Consumer Federation of California

When an insurance company spends millions to eliminate consumer protections, claiming it really wants to save drivers money, the joke is on us.

But that’s exactly what Mercury Insurance is doing with its Proposition 17, the "lose a job, pay higher insurance rates" initiative.

Director Robert Greenwald’s new April Fools Day video shows the absurdity of Mercury’s claim that it is only motivated by kindness in its campaign to legalize discriminatory pricing that targets the unemployed, military personnel, students entering the workforce and others with higher auto insurance rates.

Please check out this video and forward it to your friends and neighbors, so no one is fooled by Prop 17’s multi million dollar campaign.
