This was sent to me by an uncle who knows of my political leanings.
Since so many motorcyclists have insurance with Progressive,
I thought I would share, just to let people know whom they were
dealing with and what they are supporting with their money.
Good Riding!

Progressive Insurance- Aptly Named for the "Progressive" ACLU Owner
How does a leftist/liberal like to refer to himself ? Certainly not a
leftist or a liberal, the title they like is "progressive". After you
read this, if you have your insurance through Progressive Auto
Insurance, you just might want to start shopping around for new
insurance. Also, be sure and send this around to everyone you know.
This is a heads up regarding Progressive Auto Insurance. You know
who they are. 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 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Lewis_%28businessman%29> , 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 an ACLU member.
Lewis also gave $12.5 million to MoveOn.org <http://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 became 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 way of life. He’s banking on no one finding out who he is. I
think it’s time we expose this clown.

Ha! Monsters under the bed, eh?
Lewis also is one of the biggest supporters of legislative
efforts to legalize marijuana.
>dedicates himself to making it >impossible for anyone else to become wealthy.
As anybody in the Cleveland area knows, Progessive hires
entrepreneurs and buys from tons of local businesses. They
are headquartered here and employ a lot of people here,
including many that have become wealthy as a result
of them being here.
Lewis took a $6million company (spoiled rich kid?)
and made it a $12 billion company. Daddy's boy
did WAY better at running a company than Daddy
ever did.
Lewis is no more a threat to the free enterprise system than
wacko right wingers are to the constitution (forget that 16th
amendment for instance, 1st too, 4th for that matter when
some perceived threat makes it easy).

Nonetheless, while I can hold my nose and buy a Camelbak bite valve at
REI if I *have* to, "I wish a satanic death on Progressive".

Might want to refer all the way back a week or so to what
"progressive" John Cusack had to say.
