My Money Used to Sell Me Insurance

I just got a form letter from the US Dept of Homeland  Security today.

Presorted standard mail  New Brunswick NJ  permit  #1512.

It tells me I should consider flood insurance-- that "every home is at risk of some level of flooding."

On the back of the form it gives me a check list to take an inventory of my items.

It advises I call my insurance company, OR   one of the two  Insurance companies it has listed on the letter.  One in Rowlett, Tx  and one in Allen, Tx.

This mailout has cost us taxpayers about  $26million, assuming all 'households' got it.

How many people do you think will trash it without even reading it?

I do, most of the time.

Do you think Homeland Security  really thinks  we  in the age of Media 24/7 do not have info we need regarding  flood insurance?

Who is making money on this?--maybe the Insurance  Companies?

And it's off our dime.

...just another waste of taxpayer money...my opinion

Are you SURE it was from the Dept. of Homeland Security or just made to look like it? The government wouldn't recommend a business like that.

Also, the entire Homeland Security Department doesn't care about flooding, only FEMA. Any letter would come from them.

I'm looking at the letter now.
The return address:
U.D. Department of Homeland Security
P.O. Box 2012
Jessup, MD 20794

On the back of the letter, on the flap, it has "FEMA" beside a stamp "US Eepartment of Homeland Security", and then a house in water emblem with the words: "National Flood Insurance Program"
The form letter itself also has this info (as I just mentioned on the flap).
The letter is signed "David I. Maurstad, Federal Insurance Administrator, National Flood Insurance Program.
If it is a scam, (or a 'mis-leadment") they really have B&lls.
Since you are in Media at Fox, can you check it out?
Could it be that the Insurance Lobby is using Homeland Security and FEMA as an OK thing which they have agreed to?
I would appreciate your investigation.

Sure, I'm happy to. I'd like one of our reporters to take a look.
Is there any way you can mail a copy to us here at the station?
I will send you an email at that address you used to create this account.

rocky, since when does any government care about the foolish waste of OUR money? It's not their's after all, so it's not like they worry about throwing it down the toidy.
I haven't gotten one... will be on the lookout.

I'd say contact your local Congress and make them FIND OUT for you. Let us know.

I would bet money this is a private scam boondoggle. An envelope can have any emblem the printer decides, even HS. I keep getting private enterprize mail with VA (Veterans Administration) letterhead. Wrong? Sure. But our Congress doesn't disallow it, so I keep getting it.

I am still cogitating about this info. I rather doubt if anything I say will change a heart or a life, but one never knows.
