1. I had Hartford insurance and had hail damage, it took

me three months of fighting with them to get paid. Every house in my neighborhood had hail damage and had their roofs replaced while I was arguing with them. All they did for me is raise my blood pressure.

5. I wish you luck and hope you never have to make a claim. They

finally paid up when I blew my stack and said I was going to make a complaint to the State Insurance Bureau and my state Senator, the next morning they said they would send me a check. I cancelled their f---g insurance and saved several hundred dollars with the new insurer.

2. The Sierra Club has become the corporate whore of the environmental movement...

The will jump in bed with anyone who tosses them a few bucks. This is the group that conse4rvatives belong to so they can say "See, I care about the environment".

F*cking corporate lapdogs are all they are. F*ck 'em and their horse.

3. +1000

This can be said about many national issue-driven nonprofits.

It's just mutual marketing at this point.

6. Same thing with AARP, Hartford carries their insurance

they claim to represent seniors when all their interest is is selling insurance to them.
