Hi All,
Well, I got a rude awakening last night while reading my mail.  I was
reading a pamphlet sent to me by my insurance company (State Farm) and was
horrified to see a picture of a baby bottle feeding with a PL****x nurser
and the following blurb:

"Those of you expecting a baby can recieve a program we're introducing with
information and coupons from Mead Johnson for infant formula and an
oppourtunity to get baby gifts.

Call 1-888-SF EVENT (1-888-733-8368) and tell them you're my policy holder..."

Their hours are 7am-7pm M-F central time (in the USA) and I plan on calling
them first thing Monday mornig as well as writing them a letter of complaint.
Please folks, we need all the pens we can get writing to try and talk them
out of doing this.  I would much rather see them instigate a program of
giving moms referrals to LLLL or LC's in their area and "coupons" to use for
BF paraphanalia in conjuntion with the major pump compainies or nursing wear
stores.

Their  Main address (as listed on their info card) is:

State Farm Insurance Companies
One State Farm Plaza
Bloomington, Illinois  61710

Thanks all,
Jay
