State Farm Protest - George resolves to continue his protest: "Sept. 3, 1992 was a momentous day. State Farm Insurance moved into its new claims office at 1010 Hilltop Dr. in Redding, Ca.
And like a good neighbor, George Withers was there. And he has stayed there. For one year now [at the time of this article], Withers has been spending Monday through Saturday, for several hours each day, out on Hilltop Drive directly across the street from the State Farm building. A sign proclaims 'Don’t buy State Farm', and adds 'Honk if your with us'. If honking is any indication, there are a lot of people with Withers. At least 75 percent of the passing cars honk, bicycles ring their bells, and Withers waves at every one of them. Some afternoons the din is near deafening. 'My arm gets pretty tired by the end of the day.' Withers said."
