I got an enrollment form from AARP the other day in the mail with a card with my name on it and wanting me to enroll.
I drew a hugh black line through the whole page and wrote a note in big print telling them that they could take their AARP and shove it because I would never enroll or pay dues to an organization that would spend those dues on full page ads denouncing any program that would go against an attempt to put more of my children's and grandchildren's money under their own control.
Thankfully, they included a postage-paid envelope so I didn't have to waste a stamp on that scam organization.
Well sleuth, I've been an AARP member for quite a few years. NOW I'm considering dropping my membership. I think it is a stupid thing for them to do those ads. I think all of my children are in favor of being able to invest some of their own SS money. And I don't believe my share will be affected one bit. AARP just has to have a "cause" to keep up their membership and pay their well paid Staff. I think I can do without their Rental Car Discount from now on.... that's about all I get from them.
