually what I mean is that I'm marginally attractive and she's attainable for a guy like me. I ain't taking Emma Stone home unless she's really, really drunk or rufee'd and even then she'd still need to be into fat guys*. There are things so obvious that even alcohol (or unconsciousness) can't hide them.

*However, there are some very attractive women who like ugly guys. I managed to marry one.

[Valkahuna]

Retraction accepted.

You really might want to get a lawyer on this.

The insurance co's know all of the tricks and you will never beat them without help.

I don't know how it works in your state but here in VA if you don't file suit or settle within 2 yrs they don't have to pay.

In Nov of 2009 the wifes car was rear ended and totaled, when I called the insurance company of the driver that hit her, the first thing out of the guys mouth was to begin telling me everything that they wouldn't pay.



I told him that his next phone converasation would be with our attorney.

The case still isn't settled since she still has some ongoing issues.


I was rear ended in Dec 2001 the insurance company didn't pay until Jul 2007.

My lawyer told me that then that insurance companies estimate how much a case will cost them as soon as the wreck is reported and they set that money aside into an interest bearing account.

He said that they then drag the case out as long as possible hoping to make all or most of the original capitol back in interest.

Good save!   



I had Allstate and their accident forgiveness program. The were so damn forgiving that they paid the max coverage to my passenger and raised my rates 6X what they were before. Thankfully Lori canceled the policy while I was in a coma and they never got the direct withdrawal. Progressive jerked Gunslinger around ALOT when their drunk ass driver sent his Valk doing cartwheels...Good thing he only got permanent pride damage out of that one !

Couple things....Peter Lewis was so sly, deceiving, and "banking on no one finding out", that he went and hid under the radar, by calling his company...............




...........wait for it................




................it's coming, the sly dog!.................



PROGRESSIVE!!!!!!



duh!!!



There are approximately as many people who believe Peter Lewis is more American, than the Koch Brothers, who are purposely undermining the ability of this country, to EVER recover, as there are people who believe as you do. Pretty much 50/50, or we wouldn't HAVE two parties, nor would there be much in the way of elections. And will be so, probably forever...
