Wow! Mercury Insurance has sued to stop me, former Attorney General John Van De Kamp, and former Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi from warning the public in the Official State Voter Guide about the huge premium increases to come under Mercury's Prop 17 for millions of drivers.
Mercury also says it's going to court against Attorney General Jerry Brown, who has just issued his official analysis of Prop 17 for the Voter Guide. Brown states clearly that 17 will allow insurance companies to raise premiums for those who have a lapse in their auto insurance coverage or missed a single insurance payment.
We already knew this corrupt insurance company would spend tens of millions of dollars to lie to voters about Prop 17 — it spent $3.5 million just to stick the measure on the June ballot. Now Mercury is trying to censor our views and deceive the voters–using taxpayers' money.
We're not going to let Mercury get away with it! Today we filed our own lawsuit against Mercury, asking the courts to strike the devious lies and tricks that Mercury wants to put in Voter Guide. You can read the lawsuit here.
The showdown over our right to tell voters the truth about Prop 17 will be in Sacramento Superior Court on Friday March 12th. I am confident of complete victory, but we could sorely use your help to support the legal team we have had to hire to fight back against Mercury's attempt to keep voters in the dark about its dangerous Prop 17.
Please make a contribution today to our legal defense fund and the campaign to stop Prop 17. You can read the ballot arguments we are suing to protect here.
Thanks again for all your support,
