In 2000, Lewis made the kind of news uncommon among billionaires: He was arrested after customs agents found 1.7 ounces of marijuana and 2 ounces of hashish in his luggage at a New Zealand airport. He later admitted to three charges of importing drugs. He also freely admitted that he was a regular marijuana smoker. The charges were dropped when the insurance magnate agreed to make a donation to a drug rehabilitation center.
This incident may have helped to raise Lewis’ political consciousness, as they say. A year later he became the largest single donor to the American Civil Liberties Union. Significantly, there were minor “strings attached” to his $7 million gift — namely, that $5 million be earmarked for the ACLU’s drug-policy litigation project, which challenges laws on drug testing in schools and on the medicinal use of marijuana.
In 2003, Lewis’ foundation, the Place Fund, gave 4,122 shares of Progressive Corp. stock valued at $293,432 to the Marijuana Policy Project and 665 shares of the stock valued at $49,965 to the Drug Policy Foundation of Washington.
In 2002 Progressive shares valued at about $199,000 went to the Marijuana Policy Project and 6,633 shares of Progressive valued at $998,598 went to the Drug Policy Alliance. The Tides Foundation, a major funder of leftist causes, also received 6,633 shares of Progressive stock.

Just in case you carry Progressive Insurance you might want to rethink that policy. You premiums support radical left wing organizations and the communistic ACLU.
For those that think marijuana is a harmless drug habit think again. A recent segment on the local news talked about the percentage levels of THC in marijuana. Back in the 70’s and 80’s the THC level was at 2%. Today, those percentages are between 6% and 13%. The average was not given. Even at 6% this is triple the strength from the 70’s and 80’s. Very addictive and harmful levels.

This eRumor originally appeared back in 2006 after an alert from the American Family Association went viral on the World Wide Web accusing billionaire George Soros and Progressive Insurance Chairman Peter Lewis of being the leading enemies of traditional values in the U.S.

On December 29, 2006, the American Family Association sent out an alert to their subscribers based on the findings in the book Culture Warrior by Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly. In it, O'Reilly wrote that Soros and Lewis are "working feverishly to ensure that the secular-progressive battalions are supplied with plenty of resources and firepower by which to pursue their global foreign-policy strategy and radical domestic agenda." During the Talking Points portion of his January 6, 2006 Fox News program, O'Reilly reported that Lewis has donated $25 Million over the years to the ACLU since 2001. Click for O'Reilly story.

A recent September 17, 2010 opinion article appeared in the Wall Street Journal that said, "The progressive left has spent the better part of a decade building an archipelago of tightly linked third-party groups: MoveOn.org, Democracy Alliance, the Center for American Progress, their spinoffs and dozens of others. Bankrolled in large part by billionaires like George Soros and Peter Lewis, and along with more traditional institutions like organized labor and the environmental lobby, these organizations are effectively a shadow party that operates outside the ambit of the Democratic Party."

Lewis is listed as one of 400 richest Americans by Forbes Magazine and is noted to have donated to ACLU, as well as a lobbyist organization for the legalization of marijuana for medical use, the Marijuana Policy Project. Click for Forbes listing.
