Mr. Ed


Rust,

I realize you are a very busy man. However, that is not any reason for you to push me off to your LaRaza public affairs person, Irma Bantista, for an answer to my concerns about State Farm's relationship to LaRaza. The letter was addressed to you.

Since State Farm, under your direction, decided not to help our citizens in Mississippi and the Gulf Coast, I believe you should not be giving policyholder money to LaRaza or any other organization including politicians or their PACs. Our policyholders (mutual company, remember) would be better served by using our premium monies exclusively for our mutual members (policyholders). Again, I object to State Farm contributing money to LaRaza for any reason.

For your information, there is a concerted effort by American citizens like me to boycott State Farm by cancelling our policies in protest to your determined support of anti-American organizations like LaRaza.

As a current member and owner of State Farm, I demand two things:

1. Stop all contributions to all outside organizations and entities to include LaRaza and PACs.
2. Send all policyholders a list of the organizations that State Farm contributes policyholder's money to in order for us to see some transparency in State Farm's handling of our premium monies.

Furthermore, I do not expect you to push this letter off to any of your spinmeisters for a reply. I expect that you would be man enough to answer this letter.

(Time to stand!!! Thank you to the man that care
