And, 34,876,345 of the 35 million members joined to get 10 percent hotel discounts. If only they knew they could just say they belong to AARP when they check in because hotel clerks hardly ever ask for proof. Better yet, join AAA. Or AA if you're so inclined.

You don't even have to join to be claimed a "member."
You turn 50 years old, they send you literature - they claim you as a member.

When I check into a hotel I simply ask if they have a senior citizen discount.

All hotels have given a discount.

I have also called AARP and let them know how much I disapprove of their stand on personal accounts for those not currently in the social security system.

What kills me is that to join AARP, one must be 55 yrs old. Under the President's plan, SS will not change for those 55 and older. But the AARP crooks want to use the same old scare tactics anyway.

I was sent an membership application which went into the trash can. Democrats use their delusional scare tactics on these organizations in an at
attempt to stop progress in America.

HA! Good one. I belong to AAA. I don't drink, so I guess I won't be needing AA.

Do I get an A for keeping these straight?

We quit AARP once because of their hypocrisy, but rejoined because no other vehicle insurance company came close to matching their rates (thru Hartford). If another insurance company would advertise that they'd match or beat AARP Hartford's rates, they'd have our business immediately. Meanwhile we just toss their magazine and other propaganda in the trash when it arrives and ignore them. They can count us as a member, but certainly not a supporter of their agenda. I suspect we're not alone.
