PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE is owned by Peter Lewis: Who is he?
You’ve seen and smiled at the Progressive Insurance TV commercials.
Well, you’re about to learn the rest of the story:
PROGRESSIVE AUTO INSURANCE
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 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.
PS – If you need repairs under a Progressive policy, they use secondary market parts only. Just so you know.

I like to be able to talk to my insurance agent face to face when needed. Not a big fan of mobile offices when it comes to insurance.

I am concerned about the "snapshot" technology Progressive is using. They install a monitor in your call which records your driving over a period of time and they judge the risk based on the extracted info. The Feds are also looking at the same technology to relay the number of miles you drive during a reporting period. You then will be taxed on the number of miles you drove to be paid at the gas pump (included in your gas price). It is a road use fee. GPS tracking can't be far behind.
