Thanks for the info. I won't use them but also because of the political views of the owner /person running the company. Why do you think they call it Progressive?
Today's world economy is too complex to even attempt to base purchases on the socio-political opinions of suppliers of goods or services. Shouldn't buy goods from red China. (The goal of communist countries is to defeat democracies). Shouldn't buy Arab oil. (Muslims hate infadels). Somebody likes gays, someone else hates them. Someone dislikes birth control, someone else favors it. Someone favors legalizing pot, someone else uses it legal or not. I'm purchasing a good or service from the source that does the best job of providing it, not from the source that votes as I do.

I'm afraid I disagree with your position. In the case of Progressive I choose not to consider them in my insurance buying needs. Based strictly on their major support of far left issues. There are many more options available.
I buy American made and my fuel from Sinclair (North American Crude)My trucks are from American companies. ( yes I realize much is made over seas ) My trucks were assembled in Kansas city and Michigan truck.
Just my opinion.
Peter Lewis, the now deceased astute businessman that built Progressive Insurance to become the third largest auto insurer in the US, did not have any day-to-day involvement in the company after giving up his executive position in 2000. His personal political/social support does not reflect the views of the company as a whole. Progressive as a company, donates millions to a variety of local and national charities. Or was it Mr. Lewis' multi-million dollar support of various museums and universities that you find objectionable?
