A timely, but misdirected point. Listen to "Freakonomics" author Stephen Dubner on the business show Marketplace from April 18, 2012. It would seem to be a minimal move in the direction of (profitable at the macro level!) Corporate Social Responsibility for State Farm to avoid even the slightest association with "Stand Your Ground; Kill Your Neighbor" laws. It's not just good "macro" policy not to support such laws, it's good policy to oppose such laws. Policy holders certainly need not wait for an organized official action to demand that State Farm cut ties with ALEC.

I am so glad I didn't switch insurance from Auto Owners last month. I might have saved a few dollars but I'd rather deal with a company that has some ethics.
“State Farm IS There”, at ALEC Board Meetings; INSURING that they make even more profit and that customers don't have a voice and don't get what they think they're getting.
With "neighbors" like that, who needs foreign enemies?!
