Anybody know what state insurance regs have to say about direct political campaigning bills or candidates? Here's why I ask: I just got a 2 page, presorted first class letter from my State Farm Insurance agent telling me how bad 186 would be if it got passed. It was 'signed' by my agent, and on State Farm letterhead. I called and left a message explaining that I didn't like my insurance rates being driven up by political advertisements. I also explained that this sort of thing makes me thinkg about going to other agents for a cheaper policy. I also plan on giving State Farm a call as well. (I find it ironic that the insurance megopoly, which screws us all, is afraid that the state gov't is infringing on their turf. Sort of like a turf war by protection rackets. :-) -- J.
